Resolved Question What do I need to be able to do athletically to snowboard? Hey, all. I'm going to try to go up with some friends next month to try out snowboarding. Pretty stoked, ha. I've been reading though and it says the muscles used are thigh, stomach and a high level of cardio endurance. My only problem with that is I definatley don't have the cardio. I'm a bit of a muscle builder, I just don't cut fat by doing cardio, so I'm really strong, I just can't keep that pace up. I can squat right under 320 lbs, so I think I'm fine for thighs. I also have a lot of upper body bulk, quite a bit of fat in the stomach area, no cardio, so the fat built up, but really strong muscles underneath. I can do like 55 sit ups in a minute. So, like I said I should be good for those. My cardio, sadly, is pitiful. I probably, make that most likely, would not clear a mile in under 10 minutes. Should I really work on that in the next month? Is it really that important? Basically, any snow boarders out there, should I be able to keep up with two average fit guys? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker I'll make this short and sweet. I used to live in Colorado, right next to Brekenridge. I'm tiny... Honestly. I'm 6'1, and 142 lbs.
