A burning sensation in your legs may indicate that your muscles are at the point of exhaustion. Even the most basic of snowboarding maneuvers require increased muscle stamina. Through regular physical activity, lactic acid will build up in your muscles and cause them to burn. A good way to reduce lactic acid burn is to condition your muscles before to the snowboarding season. Focus on your core muscles, including your hamstrings, quadriceps and calves.
Step 1
Start your training regiment at least one month before the opening day of the snowboarding season. Perform a squatting exercise to engage the core muscles you use during snowboard maneuvers. Place your feet about shoulder-width apart to ensure a balanced stance.
Step 2
Hold a small dumbbell in each of your hands to increase the difficulty of the training technique. Bend your knees to a 45-degree angle while keeping the weights parallel to the floor. Extend your legs to stand in a stationary position.
Step 3
Place your feet onto the stairs with your heels hanging off. Lift your heels above the edge of the stair to engage your calves. Perform this squatting exercise five to 10 minutes each day to strengthen your leg muscles.
Step 4
Jump on a trampoline as part of your daily training regiment. Pull your knees towards your chest to increase the elasticity of your core muscles.Execute these calf raises for five to 10 minutes each day to decrease the likelihood of lactic acid burn.
Step 5
Choose a mellow snowboarding slope that features a finely groomed terrain. Perform wide fluid turns to reduce the build up of lactic acid. Fasten your binding straps snugly to increase your board response.
