If you’ve been sleepin’ on your pre-season prep but not trynnna blow your back or ACL this season…….I’ve got you👊🏻 LAST CALL is my NEW 4 week pre-season training program designed for skiers and snowboarders who need a quick & effective hit of strength, power, and durability before the season kicks off!🤘🏻❄️ The time is now my friends! Choose your start date and GET AFTER IT! Drop In - 🔗 in bio #preseasonprep #skiprep #snowboardprep #skiing #snowboarding #shredtillyadead #skiexercises #snowboardexercises

Training does not have to be complicated..but it does need to get done. If you are slackin’ on pre-season prep and have no idea where to start….send me the word SHRED and I’ll help you out based on your projected opening day. Step ups are a super simple way to build the strength you need to support your backcountry pursuits. No one wants to be sloggin’ along in the back of the pack with knee pain. Its a major bummer. Put in the work NOW so you can feel good when the snow hits. Time IS of the essence. The STEADY TRACKS Circuit: 🔥30 seconds alternating step ups 🔥30 seconds REST Repeat 4-8x Coaching Notes: •Weight can be added, but keep it under 30% of your bodyweight. •Add a contralateral weight (asymetrical load) in your opposite hand to challenge your single leg stability. •Performance training is not the same as crossfit. Focus on quality of movement as opposed to quantity. •This can be used as a stand alone session OR add it to the back end of a workout so you can push endurance under fatigue. •If you experience sharp pain with step ups, try a lower box height. If pain persists, seek out a PT or other professional to address underlying issues✌🏻 #backcountryskiing #backcountrysnowboarding #backcountryskiprep #shredtillyadead

If you are looking to throw some more flavor into the mix……..get after it💀

You’re either going to be ready to rip or you’re not!💀 Pre-season training is where the real grind happens. But it’s the difference between having an epic season or a shitty one. If you live to ski or snowboard in the winter…why risk it? You can’t push limits (or have fun) on weak muscles🤷🏻‍♀️ Training for the 24/25’ season kicks off TOMORROW - enrollment closes in 24 hours. Join the rest of the crew (or train solo) as we crush 8 weeks of progressive training that includes: 🔥Strength 🔥Power 🔥Lower Body Endurance 🔥Body Control 🔥Mobility Bulletproof your body against injury & feel confident in your ability to rip hard from day 1🚀 💀Drop “SHRED” in the DMs for more info or tap the link in my bio to learn more! Get ready to crush! We goin’ all in.@ #preseasontraining #shred #skitraining #snowboardtraining #shredtillyadead

🔥48 HOURS LEFT TO ENROLL🔥 Get in, we goin’ to the top💀 Comment or DM the word SHRED for more info or head to the 🔗 in my bio to enroll✌🏻 @mtnedgeperformance >>>>>>

Peep behind the scenes👀 This is exactly what it looks like on the other side of the STS program. Structured programming delivered via an app that allows you to train where you want and when you want. Even though I could write training sessions in my sleep, even I get mental fatigue trying to figure out what to do for the day if Im in between programs. Usually the downfall with that is I only do what I WANT to do, not what I really NEED to be doing🤷🏻‍♀️ cough👀copenhagen planks…… Happens to the best of us. But I’ll tell you this. Training doesnt have to be complex or confusing. It SHOULD however, be effective. Every exercise comes with a complete demo video and coaching cues, so you’re always confident in your movements. Plus, when you join the STS Specialized crew, you can get coaching feedback within 48 hours so you stay progressing, no matter your training experience. Interested in learning more about pre-season training? DM the word SHRED & I’ll send ya all the info👊🏻

Warning: This one’s a real BURNER!🔥🔥 Ya gotta be willing to dig deep. Capacity work is a key part of all my pre-season training programs. If you’ve trained with me before, you know what’s coming!😝 It’s really a love/hate relationship. These workouts are TOUGH, but they will definitely build your legs’ ability to handle long days on the snow without fatigue or debilitating quad burn holding you back. We can train these abilities now to be ready when the snow hits, or we can suffer and struggle later…specifically on those pristine pow days when it counts the most! The choice is yours! This circuit will be included in the STS program and will progressively load each week to ensure you’re building stamina, strength, and explosive power effectively. THE GRIND💀CAPACITY CIRCUIT 🔥 30 second split squat isometric hold 🔥 5 Loaded Goblet Squats @ 20-40% BW 🔥 10 FAST Bodyweight Prisoner Squats 🔥 5 Explosive Lunge Jumps Per Side REST 30-60 seconds & REPEAT 4-8x💀 Want more sessions like these to prepare for the upcoming season?

🚨PHYSICAL READINESS🚨 Theres a reason injury rates spike 30-50% at the start of the season. The body doesnt do too great if you shock it into high impact activities without proper prep💀 If you plan on skiing or snowboarding this season- you should probably think about training for the demands you’ll encounter on the snow. Your body will thank you later✌🏻 Photo Cred: Milady De Winter #skiing #snowboarding #shredtillyadead

Currently summoning the snow gods💀

NO MORE RANDOM WORKOUTS. No more pain & injuries holding you back. No more MF “im just too old” excuses. I got you👊🏻 Give me 8 weeks and Ill make sure your body is set up to SHRED. Build strength, power, endurance, durability, & the capacity to handle big days in the mountains. This kind of programming is what Ive used to help hundreds of skiers and riders prep for the winter season to get strong & prevent injuries. Longevity is where its at my friends. Train with the STS crew & choose from specialized training disciplines to get yourself LOCKED IN for the upcoming season: 🔥All-Mountain 🔥Freestyle 🔥Backcountry/Freeride OR Train on your own and get ready to crush general downhill pursuits! 🔗 in bio to join the stoke.

Another reason to throw out the crunches💀 Our spines undergo a LOT of forces when ripping downhill, stomping landings, hitting moguls, ect. Has your back ever been sore after a big day on the mountain? Its probably your spinal stabilizers tellin you they’ve put in the work. We can train these muscles to be stronger & more resilient towards the type of impact forces we encounter on the snow through movements like: 🔥Deadlifts 🔥Dead Bugs 🔥Side Planks 🔥Box Drops 🔥Overhead Marches 🔥Bird Dog Rows 🔥Gorilla Rows the list goes on. You know what doesnt challenge your spinal strength & stability? Crunches ❌❌❌❌❌❌❌ If you dont want back pain holding you back this season, these are a must! Save for later or tag a homie who is always tapping out early due to back pain😜 #skiexercises #snowboardexercises #skitraining #snowboardtraining #shredtillyadead

So many people don’t realize how to train effectively for the ski and snowboard season, and I see it all too often—hard work that ends in pain or injury. 😩 That’s why I created the Strength to Shred program. I want high-quality training to be ACCESSIBLE to EVERYONE, no matter where you are in the world. With 5 days of targeted programming built into an app, you’ll be set up to progress without burning out as you prep for an epic winter.

🔥Force Absorption Training🔥 You want to stomp landings, rip downhill, and carve hard with confidence this winter. But are your knees ready for it?💀 Force absorption training should be a staple in your pre-season prep if you want to prevent knee injuries & shred pain-free this season. Drills like snap downs and box drops can help you: 🔥Charge hard & feel confident your knees can handle heavy landings or steep descents. 🔥Reduce your risk of ACL & other season ending injuries. 🔥Improve your ability to react quicckly to changes in terrain or landing conditions - reducing the risk of falls. 🔥Build explosive strength in the legs & muscles that support your knee like the quads, hams, glutes, and calves. After hitting drills like these in the months leading up to the ski & snowboard season, I notice I feel more confidnet sending bigger features bc Im not worried about my knees collapsing underneath me. If feels so damn good to stomp landings & rip hard without the fear of injury or pain holding you back. Snaps & drops will be strategically implemented into my pre-season training program, Strength To Shred. Enrollment opens this Sunday🤘🏻 🔗 in bio for more details.

