In snowboarding it is very important to be well prepared. If you don’t practise sport daily your form and the state of your muscles leave a lot to request. And that is why you should smarten up your form- set of excercises which is described below may be very helpful. You should start making these excercises about two weeks before going to ride a snowboard.

Neck and napes muscles stretching
With your left hand attract your head lightly to your left shoulder and stay in this position for about 10 seconds. Next change your hand and direction of your moves (do the same exercise with your right hand). At the end attract your head with both your hands to the chest and stay like this for 10 seconds. You should repeat this excercise every day.

Shoulders and back muscles stretching
In standing position press with your raised and bent on your elbow on the other hand backwards and down. Keep making this excercise for about 15 seconds, then change your hand.

Stretching the inner parts of your thighs
Stand in wide astride, next transmit the weigh of your body on one of your legs and bend your leg firmly. Transmit the weigh of your body from one leg to another for about 30 seconds.

Trunk circulation
Stand astride and with your hips immovable make with your trunk a circle- six circles on every direction. All trunk excercises would be useful for future snowboarders.

Calf muscles stretching
Stand in the front of the wall, in a distance of about 50 centimetres. Your trunk should be upright. Next lean forward and rest your hand on the wall just as if you want to move it. Don’t raise your feet from the floor. Make this excercise for about 20 seconds.

Thigh muscles stretching
Stand in as wide astride as you can. Push your hips lightly forward. Stay in this position for 20 seconds.

Stretching the biceps of thigh
Stand on one leg (possibly you can hold on to something). With your free hand catch your foot and attract it to your buttock. Stay in this position for 10 seconds and change your leg.

Wrists
Snowboarder’s wrists should be elastic because during the fall we often lean on them. Stretch then on every direction for about 3 minutes. Remember to do this excercise always before riding because wrists contusions are one of the most usual snowboard contusions.

Reached jumps
Make three light jumps. Fourth time jump as high as yu can, with your hands stretched up. Repeat this excercise five times. The main taks of this excercise is to strenghten the force of your legs and your jump ability.

Knees excercising
With your legs lightly spaced out, on the position similar to this on the snowboard, make circles with your knees first on one and then on the other direction. Make this excersise for about 3-4 minutes.

Jumping joint excercises
Take the same position as in the previous excercise. Transmit the weigh of your body on your left leg. Lean the other leg on your fingers and make circles with it on both directions. After one minute change your leg.
