Hit the slopes in great shape
If in 2012 you have booked a skiing holiday you must make sure you have strengthened the muscles you will be using otherwise you will suffer from DOMS (delayed onset muscular soreness) which means you will spend less time skiing and more time feeling stiff and sore.
Fitness training for skiing is often over looked because it is only participated once per year on a recreational basis. For this reason individuals are usually poorly conditioned and suffer the consequences of DOMS, reduced time on the slopes and injuries. So if you’re looking to get the most from you skiing holiday we recommend that you start a taking part in regular physical activity for a minimum of 4 weeks.
When training for a skiing holiday it is important to focus on muscular strength and endurance especially in your legs and lower back. By taking part in this kind of training for a minimum of 4 weeks you will reduce any soreness or stiffness from skiing. Another important area you must focus on when training for a skiing holiday is core stability and flexibility because this can help improve your balance and reduce your risk of injury.
By including muscular strength and endurance, core stability and flexibility into your training program for a minimum of 4 weeks you will hit the slopes in good shape. If you want to hit the slopes in great shape you must include aerobic training to your program because this will help reduce fatigue meaning that you can ski for longer.