Today marks day 1 of the Shred Prep Challenge & we are focusing on MOBILITY training💀 Mobility is often overlooked, but it’s one of the most crucial aspects of preparing for the upcoming season. When our range of motion is limited, we’re more prone to injuries—and aint nobody got time for that shit. That’s exactly why I’ll be including two mobility sessions every week into my upcoming Strength To Shred pre-season training program. Mobility training helps us: 🔥Improve our range of motion & get out of that “Im too stiff to do this” feeling. 🔥Reduce the risk of sprains, strains, and other injuries 🔥Recover faster from training sessions & days on the snow. 🔥Enhance our balance and coordination. 🔥Feel supple & CAPABLE. I’ve heard many people say mobility has changed their lives. I dont take these comments lightly. I know how much of an impact it has on the human body and I want you to experience it for yourself. If you want to see how mobility work can impact your body this winter, check out my upcoming STS program. 🔗 in bio for the details🤘🏻 📸 @dirkbadenhorst

I hear this all the time... “I blew my ACL last season and didn’t get to ride. It sucked.” “My knee is still unstable from a previous ACL injury.” “I tore my ACL last season and do NOT want to go through that again.” “I feel like I can’t ski at full capacity because I’m worried about injuring my knee again.” If you’ve ever been injured during the winter, you know it sucks. Committing to just 8 weeks of pre-season training can have a PROFOUND impact on the way your season plays out. Research shows that multi-component preventative training programs can reduce ACL injuries by up to 75% if performed 2-3x/week beginning in pre-season. What does an effective preventative training plan include? 🔥Strength 🔥Plyometrics 🔥Balance & Proprioception 🔥Landing Mechanics 🔥Mobility 🔥Agility & Reactivity 🔥Neuromuscular Training 🔥Sport Specific Skills I’ve put all of these elements into my upcoming pre-season training program Strength To Shred (STS) to help you prevent season ending injuries and have an epic season from start to finish. We start training on October 7th. Interested in joining us? Head to the link in my bio for more info. WINTER IS COMING💀 Sources: [Darin A Padua, PhD, ATC*; Lindsey J.

Over the last 10 years, I’ve coached hundreds of skiers and snowboarders both online and in person. I’ve been lucky enough to work with both recreational & competitive skiers & snowboarders in disciplines such as: •slopestyle •big mountain •freestyle •boardercross •cross country •ski mountaineering •super-g •giant slalom •backcountry •ski jumping My training programs are efficient, sport specific, backed by science, and backed by CULTURE. There’s a lot of bull-shit on the internet these days. This is exactly WHY I started Mtn Edge Performance in the first place. To give skiers & snowboarders the actual tools they need to get strong, push progression, & build resiliency against pain & injuries. Team #shredtillyadead 🤘🏻

Im beyond grateful for all the rad people I’ve met over the last few years through the STS program. I wanted to highlight a few messages that continue to inspire me to do what I do every damn day. Building a community of resilient AF shredders has been a long time goal of mine and im always incredibly inspired by every single one of you. I love seeing the progression from pre-season training to absolute shred monsters on the snow. Seeing everyone get after it, whether thats through comps, big pursuits, or just L I V I N’ is everything to me. Im so proud & grateful to be your coach🫶🏻 The Shred Prep Challenge starts 1 week from today! and yes, its freeeee99.

🚨WE START IN 2 WEEKS🚨 If you’ve ever had an injury hold you back from being able to rip hard on the snow, you know how much it sucks🤬 I know, Ive been there. HOWEVER, we can significantly reduce the risk of that happening if we PUT IN THE WORK through pre-season training. A review of multiple studies found that regular strength training helps improve muscle strength & joint stability, which SIGNIFICANTLY lowers the chance of injury. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want to feel held back on the snow this season due to fear of injury. I want a strong, durable body that can withstand the demands of how I ride. I want knees that can handle heavy landings, and a back thats not going to break on a pow day. If you are in the same boat, head to the 🔗 in my bio and get on the waitlist for my 8 week pre-season Strength To Shred (STS) training program. Although we cant prevent all injuries, we CAN control how our bodies are built going into the upcoming 24/25’ season. Train Hard Now.

Let’s talk KNEEZ💀 Those things are PRECIOUS. They help you stomp landings, rip downhill, and jib off side hits. They can help you be a poppy, floaty, charging, well-oiled BEAST on the snow. On the flip side, they can seriously hold you back if you experience pain, instability, or injury. I’ve dealt with 2 MCL sprains over the last 5 years due to taking hard hits on the snow & concrete. Shit happens. There ARE things we cannot control. However, we CAN control how our body is built up going into the winter season. These are some of the elements I put into my pre-season training program, Strength To Shred (STS). Science-backed training elements that build durability through the knees so you can charge hard without having to worry if your knees can hang. Building strength, power, and body control directly translates to better performance & confidence on the snow. So you’ll be able to send that line you’ve always wanted feeling confident in your body’s capabilities. We are T-minus 3 weeks out from starting pre-season training. Learn more via the 🔗 in my bio.

What if instead of focusing on obstacles, we focused on opportunities. What if instead of concentrating on our limitations, we got curious about what we could be capable of? What if we took initiative instead of waiting for things to happen? What if we used our failures & setbacks as learning experiences? What if we celebrated the small wins instead of brushing them off? What if we believed our abilities could be changed or enhanced through dedicated effort? What if we explored beyond our current comfort zone? Your thoughts become your actions. Your actions become your reality 💭Where are your thoughts? 📸 @dirkbadenhorst

Raw. S T A B I L I T Y. Work. Stability training focuses on improving balance, coordination, and body control. Think about it as fine tuning your body. The number one thing I see when working with athletes is a deficit in both hip and knee stability - which can significantly increase your risk of knee specific sprains, strains, and tears🥵 Try adding 2 of these stability movements into your next training session to strengthen your knees and reduce the risk of season ending injuries this winter! Stability Exercises: 🔥Single Leg Ball Slam 🔥Lunge Twist 🔥Lateral Bound 🔥RDL Drop 🔥Reactive Bound Stick (increase power output witu each rep) 🔥Snap Down 🔥Wall Supported Airplane Lets get to work! #kneestability #stabilitytraining #stabilityexercises #singlelegstability #skiexercises #snowboardexercises ##skitraining #snowboardtraining #shredtillyadead

Still training 3 sets of 12?💀 I often see people hitting high reps (10-15) for strength work. I don’t recommend this if you are tryna build strength for the upcoming season. Why? High reps are a great way to build work capacity & muscle endurance, which we need to handle big lines & full days in the mountains. HOWEVER, when it comes to building raw strength, you need to stick to low reps. Why I prefer low rep training (2-8) to build strength👇🏻 🔥 MAX STRENGTH Shredding requires a LOT of force production, especially for things like powerful turns, control in varied terrain, jumps, spins, pow lines, ect. Training high effort lifts in the 2-8 range allows you to generate the high levels of force needed for both skiing and riding. 🔥POWER DEVELOPMENT Low rep strength training w heavy weight enhances POWER. Think strength with SPEED. This allows skiers and snowboarders to execute quick, explosive movements needed while ripping downhill. 🔥CORE STABILITY You don’t need more sit ups to build core strength. You need to lift heavy. Lifting low rep, heavier weights BUILDS core stability AND lower body strength which is needed to maintain technique & balance on the snow. 🔥INJURY PREVENTION High effort, low rep strength work builds stronger muscles, ligaments, and tendons that can withstand the impact of skiing & riding. This means less risk of strains, sprains, and other injuries. There’s a time and place for strength AND endurance/capacity work. Knowing how & when to implement them is key. Learn how to train both effectively & efficiently for the winter season by joining my upcoming FREE shred prep challenge (🔗 in bio) starting Sept 23rd. Skiers & snowboarders of all backgrounds & disciplines are WELCOME to join🤘🏻 #skiing #snowboarding #skitraining #snowboardtraining #skiexercises #snowboardexercises

