Workouts : Training with Patrick Deneen

This video highlights the importance of using unstable surfaces as a strength building tool, as well as a balance activity.



- Unstable surfaces engage lots of stabilizing muscles which are essential for skiing and keeping our joints and tendons free of injury during the ski season. The activity's using the balance board and bosu ball are great for toning these stabilizer muscles. When using weights, remember to start light; you'll be surprised how much more difficult squats are when you're doing them on a balance board. 

Workout plan
- complete circuit 3 times
One arm plank: 30 seconds for each arm
Jumping lunge: 20 reps for each side
Bosu rock squat: 45 seconds
Balance board/ Bosu squat: 10 reps
Step ups: 10 reps for each leg
