This exercise is a timed, static exercise that develops the isometric strength of the core, with specific emphasis on the anterior (front) chain of the body, in particular the abdomen. Doing this exercise before ski/snowboarding season will help protect the lower back from shock while skiing/riding different types of terrain. Do 1-3 sets until fatigue (typically 15 seconds, building up to 2 minutes). Note: please consult your physician before beginning any new form of exercise.