I am SUPER excited to announce that the 24/25’ STS pre-season training program will kick off October 7th❄️ If you are here, it probably means you like to do rad shit in the mountains. Me too✌🏻 This is exactly why I created the Strength To Shred (STS) program. This annual pre-season training program is built for skiers and snowboarders who want to get strong, rip hard, and shred pain free this winter. Y’all should already know I dont do cookie cutter training programs, which is why I’ve created 3 specialized disciplines of training so you can train how you ski/ride on the snow. 100% transferrable. This year, you’ll be able to choose from the following disciplines: •All Mountain (for the guns blazin’ resort rippers) •Freeride|Freestyle (for the pow slashin’ slayers who also like to jump, jibs, and spin) •Backcountry (for the type 2 fun seekers who spend a lot of time pushing uphill & searching for high alpine pursuits) Just like you choose your gear, you’ll be able to choose a training program that fits YOU. Your style, your needs, your frame of mind. If you want to take your skiing/riding to the next level while staying injury free this winter, this is it. Program will drop first to those on the waitlist! If ya want to stay up to date & receive exclusive discounts, head to the link in my bio (STS program) to sign up! WINTER. IS. COMING. #skiing #snowboarding #skiprep #snowboardprep #skitraining #snowboardtraining #skiexercises #snowboardexercises #shredtillyadead

Famous words by the legendary Wilma Rudolph Happy Sunday Fam. Keep Going👊🏻

WINTER. IS. COMING. and its time to get hype💸 Where are you planning to ski/ride this winter? I’ll be rampin’ around @brightonresort and exploring more backcountry spots in the Wasatch. Plus maybe a CANADA trip👀 Got any trips brewing in the mind yet? Whats your home spot? Let me know in the comments!! #skiing #snowboarding #shredtillyadead

Ankle Sprains 💀 Instability All you go-getter mountain athletes, SAVE THIS! We used to think ICE and REST was the best way to recover from a sprained ankle. We now know that this actually delays the healing process👎🏻 Movement early on and pain-free standing stability work is your best bet to getting back out there ASAP. As you continue to EXPLORE your capacity for pain-free movements, start to challenge your stability on both stable and unstable surfaces. If you don’t follow through on the full rehab process, your risk of reinjury skyrockets, and you’ll most likely have problems pop up later down the line. You don’t want to return to sport after an ankle injury feeling timid and scared. You should want to go out there feeling confident in your capabilities and READY to GET AFTER IT. That being said, take the time to rehab your shit right the first time around. A few movements I like to use when helping athletes either rehab an ankle sprain or just build durability through the ankle joint all together. FIRST >>>Focus On Balance & Neuromuscular Control •Lateral Steps On Foam Pad —Increase Distance Or Height As You Progress •SL RDL Throw •SL Multi-Directional Reaches End Stage: Focus On Strength, Plyometrics, Force Development •Pogos (both legs and single leg) •BIG effort lateral bounds •Double & Single Leg Depth Drop & Jumps This is by no means a comprehensive recovery plan.

FEED YOUR SOUL⚡️ Training over the last 2 months with the Mtn Ambition program has built to this. The ability to get after whatever I want in the mountains, feeling strong, without being in pain, or feeling crushed afterwards. I’m not competing this summer, or trying to be the fastest. I’m here to take pics of the flowers, stare into the expanse, feel good in my body, & be capable of doing what I love to do. I think it is so so necessary to step back from training to enjoy the scenery & the ground beneath your feet, especially if you are putting in solid work consistently over time. 1. Work Hard 2. Rest 3. Play 4. Repeat For most Mtn Edge athletes, that means taking the month of July or August off from structured training to go ALL IN on their summer pursuits. This is a long term strategy to prevent overtraining & burnout - so we can come back in the fall, ready to put in the work for pre-season ski/ride prep. That being said….. Do the work, and then enjoy that shit✌🏻 Happy Sunday crew🫶🏻

SHOES OFF, LETS GOooOoOo👣 If you want to improve both your knee AND ankle stability, train barefoot. Why? 🚀Your mind body connection will sky-rocket. Think about this as a heightened state of body & mind. By improving sensory feedback from joints, muscles, and tendons, you’ll be able to optimize muscle recruitment & body control. Think more strength, stability, coordination, and P O W E R. 🚀You’ll improve your foot mechanics. Shoes - some more than others - can interfere with how our feet interact with the ground, since cushiony shoes blunt our sensory feedback. By taking them off, alignment throughout the entire kinetic chain (foot, ankle, knee, hip) will improve. When you focus on stability, you’ll soon learn that your strength & power capabilities turn next level. Stability is rooted in everything. So. That being said, did you try it yet? How did your knees feel?

Here’s what you need to know before trying yet another random exercise set from Instagram. That shit won’t get you far🤷🏻‍♀️ Why? The body is a bit more complex than that. Periodized training is a structured approach I use in ALL of my programming. On a basic level, it’s a systematic method of organzing workouts over time. WHY is this so important?! ⚡️It allows us to peak for our seasonal goals. I dont know about you, but Im not tryna be in the gym 24/7 right now. I want to be OUT playing in the mountains & feeling damn good while doing it. I take this same approach for ski/ride prep - work hard in the fall and then ENJOY the winter. ⚡️It reduces risk of injury & burnout. Periodization incorporates planned recovery periods between phases. This allows our mind, body, and soul to rejuvenate. Without it, burnout & overuse injuries skyrocket. ⚡️Its TIME EFFICIENT We don’t spend excessive time in the gym OR waste time on random workouts. No one has time for that shit. ⚡️Allows for consistent progress Ask any one of my athletes who trains consistently over at least a 3 month time period. We are all hitting new PR’s in different capacities. If your current training has no strategy in place, you could be heading down a dark path. You aren’t supposed to know how to do all of this. But no worries, I got you. If you are looking for a program that will lay the groundwork for consistent progress & injury prevention, check out my current DIY programs (link in bio). Looking for a more personalized approach as you return from injury? Hit me up✌🏻 Im now accepting remote coaching applications for September -aka ski/ride prep for the 24/25’ season. Cheers to training so you can feel good & have more fun🤘🏻

Phase 3: PRIMETIME The BEST phase of all. The Mtn Ambition Crew is currently in week 10/12 of their 3 month training block. The focus: GET OUTSIDE & DO COOL SHIT⚡️ During this time, training in the “gym” tapers off and going out to do more hiking, trail running, mtn biking, mountaineering, and other rad stuff skyrockets. Training low volume and focusing on both power & reactive strength during this last phase allows us to stay snappy on the trails, without unnecessary fatigue. Cheers to everyone getting after it🤘🏻

THE SECRET SAUCE👇🏻 but first….the story. Last week I had many Mtn Edge athletes coming back from deload week (more on that in a sec). Here’s some of the messages I got: ⚡️I feel freaking AMAZING!! ⚡️My VO2 max has 🚀 ⚡️I set a new PR!! ⚡️Felt STRONG AF on all my lifts! ⚡️I felt wayy more responsive while trail running. ⚡️I feel more confident to try heavier weights. ⚡️Im feeling PUMPED to finish this last block of training! This my friends, is the power of strategic rest, and its the secret to long term success both from a performance perspective & overall well-being. We don’t need to be training hard AF all the time. That is a recipe for injury & burnout. Strategic work & rest is the secret recipe. After staying consistent & pushing hard with progressive overload for 3-5 weeks, taking a deload week is crucial for both your nervous system & body to adapt to the stress of training. If you skip this, bad things tend to happen💀 What is a deload? A period of time when you pull back on the overall volume of your training & focus on rest & recovery. Athletes who put in the work & respect their rest should see new PR’s after each training block - and feel like a motherfucking machine while doing it. What questions do you have about deloading?! Drop your questions in the comments🤘🏻

