STRETCH… before and AFTER workouts…
[/quote]
as a skier, steve, you should be doing this anyway.
-when i was racing(ski-racing) i would THOROUGHLY stretch EVERYTHING, lower, upper, legs, arms, neck,back,etc.
i suggest go on a 5-10 min. jog/run to get the heart rate up AND THEN strech for 15-20 minutes and dont skimp. do long counts 15-20 seconds and hold the stretch. dont go lightly

Man, I did a 45 minute pilates video with my lady just now. Shit is insane hard. So much I couldn’t do because I am lacking the abdominal strength and power to do it, as well as flexibility.
Really feel good after doing it though. I’m gonna try to do it 2x a week ontop of Mtn Biking. We’ll see how it goes.
I really cannot rip on pilates AT ALL anymore now because it really is very difficult and demanding.

STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH…i cant stress it enough, if you want to be able to tweak/do legit crosses/tails you have to be able to grab, then stretch the trick out(to be styly)
