How To Get Started With Plyometrics for Ski Training | Level 1

Plyometrics are awesome for ski training! They are going to help you react quicker to your environment, turn on a dime, feel more confident in the air and landing those airs, and feel more stable at high speeds.

But did you know, they are also great for keeping you as spry and healthy as you age? These are my tips for getting started with plyometrics and how you can start incorporating them into your dryland ski training.

Thank you for putting in all the effort and going into the details of showing these moves and the concept behind them. I am definitely benefiting from your variety of videos and all the information that you are sharing. I wished I was local to you and I would participate in your ski training :D I am 50 and just started learning to ski this year. I have been not physically active at any level or any form for decades. My trainer was surprised at my balancing ability on blue runs. But after my second great training session, I didn't realize how my legs and lower back started cramping!!! I had to skip skiing the last three weeks AND FOUND YOUR CHANNEL AND I'M TRYING TO TRAIN MYSELF FOR A BETTER EXPERIENCE ON THE SLOPE :D Thanks a million!!

Do you consider ladder agility foot work to be plyo?

[reddottx]

Of course I didn’t see this one until the season was over. Would you recommend doing these all offseason building from level 1 on up until next season? I’m calling the offseason 5 months. As you progress do you add weights or more reps? Thanks you. My last season was soooo much better physically with your help.

How many times you should do each rep?