Climb steep terrain with CONFIDENCE⚡️ < &gt; Hill intervals are a great way to get stronger when climbing uphill. If you want to crush some elevation this summer like a BO$$, these will get you there. And the cool thing? You only need to hit intervals 1x/week in order to see some serious 🫁 gainz. You can do these hiking, trail running, or mountain biking - the key is changing your INTENSITY. Want more FREE interval workouts to elevate your speed, power, and stamina? Just comment the word POWER and I’ll hook it up🤘🏻 #trailrunning #hiking #trailintervals&lt;/div&gt; &lt;a class="caption-button dmWidget displayNone clearfix" href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/C87jlJYPWQT/" target="_blank"&gt; &lt;span class="iconBg" dmle_generated="true"&gt; &lt;span class="icon hasFontIcon icon-star" dmle_dont_remove="true" dmle_generated="true"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;span class="text"&gt;Button&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/a&gt; &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/li&gt;

I got this question the other day in my DMs….. “Did you go to school for all of this or did you just learn it on your own?” 💀 A brief overview of my journey so far👇🏻 ⚡️B.S. in Exercise Science (JMU🐾) ⚡️C.S.C.S. (certified strength & conditoning specialist) ⚡️7 years teaching on snow ⚡️10 years coaching skiers & snowboarders from recreational to professional athletes ⚡️years teaching classes & working 1:1 with all kinds of athletes ⚡️years coaching & managing a sports performance facility ⚡️Endless hours of conferences, workshops, and learning from leaders in the industry ⚡️26 years skiing, 15 years snowboarding (yes i rip on both sides) I started Mtn Edge Performance in 2020 out of a need to bring REALISTIC training strategies into the lives of people who love to get after it in the mountains. Whenever I looked online for ski/snowboard specific strength training, I would see articles about doing bodyweight squats, burpees, and lunges🤯 I knew the ski & snowboard community deserved more, even if people didnt realize they needed this type of training yet. It was mostly just…burn your shit to the ground, do the same thing bodybuilders do, or dont train at all. My goal has always been to show the ski, snowboard, & mtn athlete community that training for skiing, snowboarding, and summer mtn pursuits doesn’t have to be complicated, but it is unique. Its on its own damn level. Not everyone is willing to put in this kind of work & dedication to themselves, but if we want our bodies to continue working like well-oiled machines on & off the snow, its necessary. Training has the power to: ✅Keep you shreddin’ till you’re 100 years old ✅Allow you to push progression as you age@ ✅Limit devastating injuries ✅Eliminate the pain that holds you back ✅Empower you to try new things ✅Make you feel like a MF power-house ✅Support mental health & well-being ✅Help you feel better in your body the list goes on. Im happy to serve up the knowledge that Ive gained from so many other people alongside my own experiences over the last 15 years. If you want to train with someone who “gets it” - and has more than a weekend “degree” I’ve got your back👊🏻

Here’s the truth👇🏻 I think we all KNOW that progress isn’t always linear, but we need to be REMINDED of this often, ESPECIALLY when moving through tough times. The reality is, REAL progression is never a straight line. ⚡️Your rehab process is taking forever. ⚡️Your performance measures aren’t where you thought they would be at this time of year. ⚡️You fear you will never be pain-free again. ⚡️You’ve gotten “off track” with your training. ⚡️You just got setback due to a “silly” injury. Whatever it is, you have 2 choices: ❌Give up ✅Keep Going Making progress is MESSY, despite what you might see on social media. The key to trending upwards? KEEP GOING - despite your setbacks. What’s better than no progress? SLOW progress. That shit adds up y’all. Next time you find yourself struggling, understand that setbacks are NORMAL. Its all about: ⚡️Getting back at it as soon as you can. ⚡️Ditching the all of nothing mindset - SLOW progress IS progress (and it builds momentum) ⚡️Becoming more AWARE of your progress & wins, no matter how small. ⚡️Understanding goals CAN change, and thats ok. ⚡️Keeping your big picture in mind. ⚡️Acknowledging that progress is not linear. ⚡️Reaching out for help when you need it. Feeling stuck? Reach out. YOU👏🏻GOT👏🏻THIS👏🏻 Keep Going🤘🏻 🧗‍♀️ @functionalfitnesswithmiranda

daydreams from last szn💭

“It’s not about motivation, it’s about connecting to what matters” Famous words by performance psychologist Jonah Oliver💀 Years ago as a strength & conditioning intern, I had a coach ask me “why” I wanted to be in this cut throat profession. Waking up at 4am everyday, coaching for hours on end, getting paid nothing. I had a few weak answers. He told me I wouldnt last very long if I couldn’t come up with something more than that. This forced me to really sit down and dig into myself, and it’s something I often challenge my athletes to do as well. At the end of the day, if we don’t connect to the reason “why” we are putting in the work, our progression won’t be sustainable. Understanding this and taking the time to dig under the surface is key to success. Motivation WILL dwindle, esp with life changes, work, stress, ect. being pulled into the mix. Relying on motivation is a recipe for failure. Try being disciplined instead👇🏻 1. Establish your goals (short & long term) and PRIORITIZE that shit. If the goal isnt important to YOU, it wont be a priority. 2. Create habits & routines. 3. Track progress & celebrate the small wins. Progress is not always linear but if you lean into the process, it will come. 4. Make it enjoyable. Yea you gotta get gritty sometimes but if you aren’t enjoying the journey wtf is the point? 5. Make it sustainable. Small steps make the biggest impact over time. Next time shit gets tough and you want to bail, think about your WHY, put on a good headbanger, and think DISCIPLINE>MOTIVATION YEwwwwwwww🤘🏻 #discipline #motivation #disciplineovermotivation #performancepsychology #shredtillyadead

Let’s talk HEAT🌴 Summer is here and so are the high temps. Instead of always harping on the fact that heat is limiting your performance…or vibe, what if we flipped the switch? When our body temps increase, muscles become more elastic, and our fascia actually RELAXES. WTF is fascia? The connective tissues that support every structure in our body. We need that shit to move freely. Healthy fascia should be flexible and stretch WITH you to free up movement. Unhealthy fascia will cause stiffness, pain, & RESTRICT your ability to move freely. Hitting mobility work in the heat can help release stiffness FASTER so you can get back to feeling like a supple panther. So go grab a popsicle, head outside, and move yo body. Today’s Set: 1. Duck Unders 2. Overhead Hip Circle 3. Lateral Flexion Shred on🤘🏻

This is THE #1 exercise for mountain athletes💀 If you aren’t deadlifting you are missing out…BIG time. Deadlifts are QUEEN y’all👑 And if you are a hiker, trail runner, or mountain biker NOT getting after deadlifts, you are missing out on some serious potential. Are you currently hitting deadlifts in your routine? If not, whats stoppin’ ya💀 Get up and go get em. Aint no one have time to be injured or in pain this summer.

Comment “POWER” for FREE interval workouts🔥🔥 Struggling to push higher intensities when climbing uphill? You would benefit from interval training. Feeling SLOW AF & trippin’ over technical terrain? You would benefit from interval training. Already have a solid base of training but still feel like you are missing power & speed? YOU NEED INTERVAL TRAINING. It’s time to say goodbye to feeling sluggish on the trails and HELLO to trailblazing with speed, power, and stamina. I created these interval workouts for hikers, trail runners, and mountain bikers who want to put in the WORK so they can: ✅Climb steeps with confidence. ✅Move through technical terrain like a BOSS. ✅Increase speed & stamina. ✅Transform into a trailblazing powerhouse. These sessions won’t be easy, but they will be worth it. Stick with these sessions for 4-6 weeks and watch your performance take off🚀 Workouts and guidelines included. Just comment the word POWER and I’ll send ya the goodz🤘🏻 #trailblaze #trailrunning #mountainbiking #trailintervals #intervaltraining #hiking #powerhouse

