This Midseason Workout Will Keep You In Shape For Skiing All Winter Long
Midseason ski training isn’t necessarily the same as preseason or postseason training. You don’t want your legs sore as you’re heading to the mountain and you certainly don’t want to risk a serious injury in the middle of the winter. But it’s still important that you work on your strength to prevent injury and stay active all day on the mountain. There are a lot of different workouts you can do throughout the season, but this routine from OnTheSnow is a great place to start.
The workout features three main exercises. The first is chin ups, working to maintain balance with upper body strength throughout the winter. Pulling exercises in general are good for the ski season, but this video focuses on chin ups. Secondly, single-legged Romanian dead lifts will challenge balance, hip stability, and hamstring strength, preventing ACL injuries while on the mountain. Lastly they touch on the Swiss ball trifecta, strengthening the core, back, hamstrings, and more.
