What is a good ski exercise?

Answer by  DRS (621)

You're really going to want to strengthen and tone your legs for skiing. I'd suggest lots jumping squats and walking lunges. These will strengthen your legs and increase your explosiveness.

Any type of cardio will help you get ready for ski season. Try running outdoors or on the tredmill at your local gym.

You should start cardio and strength training. I suggest running several times a week, and also cross training on an elliptical, stairmaster, or stationary bicycle. You should also start strength training 3 or more days a week, focusing on all major muscle groups especially the lower body.

There are many good exercises for skiiers but my favorite is the wall squat. Because you need strong legs to ski it's important to develop the major leg muscles. For a wall squat simply lean against the chair and lower to a 90 degree angle like sitting in a chair.
