I’ve heard people recommend squats. What else? Are those ski exercise machines any good? I’m about to get into Masters skiing. Thanks.
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!
hey. i get ski racing magazine and i’m a racer too:) but i’ll read you what it says.
single-leg bounding
force bias medicine-ball throws and toss (i’d google that to see what it is ha)
over speed springs slightly downhill
strength alignment and flexibility work
split squat jumps
explosive step ups
single leg squats
it says also to do lots of explosive workouts.
like jumping. and instead of just doing regular squats, do squat thrusts or squat jumps.
jump up on steps.
get like an aerobic step or a box and jump up and down from that.
also it says to do explosive running.. like walking for a little then sprinting full out then walking for a little then sprinting full out.
i guess it sounds like they know what they’re talking about ha
