Whilst learning to snowboard, you’ll be using muscles you probably never even thought existed before, let alone ones that you though had anything to do with strapping a board to your feet.

Your arms will hurt from pushing yourself up, your chest will ache from flapping your arms about and your neck will throb from catching your edges. Take a minute when you get in from the hill to stretch out as many muscles as you can think of, properly, for at least thirty seconds each.

Tedious, but the good news is that you can drink tea/beer and watch TV whilst you do it, no really.
