In this video, we are going to show you exercises in flat terrain.
Falling properly
While you're doing your first practice falls, lay your board with the binding face-down in the snow so that it can't slide away.
First, we'll practice the fall forward: Hold your bent arms across your chest, bend your knees, and let yourself fall onto your elbows. Make sure that your arms remain bent!
Even when falling backwards, it is important to bend your legs as quickly as possible. Also, make sure that you don't support yourself with your hands, but that you make your back round as you roll backwards.
It's best if you do the same exercises again with the board attached.
Standing up
To stand up for the first time on level terrain, turn through 180 degrees on the tips of your toes, position your hands at knee height, and then push yourself upwards.
Now you can repeat the falling exercises with the board.
Exercises when standing
With the following exercises when standing, you'll get used to your new equipment and simultaneously train the movement elements that you'll soon need for your first turns on the piste.
Move up and down alternately. As you do so, make sure that your board is flat and that you have equal weight on both legs.
Shift your body weight alternately from your front to your back foot by leaning your torso towards the nose and then the tail.
Reaching towards the nose and towards the tail supports the weight shifting.
By alternately putting pressure on your heel and toe you can practice edging, which you'll need later on for braking.
Next, try doing little jumps with the board.
If that works, turn the board in the air until you've managed a 360 degree rotation. Follow this with a rotation in the opposite direction.
To initiate the rotation for a turn, it's sometimes helpful to do a short initial rotation with your upper body - and you can practice this while standing as well. If your shoulders are above the board, this is called the minus position - if the torso is rotated it's known as the plus position.
As a final exercise on flat terrain, step out of the rear binding and push yourself along, as you would with a scooter or a skateboard. Try shifting your body weight here onto the front foot.
Have fun! Your Bergfex team.
