Strength training for skiing
The best exercises to prepare for skiing
Skiing is a complex sport that uses all of the body's muscles. Targeted strength training is recommended before skiing in order to prevent muscle soreness and injury.
As a nice side effect, you'll also improve your skiing technique and perform better in classic ski practice and of course on the slopes.
3 sets of 15 repetitions per exercise
When training for skiing, do three sets of each strength training exercise. Take a break for 30-60 seconds in between each set.
2-3 times a week
Integrate your strength training into your other sporting activities 2-3 times a week during and before the ski season.
