Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Just picked up my BOSU lookee likee but I won't be starting the plan until next Monday as I'm spending the next few days in a whirlwind of travelling and overindulging in food and wine! Mind you...I had a quick look at that workout and it looks scarily hard for an unfit, overweight, slightly the wrong side of 40 woman like me!

Yes .. OK for you female athletic goddesses but what does an aged git who hasn't trained for 8 months and who isn't allowed to lift his right arm above his shoulder do to get for for skiing? Sounds like rowing machine and cycle and crunches to me ?? Any of you got a routine you can pass on .. with seriously nothing above shoulder height?

skiday, If you look at the top of each page under the snowheads logo, there is a link that reads 'send/read messages' . If you click on it you can then send Stocky a message.First, click the new post butoon, then just put his usrename in the appropriate box. Make sure you can receive messages in you user profile to.

Hi, just wanted to revive one of the fitness threads.

I'm quite physically fit but am looking for some alternative training tips. I usually do quite a lot of running but my hip has been playing up a bit (I think I'm getting old peoples things happening to me - eeeeeeks) - been a bit sore, seems to be aggravated by running. I've been using cross-trainer/rower/bike/swimming instead but don't feel that I'm doing so as much using these.

I haven't got Stokys workout info just yet - but my pre-ski workout follows for those that are interested -

1. Flexibility (at home) - A basic yoga workout is good (I try to do this every day, alghough I don't if I get home from work v late) - see B.K.S. Iyendag's book, Yoga. If you don't want to do the Yoga workout try hip flexor stretches, hamstring stretches, trunk flex/stretches and calf stretches. It takes about 45 mins to 1 hour to do a Yoga workout, and I think it's well worth spending the extra time on this as it gives you great muscle control and suppleness.

2. Balance and Co-ord (at home) - I use a jump (skipping) rope (30 mins per day unless I've done a serious CV workout on a spin bike same day) - Reebocks Batwing (Jump Rope) comes with a 'Jump Training' pamphlet that shows various techniques. I either do this first thing in the morning or after work. It's great exercise and when you first start with it, it gives you the very same leg pain you can get for the first 3 - 4 days of a ski trip if you don't get fit beforehand. Don't worry if you haven't done any skipping before as it doesn't take very long to learn how to!

3. Strength Building (at the gym) - leg press, calf raise, leg curl. Then (at home) I use a gymnastics ball for abdomenals and lower back strengh exercises.

4. Speed (at home) - Skipping use a single jump per revolution of the rope moving from side to side - It's called a 'Ski Jump' in Reebocks Jump Training Booklet.

5. Endurance (at the gym) - The best CV workout I've found is Spinning. If you've done it before you'll know what I mean - if not give it a go - take a big bottle of water and if poss' wear cycling shorts. If you can't get into a spinning class try an exercise bike program which lets you vary your heart rate. I try to do at least 3 classes/sessions a week.

Toofy Grin The great thing about my pre-season work up is that you can do most of it at home - you can get away with 3 visits a week to the gym. For those days that you're not in the gym the skipping gives you a good 30 min CV workout (or more if you like) as well as taking care of the speed, balance and co-ordination.

If anybody can spot any holes in this let me know.

For all of you who have been doing my ski workouts I would be grateful if you could pass back any feedback for me. So far I have only had one person mail me any details (thanks Jenny) and would appreciate a few others doing the same. I mailed the workout to about 20 or so snowheads and would have expected a few more to at least mail back some info for me.

I look forward to hearing from you. wink

stocky, I did have a look at your workout, but so far I've been sticking to my own program with my own personal trainer, and doing a different core muscle program, so I've not got any real feedback for you I'm afraid.
