Proper preparation for a skiing trip can get you on the front foot as you hop off the ski lift and get ready for your first run.
Skiing demands strength, flexibility, and endurance, so starting your prep early is key to enjoying your trip without injury.
Join Optimum Derby as we go over the exercises and stretches you should be doing now to get ready for your ski trip. Learn which ones are the most important and how to do them at home in your own time.
Strength training is essential to build the leg and core muscles that support your knees and help you balance on unpredictable terrain. Squats, lunges, and planks are great moves to start with, as they strengthen critical muscle groups used during skiing.
We’ll also look at flexibility exercises to keep your muscles moving, reducing the chance of strain or injury and making you more responsive on the slopes.
MD Tom Heeley will also stress the importance of your fitness levels and endurance ability. As anyone who has been skiing or snowboarding will know, it can be a very tiring activity!
Activities like running, cycling, or stair climbing can build the stamina you need for a full day on the mountain. But how much?
Join us live and set yourself up for your best performance on the slopes and when you mates or family ask how you did it…tell them Optimum helped you!
