It's time to get ready for the snow season. Every year around this time I start getting really excited that snowboarding is right around the corner.

It's probably been more than eight months since you have skied or snowboarded and you just want to tear it up and down that mountain.

So it's your first day out, and you have all your cool new gear and look like a pro. But if you haven't been working out, boy are you going to be in for a surprise.

On your first day it is likely that after a few minutes your legs will be burning and you will be panting and out of breath.

Be careful, because you have an increased chance of being injured. The next day you will feel so sore that you may feel like taking the season off just to recover.

Whether you're new to the snow or a pro, there are fundamental key exercises you can do to prepare yourself. Strength, endurance, flexibility, and balance training will increase your performance and enjoyment of snowboarding.

You will be able to ride longer, better, and decrease your chance of injury.
