I like pulse squats as well; my pole plants with imaginary poles helps get a few extra out.  and some funny looks obviously

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

I bought a balance board this year and the ONLY pre skiing exercises I did were on that, I have bad knees, am 60, carrying 2 stone more than I need and nothing hurt me after 12 days skiing. That's a first for me - I always get very sore legs after a few days and really bad DOMS. I did about 6/8 weeks daily exercises on it so massively exercising core but also did squats and calf raises on it as well. Must have done a lot of good!

I like that you put in calf raises as most routines dont include calf work... I would take out the waist break floor touch in the side lunges though as it patterns poor skiing form.. nice job on a short video !

Yes and should also therefore add in something for anterior tibialis, the most ignored ski muscle there is (apart from the one between the ears). Using a band for resistance and pulling toes up towards knee works.

And love to help out and answer questions and of course, read each other's snow reports.

Did an exercise the other day which was as close to a good ski burn as I've experienced. Squat Jacks (ie in a squat or half squat position and do jacks). It makes sense as it is a similar position to skiing with the forces acting on my quads. Apologies if it's included in some of the above. I'm still doing HIIT 4 times a week, yoga once a week and a good run once a week (16-20km), hopefully with the social mountain biking I should be in a good place for next season with a bit more focus from Sept onwards.

Decathlon have them even cheaper & we all use them in our house. Can you jump onto it & land it yet?

You know it makes sense.

Just started my "get fit for skiing" routine, by skiing, I mean sopib (abseiling into coulouirs and other interesting stuff), moguls, carving silly angles, tree skiing etc
I start with a 3 minute run about this time of year as I am usually very unfit after the summer, too hot to do anything strenuous, even in the UK summer, for me, I usually have aching muscles for two days after.
Just had a 5 minute /1000m run, I expect my legs will ache a little for the next two days,
I try to get out for a run every 2-3 days, building up to 5000m+/30min runs, ideally incorporating some up & downhill sections.

Hi Joe,
Found you here by chance, great exercises. Thanks.
I trust you've turned my old skis into a fine piano by now!
Best,
Francis
