Snowvana Stability Workout | Balance & Plyos for Skiers & Riders

[@estherdehei9763]

Hey Mikey, another great session. I love how these ‘small’ exercises help me stabilise. One thing, you point at some video links during this session but they are not there 🤭 Could you still add them? Many thanks 🙏

Hi Esther! Thanks so much for your kind words and for highlighting the impact of these exercises! 😊 The video links you mentioned are added as cards during the session, but to make it easier, I’ve now included them in the video description with timestamps. Happy training! 💪🎿

This is great. Is there a reason you wear shoes doing all these exercises?

[@outdooradventuretraining]

Yes, I’m wearing minimalist zero-drop shoes. For a workout like this, especially with plyometrics, impact management is key. While I personally aim for sustainability in my training, performing multiple workouts per week and spending significant time training outdoors means a little extra support can be helpful for injury prevention and longevity. That said, these exercises can absolutely be performed barefoot if that aligns with your practice and you’re well-acclimated to zero-drop or minimalist footwear!

@@outdooradventuretraining I hear you, when I'm training outside either with kettlebells or plyometrics I wear a pair of old Altra escalantes, very much minimal zero drop shoes. When I train inside I am typically barefoot, I do a lot of yoga and kettlebell training indoors and I do it all barefoot. I used to have completely flat feet but I now have a solid arch and no longer pronate or need orthotics. I attribute this to training kettlebell ballistics barefoot I'm sure the yoga helps too but regardless, hard training barefoot has been super helpful for my knees ankles and feet. I'm not some weird barefooter though, I do run in shoes. These are great videos and I appreciate them I'm working some of these exercises into my program! thanks
