#165: Mobility Duo - Strength Training for Snowboarding & the True Benefits of Fitness

Mark & Sarah (@mobilityduo) are a husband and wife team who are health professionals, snowboarders, and lovers of all things outdoors. Mark is a physical therapist, snowboard instructor, and personal trainer and Sarah is a massage therapist, yoga teacher, and personal trainer. Putting their brains, hearts, talents and expertise together, they are Mobility Duo. They offer a number of courses and programs as well as individual coaching to help prevent injuries, assist with rehabilitation of injuries, and keep snowboarders and outdoor enthusiasts active until 70+!

Since I picked up snowboarding 2 winters ago I’ve completely fallen in love with it. First of all, it’s awesome (although, I probably don’t look that cool doing it… yet!). Second, it’s a completely new physical challenge to figure out and overcome. If you’re a longtime listener of the podcast you know that I’ve struggled with injuries my entire life, so naturally as I took up snowboarding I automatically went into injury prevention mode. This is how I found Mark & Sarah. 

This episode is filled with practical tips to add to your training during the off-season or even in season to keep you riding better, more comfortably, and for longer. The same principals in this discussion really apply to any sport or physical activity you do. 

Naturally as things tend to around here, the conversation morphs into something bigger than fitness. Yes all of the training stuff is super important to keep you riding, playing and doing the things you love. But we all inherently know it’s about so much more than that. When you fully embrace this, everything starts to make more sense with training, and everything will become more effective. 

It was an absolute pleasure to have Mark & Sarah on the podcast, I learned a ton and I’m sure you will too. If you snowboard, or play any sports or outdoor activities you absolutely should be following them. And please check out their website for some of their programs just as Snoga (yoga for snowboarders), core workouts, knee and warmup programs, concussion foundations and more.