Everyone, Meet Leo🐆 If you’ve been following along for a bit you’ve probably seen my pupper leo (short for leoGNARd) pop up in my stories. But I realized he deserves a whole damn post. 5 years ago we rescued this little butterball from @nuzzlesandco and he’s been rippin’ it up ever since. He prefers being in the mountains, away from people😂, and will do anything for a spoon of peanut butter. His favorite pastimes include eating more peanut butter, bouncing through fields of pow, slashin’ dirt, and rolling in fresh grass. This dude has been the best trail buddy over the last 5 years. He’s always right by my side whether we are pushing trail intervals or just hangin’ out & enjoying the views. SWIPE for puppy pics❤️🧡💚💙🩷🖤

Want to know something crazy💀 Warmups do NOT have to be long OR complicated. They SHOULD be short, effective, and repeatable. C R A Z Y. I know😝 The goal of your warmup should be: 🌿Prep the body to generate force & power. 🌿Fire up the nervous system & increase muscle activation. 🌿Open up stiff joints & muscles. This warmup does all of that in just 3 minutes! The results? ✅Quicker response times on the trail. ✅More power output. ✅Better economy. ✅Less aches & pains! SAVE this one for your next trail outing & SHARE with a homie who’s always complaining about their “aches & pains” Do the work, take care of your body, and GET OUT THERE✌🏻 #trailrunning #hiking #mountainbiking #trailwarmup #trailrunningwarmup #hikingwarmup #mtnbikewarmup #warmup

Phase 2 UNLOCKED⚡️ Mtn Ambition athletes have officially unlocked phase 2: RISE AND GRIND💀 Phase 1 was all about building baseline strength & endurance through the feet, ankles, hips, and core. If these areas aren’t functioning properly, the body cannot absorb downhill forces & shock as they should. As a result, the joints and connective tissue will take a beating in the mountains. Phase 2 is all about building mountain specific endurance, maximizing power output, & improving coordination. We will be grinding hard for 3 weeks, deload, and then enter the blissful prime time phase as we ramp up for a kick ass summer💪🏼 Cheers to getting after it LADIEZ👊🏻YOU CRUSHIN!!

✨JUNE WORKSHOPS✨ I am VERY excited to bring on these bad ass ladies, experts, and CEO’s to share their knowledge with the Mtn Edge crew. As we know, knowledge is P O W E R🚀 Abby & Makayla are both experts in their field AND rad year round mountain athletes. Go give them a follow & check them out! Abby: @skiingabby Makayla: @ownitnutrition These events are open to all Mtn Edge hybrid athletes, TEAM training athletes, 1:1 athletes, and the Mtn Ambition lady crew🤘🏻 No need to register, but get these dates on your calendar! You won’t want to miss this🚀

Are you overtraining? Burnout is at an all time high right now. You gotta be the best & beat the best. But training without strategic recovery comes at a cost. Signs of burnout & overtraining👇🏻 -You cant seem to get quality sleep, wake up around 1-3am, and are tired when you wake up. -You feel moody, irritated, and depressed. -You lack motivation to train or get out to the mountains. -You notice your joints and muscles are always sore or tense. -You keep getting sick. -Your workouts are starting to feel harder than usual. -Youve noticed your performance is tanking. If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or you’ve just been training hard for 3-5 weeks, you need to rest. The body does NOT get stronger until AFTER it recovers. AFTER. Most of the time my athletes come back to me after their first deload week AMAZED at their performance gains and how good they feel. Shit works you guys. HOW TO DELOAD👇🏻 1. Cut training volume (including endurance work) in half. 2. Get out of the gym and go play. 3. Schedule a massage. 4. Schedule leisure time in nature. 5. Hit mobility and joint work to relieve tension through the body. 6. Incorporate deep breathing & meditation to reset the nervous system. Do you schedule regular deload weeks into your training schedule? Whats your go to deload activity? Im currently in a deload phase w the Mtn Ambition crew and it feels lovely. Spending time in nature, getting a massage, reading, hiking, and skating is what i’ll be doing this week to recharge & reset the soul, body, and mind.

This myth SUCKS😝 Ever hear that lifting heavy will make you too bulky or too slow for activities like hiking, trail running, biking, mountaineering, backpacking, ect? Check your source😝 BC ITS BULLSHIT. A 2018 meta-analysis published in the International Journal of Sports Physiology and Performance, found endurance athletes (including trail runners, bikers, cross-country skiers) benefitted from adding a strength training component to their training. It found athletes improved their energy cost of locomotion, maximal power, and maximal strength. Specifically, high weight, low rep sets were found to provide the best performance gains in addition to their mountain focused endurance sessions. New age shit I know. Lifting heavy is a crucial component in not only improving performance & limiting injuries, but it will also enhance your overall ENJOYMENT in all of your mtn pursuits. Plus you’ll be adding lean muscle mass to your body, building stronger ligaments, tendons, AND increasing bone density. Everything you need to truely THRIVE. Want a program that integrates ALL of these components strategically? I just dropped a DIY program you can utilize to help you build strength, endurance, and resiliency for all of your summer mountain pursuits. Beginner & intermediate/advanced options available! 🔗 in bio to snag it >>>>>> @mtnedgeperformance Get STRONG | Slay Mountains

Message Me (dm) instead of commenting for details! IG has locked me out😝 🚨NEVER skip stability work🚨 Especially if you are tryna get after it in the mountains this summer. Training single leg stability promotes strong & healthy joints that allow you to crush uneven mountain terrain, take slams like a BOSS, and prevent a lot of injuries that stem from lack of joint control. Comment the word “GO” and I’ll send you a stability session (with FULL videos & guidelines) you can start implementing right away. After 2-3 weeks, you’ll be feeling like a mtn goat champ. Try it, I dare ya💀 #anklestability #kneestability #mountainstrong #singlelegstability #stabilitytraining # #strength

Today is the ⚡️LAST DAY⚡️ to enroll in the mountain ambition program & join a group of bad ass ladies about to TAKE OFF on their summer goals🚀 I know some of you might be thinking.... Can’t I just hike, bike, or trail run to “prep” for my mountain pursuits this summer? And the answer is, yea, that’s always one option. But, If you want to build strength, endurance, power, and prevent injury for mountain adventres, ya gotttta train differently. Which is exactly why I created the MTN Ambition program..because I’ve seen people try and just “wing it” and these people usually end up: ❌INJURED ❌BURNT OUT ❌UNSUCCESSFUL y’all I see this shit ALL. THE. TIME. and I don’t want that for you this summer. I want you feeling STRONG AF, pain-free, and bustin’ through mountains like a BO$$. I want you LIVIN’ YO BEST LIFE🌈 If you haven’t enrolled yet, doors close TODAY - 🔗 in my profile for all the details. BUT, if you also want a lil secret gift just shoot me a message and I got something for ya 🤗 I’ve received MANY messages from women saying things like: ✨ “I haven’t lifted consistently for 2 years but I want to get back into shape for mountain biking, hiking, and maybe trail running this summer.” ✨”I used to lift and it would always make me feel SO DAMN GOOD on the trails but I’ve fallen out of it. I really need the accountability to get back into a consistent routine.” ✨”I’m training for x trip this summer and really want to make sure my body is strong so I can actually ENJOY the it, not just suffer through it.” THESE thoughts are SO SO common! And your training SHOULD fluctuate throughout the year. But if you have summer goals and plans, it’s time to jump back on the train and do the damn thing. Mountain Ambition WILL NOT BE A WALK IN THE PARK. But I designed it in a way to make it flexible so you can adjust to make it work for YOU. Wherever you are at in your training journey, there is a spot for you in the crew. 🚨Doors close TONIGHT at midnight MST🚨and then I’ll be off with this bad ass group of ladies for the summer! Link in my profile to enroll @mtnedgeperformance

