No matter whether you’re a hard core off piste powder hound, a piste plougher, or you’ve just signed up for the vin chaud and apero hour, we all know that we should get fit for skiing!  Maybe we’ll even manage a few of the exercises that we see in the magazines, a wall squat here and there or some single leg dips and hops, but is all lost if you don’t get around to it until 2 weeks before?

I appreciate that August has just ended and we’ve just returned from our lovely Summer holidays, however for us skiers it’s now time to start asking some serious questions … How many days is it until we go skiing? How much snow will there be this year? Where are my ski socks? When do the lifts open? A ‘Onesie’ or two piece ski suit?

If you want to get psyched for skiing and training for skiing we suggest watching the ski documentary called “Streif” currently viewable on Redbull.tv. This is the story of the legendary Kitzbühel World Cup downhill event in 2013 and follows the 12 month build up of four of the competitors.

We all know we should get fit to get the most out of our annual skiing holiday, but we are all so busy rushing around with work, social events and chores etc that we just don’t find the time to do our workouts.

Through the development of the SkiFit programme we have put together a set of over 100 exercises that when combined together develop all round strength and fitness for all snow sports. However I know that we are all very busy people and finding time for 1 hour workouts is difficult and sometimes impossible. This realisation set me thinking… what if we could only do one exercise in our skiing preparation and we had to slip this exercise into our daily activities, which one should it Continue reading →
