Preseason training and exercises for skiers are vital if you want to have a long, injury-free winter on the slopes where you can last all day, every day. It can also be quite a bit confusing, like any training, if you don’t have a coach or guide helping to create workout plans.
Ideally, preseason training includes weight training, cardio, and mobility for a full, well rounded preparation headed into the season. Weight training is super important for preventing injuries while also benefitting your form and performance on the mountain. So what kind of workouts should you be doing? Exercises that work your legs and core should be the primary focus, and these 6 exercises for skiers, presented by Outdoor Adventure Training, will do exactly that.
The 6 exercises for skiers presented include the goblet squat, reverse step-up, deep split squat, single leg Romanian deadlift, Pallof press, and the ice skaters. Of course if you want a perfect exercise routine, your best bet is probably to find a personal trainer who’s willing and able to work directly toward your weaknesses and build up your strength before you get on the mountain.