MESSAGE ME (dm) FOR DETAILS🤘🏻 Train for YOUR mountain goals🦅 There’s NOTHING wrong with training for aesthetics. But if your priorities this summer are to hike, mtn bike, trail run, or backpack, you need a different training approach. Most programs out there focus on BODYBUILDING training splits that include high volume movements with a lot of isolation work. That might make your triceps look swanky, but you’ll be wrecked when you get into the mountains. If you want to train to ✅ Get “Mountain” Strong ✅ Prevent Injury ✅ Increase Stamina To Handle More Miles & Bigger Days ANDD you happen to be a rad ass mountain lady, Im inviting you to come join the ✨NEW✨ Mtn Ambition program. This is a 12 week progressive training program designed for women who want to build MOUNTAIN SPECIFIC strength, stamina, and DURABILITY so you can play hard & crush your mountain adventures this summer. There are a few spots left and I would LOVE for you to be apart of the crew. Message me the word GO for a free gift 🎁 and/or head straight to the link in my bio to enroll! @mtnedgeperformance >>>>>>>> Doors close TOMORROW (5/5) @ midnight MST📈 LFGoooooo🤘🏻

CORE TRAINING - a few BIGGIES you’ll see in the Mountain Ambition program starting next week. 1. Dead Bug with a focus on TEMPO throughout the leg lowers. 2. Renegade Row focusing on lifting heavy without rotating the hips. 3. Bird Dog Row which is a HUGE stability challenge as you work to resist both extension & anti-rotation. 4. Plank Pull Throughs with a focus on staying tall through the supporting shoulder as you pull a weight under your chest. #coretaining #corestrength #strengthandconditioning #strengthtraining #mtnstrong #mtnathlete #shredtillyadead

Ahhh I can smell it now🌲 Fresh pines and pure mountain air. A lil clip from the KILLER backpacking trip I took with @halfablast last summer in the Sawtooth Mountains of Idaho.

7 Year ago I woke up from my 2nd wrist surgery. The surgeon came in and said, “It was worse than we thought. You really did some damage. You don’t have much cartilage left.” That was me after pushing through constant pain for 3 years straight. “Don’t expect to be able to do any weight-bearing exercises ever again.” Of course I was crushed, but only for a few minutes. That comment lit a FIRE in me🔥 “I’ll show you.” 2 years into PT and rehab, I was still in pain, weak AF, lacking range of motion, and thought shit, I guess the docs were right. My PT literally told me “Im sorry theres nothing more we can do for you.” I left in tears. Frustrated. Not knowing what was next. I was the weakest Id been in YEARS. But I kept going. Kept learning, seeking help from others, putting in the work. And slowly, it started to improve. Fast forward to today and Im able to do planks & pushups again…even starting to feel better with movements that demand a greater range of motion from the wrist such as chin ups and back squats. I am aware & understand how to adapt my training based on MY needs, and this is exactly what I coach my athletes to do as well. We all start our training journey with history. Its how you adapt & move forward with that history that truely matters. Dont give up. I promise theres a light at the end of the tunnel. You are not too broken & its not too late. Just make sure to have a community to help support you along the way🖤

Join me and a group of bad ass women who are getting: ⚡️Strong AF ⚡️Mobile ⚡️Resilient ⚡️Confident To Play HARD In The Mtns This Summer Each week we will blend strength, power, mobility, and endurance to make sure you are ready to crush your summer mountain goals.

You Slumpin’👀 Ive been there. And i know how fucking FRUSTRATING it can be. But ill tell you this💀 Lack of motivation & consistency doesnt just “happen.” Theres always a REASON behind it. These are the top reasons you might be slumpin’: 1. You have no goals. If you dont know your WHY, whats the point? 2. You have no plan. Structured plans provide motivation & committment. Research has shown that people who receive customized training programs, with ongoing coaching support & encouragement, are more likely to stay motivated & reach their goals. 3. You have an all or nothing mindset. Sometimes you just simply need to DO LESS and be ok with it. Life happens and if you are waiting until the “perfect” time to get in a session, you might not get it in at all. ADAPT & flourish my friends. 4. You are burnt out. The biggest signs of burnout are lack of motivation & constant fatigue. Planning strategic rest periods into your training guarantees you keep motivation levels coasting while staying consistent month to month. If you are constantly unmotivated, lacking consistency, or not seeing results despite your best efforts, you probably need a new approach.  This week, Im enrolling for my brand new (ladies only) Mtn Ambition program - a 12 week strength & endurance program for women who want to PLAY HARD in the mountains this summer😎 Comment the word SUMMER below for more details or head to the 🔗 in my bio to learn all about it. 12 weeks of getting strong AF, staying consistent, and prepping for EPIC summer adventures in the mountains. Im personally excited to prep to slay BIG peaks, crush some downhill mtn biking, ramp around on the trails w my pup, and skate hard this summer. Doors close SUNDAY and then we hit the ground running next week🤸 Would love to have you join the other bad ass ladies who already signed up! Questions about the program? Hit me up. Time to fucking flyyyy. SQUAW🦅 #womensprogram #womensstrengthtraining #womensstrengthprogrogram #womensupportingwomen #sheexplores #getoutside #trailrunning #hiking #mountainbiking #ladieswholift #womeninthewild #letsgetstrongaf

Hard Pills To Swallow💀@# It takes 4-8 weeks to build strength & endurance at a baseline. It takes 1x/week to maintain strength and 2-5x/week to build strength. It takes just 2 weeks to lose cardiovascular fitness after taking time off, and 2-3 weeks off to lose strength. What you do now will have a direct impact on where you end up 2 months from now. Where do you want to be? Keep Going.

Team BUILD the ankles & kneez⚡️ These single leg stability moves are perfect for any mtn athlete. Add these into your training for increased stability, strength, and power in the mountains. STABILITY is a prerequisite for strength & power. If you want to be strong, explosive, and bulletproof, dont sleep on it. Slay on my friends🚀 #anklestability #kneestability #kneestrength #anklestrength #mtnstrong #ankleexercises #kneeexercises #shredtillyadead

APRIL - you were fun🫎 a lil this, a lil that, and matcha ice cream⚡️

What’s been holding you back recently? Let’s chat about it. 1. No one to go with: Be a lone wolf. You can also connect with a community via a local facebook group or those you meet via IG! You just gotta speak up. In Salt Lake City? Lets link up! 2. Being in pain, not able to get out, is a huge bummer. If this is you and you want help to overcome it, reach out. I can help guide you in the right direction. You are not too fucking old. But if you want to keep telling yourself that, well, thats up to you. 3. Feeling weak & constantly out of breath can put a huge downer on any adventure. Believe me, IVE BEEN THERE. Many times. This is exactly why I created Mtn Ambition. To help women prepare for bad ass adventures in the mountains, whether thats hiking, biking, trail running, or backpacking. 4. Snakes, bears, moose? If these things freak you out, learn about em! What are your options if you run into something? How should you react? 5. The friend in this video lent me trail shoes & a running pack for the first 3 years after I stsrted climbing big mountains. Before that I would duct tape my shoes. You don’t need fancy shit to climb mountains. But you should have safety gear and enough food & water..plus some bc nothing usually goes as planned. On the other hand, if we talking mountain bikes ……save up!😂 6. Im personally still working on my nav skills. This video is of my friend and I stuck on the side of the mountain bc our navigating skills were subpar….and we didnt properly plan ahead. Plan your route damnit. Download some offline maps. Do your research. And ASK for help beforehand if you feel unsure! So thankful for friends along the way that have taught me how to plan & navigate! I want to help you feel CAPABLE, prepared for, and STRONG AF when you get into the mountains this summer. Whats a barrier that keeps you from getting out & playing hard?@ Drop a comment, lets talk about it!!!

