Baller Than_Bogan Posted May 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 9, 2012 Is it my imagination or does a focus on handle control seem to use a lot of "unusual" abdominal muscles? I do a variety of ab work during the winter, but this season I am really starting out focused on handle control and I feel like I'm more sore in my abs than almost anywhere else as I'm ramping up. Anybody have exercises to recommend (perhaps for next winter)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller thager Posted May 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 9, 2012 I'd go to the cupboard and take two Midols. Always helps when I have ramps. Seriously though, I know what you mean. Slalom really works the core muscles and I'm sure mine are sore too. Hard to tell when all my other muscles are screaming too!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Razorskier1 Posted May 9, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 9, 2012 Yes. If you are going to keep your handle in close and low, you have to engage your core to maintain your position on the ski and to keep the line tight as you are moving out to the buoy line.

Baller Rich Posted May 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 10, 2012 The better you become you will realize that core stregnth is very important. As I have learned to stay stacked my core is what gets the most sore. Do pilates, Bikram Yoga. 4-6 X's per week and you will be amazed. Of course this needed to start in Nov 2011 if you wanted to have a great 2012 season! Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller xrated Posted May 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 10, 2012 I second yoga. IMO the best ab workout I have ever found is decline bench situps with medicine ball throws. Add in some twists for the obliques, some planks and if you really want to feel like you are gonna puke do some hanging leg raises. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller dave2ball Posted May 10, 2012 Baller Share Posted May 10, 2012 Athlean-x is an app for the i-phone it has great abd work outs and hits the core in just about every way. OB's version works also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
