For Strong Legs and Glutes While Snowboarding
Squats
Place the LOOP BAND around your thighs with your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend your knees. Your thighs should be parallel to the floor. Push your knees outward as you perform the movement. Return to the starting position.
Side Walks
Place the LOOP BAND around your thighs in the standing position, directly above your knees. Bend your knees. Move sideways one step at a time.
Leg Raises
Start in a push-up position with your hands on the BLACKROLL. Keep your core engaged so that your body forms a straight line throughout the exercise. Alternately lift one leg off the floor, keeping it straight.