Have you ever….. Connected with a coach or other practitioner who just didn’t understand what you “actually” do. You get the classic head nod. Ah Yes, skiing. or whatever outdoor thang you do. You can tell they don’t understand the intracacies but dont feel like explaining it because well, they will never truely understand. Ive been there too. In a gym, in the doctor office, at PT. Its been my goal over the last 10 years to BE THAT COACH where people can come to truely connect & train for rad adventures & activities. YES, I specialize in coaching skiers & riders, but Ive worked with hundreds of other bad ass people who also: -Mountain Bike -Trail Run -Hike trails, glaciers, backcountry terrain -Backpack into rad destinations -Skateboard -Explore It is always SO inspiring to hear about the goals & ambitions yall have on your bucket list, and Im just stoked to help you get there. Preferrably feeling strong AF, pain-free, and thriving. If you are new around here, drop a 👋 and let me know what you like to get after, year round. Would love to connect✌🏻

You a year round mtn slayer too? Lets be friends🤗 #sheexplores #mountaingang

Training stability at the foot & ankle translates to higher levels of confidence & capability in the mountains. Although most people focus solely on training for uphill pursuits, ya gotta come back down the mountain. Single leg stability with a focus on deceleration trains the body to absorb impact both with confidence AND efficiency. So you’ll be skippin’ over rocks and through rainbows without having to worry about your ankles snappin’ as you descend.

Ever just go with the flowwww?💀 Its DAY 3 out here for Peak Week and we are straight uo RECOVERING today. Think chill time, sunshine, and MOBILITY FLOWS. Structured mobility work is KEY for working through stiffness & establishing new, usable range of motion. BUT unstructured mobility flows are just as important. Drop into YOUR body, explore areas of restriction, and just go with it. You never know what you might discover🤯 This is always a fun go to flow for me🤗 Try it out and lemmmme know how it goes!

To all the peak baggin’, summit sippin’, trail wondering, outdoor lovin’, adventurous souls out there. The time is now my friends✌🏻 What we do NOW will have a direct impact on how we feel & perform this summer. And I dont know about you, but I want to feel DAMN good in whatever mountain pursuit I decide to get after. If you want to have the fitness to go far, trek pain-free, play hard, and ENJOY your rad ass adventures over the next few months, its time to get consistent with your training again. Its okay if you fell out of your “usual” routine during the ski & snowboard season. Thats totally normal! Training hard should be seasonal. Tomorrow, a group of bad ass ladies & myself will be dropping into PEAK WEEK🎉 This is a 5 day training split meant to challenge your current capabilities, GET CONSISTENT, and learn how to train smarter as a female mountain athlete. By the end of the week, you will have established your current baseline of fitness, come face to face with your strengths & weaknesses, and see what your body (& mind) is capable of. There will be community, accountability, giveaways, and coaching guidance throughout the week. Today’s the last day to sign up, so if you want in, drop a 🚀 in the comments or head to the link in my bio & click on PEAK WEEK to register! See you tomorrow💪🏼

Let me know if this helps! I talk to alot of people who say they feel anxious going into a gym because they have no idea what they should be doing. OR, they feel frustrated because they are putting in the work, but not seeing results from their efforts. This is a simple process you can use to start moving in the right direction. Questions? Let me know in the comments!

I got this message the other day… “what do you think is the MOST important thing to train for someone who hikes & trail runs?” EASY, I said, “THE HIPS” Your hips help to stabilize your spine AND control how you move. Strong hips allow you to move with strength, power, and efficiency. Weak hips set you up for pain & injury. Simple as that. This applies to ALL athletes. Skiers, snowboarders, trail runners,, bikers, hikers, you name it. IF you want to summit peaks this summer feeling strong & pain-free, these are the money moves💸 1. Hip Airplanes 2. Cossack Squats & Lateral Lunge Variations 3. Copenhagens 4. Single Leg Strength 5. Dynamic Single Leg Deceletation Work As always, nothing will move the needle if you aren’t consistent. Add these into your training 2-3x/week and after a few weeks, I guarantee you are going to feel more power & stability on & off the trails. #trailrunning #hiking #hipexercises #hipstability #mountainstrong

Explosive Step Ups Are GOLD🚀 If you want to build speed, power, and strength through the legs, this is a solid move to have in your toolbox. Training explosive strength means the body is able to react quicker and generate more power in a shorter period of time. Pop Pop POPPP OFF🚀 These are a highlight from today’s power sesh with the LADAY crew, apart of the FREE ramp up series I’ve been hosting over the last 2 weeks. We building momentum & getting shit DONE💪🏼 As a coach, I often see women lacking the ability to produce POWER. This is something all women should be training, but especially women who trail run, hike, bike, and play in the mountains🤘🏻 If you are a mountain adventure laday who wants to build consistency in your training, come join the crew! We are on week 2 out of 3 of the free ramp up series. Drop a 🔥 in the comments or my DMs and Ill send you today’s full session. We only going up from here🔥🔥🔥🔥 #freeworkouts #womensstrength #womensstrengthtraining #explosivestrengrh

CONTROLLED HIP SWEEPS Goals of this move: ✅Enhance usable range of motion at the hip joint. ✅Teach the hips to move independently from the low back. ✅Learn to generate full body tension from the ground up. How To: 1. Create as much tension as possible throughout your entire body. Press DOWN with the fingertips, lock out the elbows, & keep the core strong. 2. ISOLATE THE HIPS - all motion should come from the hip joint. Common Isolation Patterns I see: ❌Elbows Bend ❌Movement (tilting) in the low back If this is you, limit your range of motion. You can also throw a block on your low back to give you some feedback on how your back is moving. If it falls off, you are compensating! ❌This one is a biggie for athletes with back pain. If you cannot move your hips independently from your low back, your low back has to compensate and carry all the load. Throw something like running, snowboarding, skiing, or hiking on top of a body that doesn’t move well and you’ve got PAIN & INJURY written on your forehead in red ink. ❌❌❌❌❌ MOVE THOSE HIPS OK? and your body will forever move you up & down mountains. #hipmobility#lowbackpain #hipexercise #hipmobility #lowbackexercises #mtnstrong

WEEK 2🔥 Ready to get after it? Where my MTN LADAYS at? We are entering week 2/3 of this FREE series as we close out winter and ramp up into rad ass summer adventures. Who are these sessions for? Women who plan to crush some rad activities in the mountains this summer & want to be strong AF to enjoy it ALL: bike, hike, trail run, play, ect.⛰️ How can you access them? Drop a skully in the comments or my DMs 💀 and I’ll hook you up. 🤷🏻‍♀️Sometimes it can be hard to drop back into a consistent training routine after the winter. Thats exactly why Im doing this ramp up series. To help you build momentum and CONSISTENCY in your training NOW, so you can enjoy all the adventures on your bucket list this summer. Ya cant have fun if you are weak or injured🥵 Sessions drop at NOON (mst) Tuesday & Thursday. Plug em in your schedule & lets get after it💪🏼

Strength training accomplishes 3 BIG goals for mountain athletes: 1. It significantly reduces risk of injuries by strengthening muscles & connective tissues. 2. It helps you move more efficiently by improving neuromuscular coordination. This means you are better able to hop, jump, land, pivot, and MOVE WELL through varied terrain. 3. It helps you build speed so you’ll be faster on the trails……and have more fun. It is the TIME my friends to start getting into general strength work to prep for the trails this spring & summer. Your body needs TIME to adapt before getting into more intense work. April is RAMP UP month, aka time to get back into the swing of a consistent training routine post winter. GOOD NEWS🎉 Im offering FREE workouts ALL MONTH to help you build momentum. This will help take the mental work out of your training sessions so you can take more action & actually build consistency. Consistency = Resultso The catch? These are for female mtn athletes ONLY💀 If you are looking to hike, bike, trail run, or backpack this summer, these are perfect for you. Drop a 🔥🔥🔥🔥 in the comments or my DMs and Ill hook you up! We will be dropping into week 2/3 of these free session next week! TIME TO FUCKiNG GOoooOO🚀 #trailstrength #mountainstrong #trailrunning #biking #backpacking #mountainbike #trailstrong #freeworkouts #letsfuckingg@#up#

Things to ALWAYS keep in your training🏔️ 💥Need help putting this stuff all together? If you are a laday who plans to recreate in the mountains this summer, I GOT YOU. I’ll be doing alll the programming for you in my 🎉NEW🎉 Mtn Ambition program, dropping May 1st. DM ‘AMBITION’ to learn more. Taking the time this spring to build strength, tendon capacity, and endurance WILL allow you to have more fun in the mountains this summer, & you WILL 100% perform better🔥 Activities like hiking, running, and biking are repetitive in nature. Even the slightest muscular imbalance, weakness, or joint restriction can have high consequences. How do we avoid pain & injury? By taking the time to build a SOLID base of general strength integrated with aerobic base training BEFORE jumping into more sport specific work. This will allow you to reach a higher level of performance later in the summer AND help prevent overuse injuries. Not sure where to start with all of this? Im hosting FREE strengrh workouts for women who plan to trail run, hike, and/or bike this summer. Join over 50 other women who are already signed up by dropping 💪🏼 in the comments or DMs. The time is now my friend. Lets fucking get it. #mtnstrength #mountainstrength #trailrunning #trailstrength #womensstrengthtraining #womensstrength #biking #trailrunstrength #mtnbiking #backpacking #hiking #strengthforhiking

You are not supposed to feel beat up after every session🤯 If you are, it probably means you need to tweak your approach.

