Health knowledge made personal
 squat  lunge squats and lunges are great becuase they workout your quads. your quads are the most used muscles while skiing, these muscles hold you in position as you ski and they also provide protection for your knees. To increase the intensity of both of these consider holding dumbells, between 3-10kg2. THIGHS   3. CALVES Because your knees are bent as you ski, your calves help you stay upright so you don't fall over, not to mention having calves that are strong will reduce muscle soreness post skiing. To work out your calves i sugest calf rises.  shift body weight from your heels to your toes, add weights to increase intensity.4. Having a base cardio fitness..having a basic cardio fitness will ensure your overall body is strengthened and your muscles will not go into shock and become very very sore the day after. Being physically fit means you can spend longer on the slopes and enjoy your day without being limited. i recommend cross training, cycling and running.  ok kiddies i hope you enjoyed this post and will have have a lovely season :) hopefully the snow gods are good to us :)
