Getting your body ready for ski season can be a bit of a challenge. If you’re like me, you tend to just stick to summer sports until it’s too cold to do said summer sports, then sit on your couch until there’s snow on the ground. That often leaves me using early ski season to get in shape for the rest of the ski season, and I find myself weaker than I’d like to be when the best snow is falling to the ground.
To actually prepare for the ski season, you need to do targeted workouts focused on leg strength, core strength, and balance, but finding an ideal workout can be hard. It will always be up to the individual, and a personal trainer will likely be the only way to get exactly what you need. But if you just want something to do at home, this full ski workout program from Uphill Athlete, presented by Atomic, could be the one for you.
“Skiing is unlike any other sport. It’s elusive, only allowing us a few precious days or weeks a year.” – Uphill Athlete
