Ski and Snowboard Conditioning

Tom Wigginton • October 28, 2010

Several inches of snow have fallen all over the high-country this week and Loveland and Arapahoe Basin are already open for business! If you plan on skiing this winter, our Ski and Snowboard Conditioning Program will get you ready for your best ski season ever.


Our 6-week program is targeted at the skier/rider who wants to progress from Blue Groomers to Black Steeps or from Black Diamonds to the Extreme.


The customized program is designed to increase athleticism for slope-side performance by focusing on the unique demands of skiing and snowboarding. The program has a two phased approach to training: 1) Individual Functional Movement Screens to identify your specific movement deficiencies and structure a corrective exercise strategy, 2) Dynamic and challenging small group workouts that focus on:


  • Improving strength and endurance. Ski for a whole weekend and take fewer breaks! Lift tickets are expensive, don’t waste your days in the lodge. Pound the moguls — don’t let them pound you.
  • Building core power. Make better turns, improve posture, reduce fatigue, take control of the terrain.
  • Reducing risk of injury. Strengthen back, knees, shoulders and hips — key stress points that often lead to painful, costly and season-ending injuries.


Sessions meet twice weekly: Workout #1 on Wednesday or Thursday evenings and Workout #2 on Saturday mornings. Complete program consists of 1 assessment and introduction plus 12 small group workouts. Group size limited to 4 per hour. Price $400 for 13 sessions.


Sessions begin on November 3rd, 2010 and can be started any Wednesday or Thursday through January.

How Vitruvian’s new partnership with DexaFit Denver helps you fight bone loss, build muscle, and personalize your fitness – starting with real data. Vitruvian Fitness has partnered with DexaFit Denver to bring you three powerful tools for assessing and improving your health: the DEXA Scan , VO₂ Max Test , and Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) Test . These aren’t gimmicks – they’re scientifically backed ways to track meaningful progress in your training. If you're in your 40s, 50s, or 60s, you're at a turning point where training isn’t just about looking better – it’s about aging better . As the saying goes, “What gets measured gets managed.” And just because that’s a relic from my corporate past doesn’t make it any less true. Like your annual bloodwork, these tests give you a snapshot of important health markers that offer direction, motivation, and a baseline to measure progress against. Here’s what each test measures: DEXA Scan – bone density, lean body mass, and visceral fat VO₂ Max Test – cardiovascular fitness and aerobic efficiency Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR) – how many calories you burn at rest (your metabolic baseline)