Whats UP, IG fam👋 It’s been a bit since I’ve done an intro post so Im dropping in on ya to share a bit about me, my come up, and fun facts🎉 WHY NOT. At just 17, I knew I wanted to get into strength & conditioning. I actually traveled 2 hours to a S & C conference in Baltimore and was shocked when I was 1 of 5 other women in a sea of aging, bald, beefed-up white men🤷🏻‍♀️ I started my career at 18, scrubbing floors with ex-convicts at a local Gold’s Gym. Fast forward a few years and I became a group exercise instructor, specializing in strength & boxing classes. From there, I got my B.S. in Exercise Science, strength & conditioning specialist cert., and then moved to Utah from the east coast to work with skiers & snowboarders! Once in Utah, I bounced around a bit, teaching strength, parkour, & big air classes, ski bummmmin’ a bit, and then eventually leading & managing a sports performance facility in the Park City area. 2020 was the year the world stood still and I jumped to create Mountain Edge Performance. Since then, I’ve created the legendary Strength To Shred program and have helped hundreds of skiers & riders of all disciplines get strong, return to snow post injury, & ride pain free. It has been the most wonderful (and hella challenging) journey. Fun Facts: 💥I was a ski instructor for over 5 years. 💥I used to compete in rail jams across the east coast. 💥I like to listen to heavy rock & metal when I lift. 💥Not a fan of public gyms (heavy introvert at heart - dont talk to me when Im lifting) 💥I ‘ve been skiing for 25 years and snowboarding for 14! 💥I actually kind of enjoy hill sprints💀 💥Imma newbie backcountry rider (2 yrs) and stoked to continue exploring! 💥I think my favorite food right now is Tofu Vermicelli Noodles🤗 Last pic is when I started Mtn Edge in 2020>>> I’d love to hear from you!! How long have you been a part of the Mtn Edge community? Have we met? Would love to connect!

HEY LADIESsSs👋 This one’s for you💀❤️‍🔥💀❤️‍🔥 Im in the works of creating a NEW mtn edge training program that will be completely built FOR women BY women….and I need your help. I wanted to make a program to celebrate women’s STRENGTH, ambitions, & support them in pushing limits both in the gym & in the mtns. I wanted to make a program that centered around female COMMUNITY (vibes🤘🏻). I wanted to make a program to shed light on things that are often “shoved under the rug” for women such as training around the menstrual cycle & lifting heavy weights. Too often I’ve seen women doing the wrong types of training for mountain sports, eating the wrong foods, always burnt out, not reaching their full potential, or suffering unnecessary pain bc they were following the “noise” on the interwebs🥵 This is exactly why Im creating Mtn Ambition. To give women who want to get strong & recreate in the mountains the strategies they need to perform WITH their physiology, not against it. BUT…I want to hear from YOU!!! What would YOU want to see in a program like this? What do YOU want to be capable of doing this summer? ❤️‍🔥Comment below & then SLAP your name on the program interest list if you are pickin’ up what Im throwin’ down. <> Get early details & first dibs on this new program (spots will be limited) and any/all discounts & bonuses! No obligation. We start May 1st💪🏼

Our hips are built to ROTATE🔑 However, due to sitting and other stationary work activities, they can get stuck. Without adequate hip rotation, other areas of the body start to compensate, which can lead to pain, injury, & muscle fatigue. I commonly see a lack of hip internal rotation in athletes experiencing both knee & back pain. If you are NOT incorporating hip I.R. work, ESPECIALLY if you have some knee & back junk going on, the time to start is now my friend. Drop a 💀 in the comments or my DMs and Ill send you a guided video of one of my go to hip internal rotation exercises so you can get started on this journey ASAP. #hipinternalrotation #hipmobility #backpain #skiexercises #snowboardexercises

You’ve tried everything but your pain flare ups and/or chronic fatigue are persistent. Sound familiar? You are not alone. You’ve been to docs, PTs, chiro’s, trainers, ‘healers’, THE WORKS, and no one can seem to help you break through. Sound familiar? You are not alone. I’ve worked with MANY athletes who have come to me in this state. Whats one thing they all have in common? A dysregulated nervous system. What does that mean? There is an imbalance between the sympathetic (fight or flight) and parasympathetic (rest & digest) systems that can manifest physiologically as pain & fatigue. Chronic stressors that can impact your nervous system: 💀physical stress (training, trauma, illness) 💀psychological stress (fear, frustration, shame) 💀social stress (relationships, work, financial) 💀spiritual stress (crisis of values, meaning, purpose) So yes, there can be a lot to unpack here, but once you identify your biggest stressors and start to consistently prioritize activities that downregulate your nervous system - you WILL start to see changes. Paired alongside a purpose driven training program is where you will start to break the pain & fatigue cycles. THIS is what a holistic approach to training looks like and THIS is what I practice with all of my athletes. Training that focuses on optimizing performance while putting health & well-being FIRST❤️‍🔥

Train YO STABILIZERS💥 Everyone wants to get strong but no one wants to slow down and tune in. If you don’t know by now, stability precedes strength & power. Taking the time to build better body control & spatial awareness pays dividends both on & off the snow. I challenge you to SLOW DOWN, focus on control, & move with intent. Save to try these during your next sesh and lemmmme know how they go!

A few bits of “spring” in the Wasatch❤️‍🔥

Stoked to be back in the land of spring slush. Just out here shaking off the winter rust💀

Free workshop going down TOMORROW❤️‍🔥 My goal is to help you continue thriving on and off the snow as we move into springtime shenanigans. But we cannot do that if we don’t know how our bodies are functioning. Tomorrow we will be testing our limits & pinpointing weaknesses/restrictions that could be causing us pain NOW or nasty injuries down the line. After, I’ll give you targeted protocols I use with my athletes so you can overcome your weaknesses & continue pushing progression until closing day. To register, head to the link in my bio & sign up for the injury risk assessment. From there you will get a private invite🫶🏻 You have goals & ambitions for the spring. Let me help you crush them. Questions? Drop a comment or DM. See you tomorrow frew✌🏻

to get rid of knee pain for good, you gotta know where its coming from 😬 Testing your strength & mobility is important because if you’re limited in your movement, other areas of your body will compensate, which can lead to pain or sometimes injury. The MOST COMMON restrictions I see in skiers & snowboarders dealing with knee pain: ❌Lack of ankle mobility. ❌Lack of glute & hip strength. ❌Lack of neuromuscular control & knee stability upon landings. This is exactly why I created a FREE injury risk assessment for skiers & snowboarders. So you can check in on common weaknesses & restrictions that are either contributing to your pain NOW or may cause you injury in the future. Once you identify your restrictions & weaknesses, you can finally take steps to overcome them with the targeted exercise protocols in my PDF download! Want to see how you measure up, get to the root of current pain points, and assess your future risk of injury? Sign up for the free workshop via the link in my bio. @mtnedgeperformance The workshop will kick off this Tuesday at 1pm MST❤️‍🔥 Lets finish the season with a 💥💥💥 #skiing #snowboarding
