Q:
How can I avoid the muscle soreness the day after snowboarding?
A:
Performing specific exercises, such as squats and crunches, for these body parts will help decrease the severity of that all too common “day after†abdominal and leg muscle soreness while also improving your strength and performance. You should also be sure to perform stretches for each body part and at least 20 minutes of cardiovascular exercise three times each week to improve your range of motion and endurance.
