HI, my name is Dave Schoeneck and we're here in the beautiful Wasatch Mountains of Utah. Here to talk about adaptive sports and how snowshoeing can fit in with a lot of people’s adaptive life. One of the first things we're going to want to do is with snowshoeing is a warm up and because really everybody if your an athlete. If your exorcising regularly you still need you need a warm up you need to stretch. If you don't exercise regularly then it's really important to really prolong the warm up and really stretch because there's muscles that you haven't used and you don't want to pull a muscle because that's kind of the end of the day and so. To show you a little bit of the warm up is just really a walking. Your just kind of getting comfortable with the snowshoes. So about five to eight minutes of that will defiantly get the heart rolling. Get you warmed up.
