Dryland Training for Your Strongest Season Ever - Weeks 1-2

It is that time again. The leaves are falling from the trees and the weather is driving everyone in doors. Many people have resorted to marathon days of Law and Order followed up by saddling up at the bar. Although twleve once curls are tempting, it is probably more beneficial to spend some time in the gym. I have been using this program for the last two years and it really works. The first day out, I felt stronge and skied exactly how I wanted to. The best part was that my back and quads weren't screaming the next day. Give it shot and if you have questions, please feel free to email me. Have Fun! Jess
