Ski season is quickly approaching. Any ideas of things that I can be doing to prepare outside of running. I try to hit the gym a few times a week and I would love to hear anything that you do to build the strength in the legs.

I've been doing this workout along with mtb, climbing, yoga, and plyometrics such as speed ladder and dot drills. I feel very ready for the season.

This looks intense. I haven't watched the video yet. How many sets do you normally do? I should start going to spin class. Let the suffering begin! Lol.

If you have access to a Bosu ball, try busting out as many squats as you can. Keeps your legs strong and helps your balance.

Get into into the habit of stretching before you ski/exercise if you don’t already.

Trampolines are good for learning air awareness and how to orient yourself when flipping and spinning.

Skating/Rollerblading/Mountain biking are all good for balance, line-choice, and confidence.

You start with half the amount of reps in each and do 5 sets. Then add a set every 1-2 days of workout until you're doing 10. Then double the amount of reps and do 2 sets. Add a set every 1-2 days of workout until you get to 5.

Does anyone really feel that out of shape at the start of the season or is it more being stoked for winter but not having snow yet?

I have a 2 foot retaining wall for my pool that I do one backie off of a day. I literally get home and let my dog out and backflip. Keeps my mind loose now that I am getting older.

Went for a hike the other day. Decided to run home and my quads are still on fire. I bike a lot and that's good for general leg strength, but I feel like the lack of articulation doesn't do much for injury prevention.

I've been told that soccer is the best activity for knee injury prevention because of the lateral movement for ball control/passing.

I'm tempted to go to a trampoline park. However, I know I will be the oldest person there by at least two decades.

Even if the only thing you do is backflip it's still rad to see older people send it. The only people who disagree are pubescent punks

I run 20-25 miles a week. Weighted goblet squats. That about it.

Working at a gymnastics gym keeps me in shape because of spotting and general demonstration, also I wash dishes at a pizza restaurant so it leads to arm strength I guess

Tack a 10 min stretching warmup and 10 min pilates cool down onto a few of your gym workouts.

A little improvement in flexibility, core strength, body awareness, and balance yield good results in skiing performance and injury prevention. Not to mention overall physique and composition.

Hell, I've taken some real crash test dummy falls that would fuck up most people, but my hot girl Gumby body kept me skiing out of it and thanking the gods for my little warmup cooldown. Very effective.

been spending my mornings the last few weeks waking up early and doing variations of power yoga and other flows. shit feels good, helps you settle down with breath control, and will stretch you out really well.
