with the up and coming ski season, i find that both my upper legs and calves are usually burning while i ski. does anyone know of any exercises that can improve my leg’s endurance and strength?
Hi, my name is David Watson and I'm a downhill skier. I live near Moonlight Basin in Montana. I'm huge into fresh powder, moguls and AIR TIME!
I put this site together because I have a bunch of buddies who kept asking me how I had the stamina to ski so long every day that we go out. I thought that maybe some of the information I know and I've found could be useful to other people outside of my little circle of friends. I've also done some research on good workout routines that can help you become a better skiier. I've sifted through the junk to find the best of the best. Enjoy the site!
Start jumping rope on a regular basis. 15 minutes a day every day. Take some lessons to adjust your balance, I suspect you are letting your hips drift back and this puts more strain on the legs. It could be as little as 2 inches that your hips need to move forward.
