Sugar Bowl Ski Academy/TRX with Douglas Brooks.


 Here PT  Douglas Brooks, Director of Athlete Conditioning for Sugar Bowl Ski Academy near Lake Tahoe, works with competitive skiers daily and knows what it takes to give them an edge. Here, he shares with us a TRX “triplex” he uses to increase the lower body strength and stability of his athletes. Start by doing 12 to 15 reps of each exercise for two to three sets. Also, these are somewhat advanced moves, so they should only be attempted by individuals who have mastered basic TRX movements.
This clip is brilliant for all you skiers out there. I have just learnt to ski after snowboarding for 5-years and training to me is important to allow good range of movement with stability within the whole body so we don't get those niggles/pains in the knees and hips we want to enjoy the feeling of the movement along with feeling strong within that movement. The TRX is just one of those pieces of equipment that can give you this. I love it and so do all of my clients in fact they ask to use it within there session, and who am I to say no. Training should be fun as well as seeing those all important results, Enjoy the movement.
