I wanna get back into snowboarding but im so out of shape 😬 Last i was on the slopes was 11 years ago (ouch.) so it will be like starting all over again and i honestly cant remember if it was that physically taxing or not, aside from getting up on your heels/toes. Considering it 🙈 - ThreadSky

Better start doing squats and stretching

Only way to get back into shape is to start doing it! It sounds like a lot of fun, and it's not something that keeps being accessible with age. So if you have a shot now, and feel like it would be fun, go do it!

Yea... Last time I went snowboarding was pre-covid and I'm super out of shape rn...

Work isn't helping either 🥲🥲🥲

dden009.bsky.social•52 days ago

Knowing myself ill probably go, fall several times and chill at the teahouse for the rest of the day 😅
BUT THATS A DAY WELL SPENT TOO DJDHFJ

therunop.bsky.social•52 days ago

Hey, at least you get to see some awesome views, get a chill day in the snow and just have fun overall :>

jackblue.bsky.social•52 days ago

It’s prooooobably gonna beat up on your leggies, glutes and core for your first time back, it certainly did for me! But like others have said, if you have the heel toe transfer, it’s like riding a bike! Everything will come back to you :3 Maybe schedule the next off for physical stuff tho 💀

dden009.bsky.social•52 days ago

10000% taking at least few days off after lmaooo

marshiepup.bsky.social•52 days ago

Yeah I am in the same boat. The weather hasn't been great so I have been holding off.

dden009.bsky.social•52 days ago

The conditions here have been awesome but i never thought id get back to wanting to start again 😭 sold my entire equipment so id have to rent out stuff

marshiepup.bsky.social•52 days ago

Renting is still a good way to start getting back into things.

As someone who also does not prepare myself every year I'll say it comes back quick once you go a few times. You're gonna be sore for a bit but honestly it's not too bad!

Here’s something that can help you go swimming when the weather gets nicer out or indoor pool. If you can’t swim well just get a life jacket and teach yourself how that’s my opinion at least.

It's definitely pretty physically taxing. I go up a few times a year usually and the soreness the day after is always really good for reminding me of all the little muscle groups I've forgotten about xD.

folfynimbus.bsky.social•52 days ago

I actually just got into it last month and YUP. I don't think it matters if you're in shape or not, because you're gonna be hitting neglected muscle groups and leaving the slopes with a few aches anyway, so definitely go for it!

usagi.social•51 days ago

I was exactly in the same thoughts as you two years ago! I’m glad I decided to just jump into it (no pun intended) and work with my skills :3 Now I’m snowboarding regularly, and tbh, require much less physical effort once you get hang of the right techniques!

dden009.bsky.social•51 days ago

reading this is a huge relief!!

usagi.social•51 days ago

Great! My best suggestion is just take a day at your own pace and just do it :3 And getting out there in the snow is really nice~ This is from the slopes today! ☀️

streetcatcyd.bsky.social•52 days ago

Do it!! I picked up Skateboarding again after 8yrs, I’m out of shape but having fun

mosspond.design•52 days ago

Its not too terrible to restart!! I think if you were at the point where you picked up carving (heel toe transfer), you’ll find your rhythm again quick. it’s also not as taxing on your hamstrings as sliding down on one edge lol

dden009.bsky.social•52 days ago

I went as far as doing a falling leaf on the learner slope if i remember right 😅 ill deff give it a try soon, gonna suffer for a bit but worth

mosspond.design•51 days ago

Ohh yeah that’ll definitely be rough on your hammies! But you’re so close to the point where things get real comfortable. You can do it! :)

mosspond.design•52 days ago

Signed, someone who goes once every couple years and is a big couch potato lol

gmnchampion.bsky.social•52 days ago

Better than me. Haven't skied in ~15 years so I know my shins and ankles would be hurting if I went back onto the slopes.

Kind of miss doing the black diamond slopes except for the ice patches

dden009.bsky.social•52 days ago

I never got to do anything more advanced as i was learning but i adored just doing a falling leaf here and there! And just being up the mountain is 🔥🔥🔥

gmnchampion.bsky.social•52 days ago

I had to warm up my skill level but my parents loved to travel so I got to ski every year basically from when I was 8 to 13. By that point I was able to speed down the mountain and even try tricks although I don't recommend that
