Getting Fit for Snowsports

A recent blog from SkiClub has given advice on how to make a difference to your winter adventures!

Whether you are a skier or snowboarder, preparing your body for winter is key. You’ll not only have a much better time out on the mountain, but you’ll also significantly improve your overall fitness too.

You do not need to be able to complete a triathlon or a marathon to enjoy a week on the slopes. However, a good level of fitness is important, both to minimise the risk of injury and to make the most of your limited time on the slopes

A comprehensive conditioning regime consists of more than just a few squats, but that doesn’t mean you need to spend hours in the gym every day in the autumn. Medical professionals recommend that you start to condition your body using ski-specific exercises at least 6 weeks before your winter holiday, and, fortunately, many of the best exercises for skiing can be done from the comfort of your own home.
