Exercises For Pre Season Ski Training



If you like skiing, it is essential for you to keep fit. These are some Exercises For Pre Season Ski Training. Look for a hill where you can run up and down. This is the best way for you to combine cardio and strengthening the thigh muscles on top of your leg.

You should also do lunges. This is the best way for you to work on your leg muscles, hamstring and rear end. You can easily do the workout in your house. You need to make sure that you do not extend your knee over your foot so that you make a ninety degree angle.

One of the most used muscles during skiing is your calves. The best way for you to work on your calves is by standing on  tiptoes in intervals of thirty seconds. You can even step it up a notch by lowering your body into a squat position as you are on your tiptoes.

Your core balance and muscles are also essential as you will be training for skiing. Besides doing the common sit ups or crunches, you should do the one leg knee bend. Stand on one leg and then bend the knee of the same leg, then straighten it out while you keep your abs engaged. Working out on your core and balance go together. You can hop on one leg once, twice and then you freeze on the third.

 You should also stretch since tight muscles are not good. Flexibility is essential when you are on the mountain. These are some of the simple workouts you can do. You do not need to join a gym to do them. You can even do a simple thing such as playing soccer with your friends. Be creative, have fun and think of your skiing trip.
