Training tips for skiing holidays
In collaboration with Friskis&Svettis, we have developed three great exercises that are easy to do at home. Training properly for your ski holiday will not only make you a better skier, but you will also be able to ski longer without tiring your legs and get the most out of your days off.
Tip 1: Strengthen your foot, knee and hip
To be able to make many turns, you need to have good strength in your feet, knees and hips. Here is a simple exercise on how to get stronger laterally.
Tip 2: Strengthen your thighs and buttocks
Exercising the thighs and seat is important to be able to move smoothly on the ski slope. The thighs take a lot of the power when you turn and you can easily get tired in the muscles after a few runs.
Tip 3: Coping with lactic acid
In the last tip, we show you how to train to cope with lactic acid. An important step for those who love to carve down the hill with great pressure on the legs!
