Although we know that you are one of those who stay fit all year, it's been a few months since the last time you put on your skis. We give you a series of exercises to include in your training routines that will help you strengthen your legs. That will allow you to endure more on the boards and thoroughly enjoy your day in the snow.
Squats
Squats are ideal for preparing your quadriceps and knees, since they are the areas that work the most when we ski. They are in charge of flexing and leaning our body correctly while practicing this sport.
Lateral strides
Include these series in your daily routine to exercise and strengthen the muscles of the legs and work the balance of the body (very important when we are on the skis).
Front plank
This complete exercise should not be missing in your day to day, as it strengthens all the muscle groups of the central part of your body: the core. It is essential to have a good stability and balance on the boards.
Rear leg lifts with dead weight
Do these repetitions to toughen your buttocks. You will need them to as strong as posible because they are the opposite muscles to the quadriceps and they also come into play when we flex forward.
Calf muscle
The calf muscles suffer the tension of the whole day by the posture to which the body is subjected. Calfs lifts will help these muscles stretch and get strong.
But the most important thing is that you enjoy and have fun training. So combine these exercises with your favorite sports such as walking, running, biking or swimming, which will also help you get physically fit and prepare for a memorable winter season. And don't forget to stretch, before and after physical activity, to rest your muscles and avoid injuries.
We are sure that with these exercises you will feel so good that you will not stop skiing on Grandvalira ski slopes over and over again. That’s why we give you the best offer: hotel and ski pass so you can start the ski season in a great way. Are you going to miss it?
