Down Time Episode 11: Crossing over/Finding balance

T.J. Lanning and Kaylin Richardson spice up their off-season training in a number of ways, each tailoring their specific workouts to help build and strengthen the muscles specific to skiing but utilizing other sports or exercises.
    Lanning says during the off-season he spends mornings engaged in two-hour workouts focusing on core and leg exercises under the direction of either one of his coaches or a member of the USSA Sport Science staff. The afternoons are spent in some type of cross-training, including a hockey camp this past summer for the entire men's alpine team.   
    Richardson, during her workouts in a hometown gym, said she focuses on dynamic movements similar to skiing. She definitely sets off-season goals that difffer from those she sets for the competition season. "Being as prepared as I can be, being as strong as I can be, and being as fit as I can be," Richardson says.
    Ski Racing and Rival Films present episode 11 of the 16-week series Down Time: The Summer Sessions.
