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 :-)

Anterior knee ligaments
 Poster: A snowHead
Poster: A snowHead

I have managed to jigger my anterior knee ligaments (too much time on a turbo-trainer) - creaky knees which get painful playing football and running.

Any idea as to how to get in shape for skiing?

this is a good link to some rehab exercises for your ACL injury.

to get in shape you could strap it correctly whilst working out at the gym or running, it may not hinder you performing exercise to strengthen and improve your core muscles.
Have you tried swimming with your injury? That could really help.

Stop running and playing footy!

I have poor knees but have never been fitter, I dont run anymore, but do stuff like boxercise, weight training, circuits, spin and simply freestyle the bits that involve jumping around, spotty dogs sprint starts for example.

Plenty of squats, not very low ones help to strengthen your quads and hams which all look after the knee joint.

Good luck! Razz

Cheers, Snowbum1971. That would please my footy teammates - I am a good keeper but a terrible outfield player, so my staying in goal would suit them.

I'll give some exercises a go........

I used to play hockey..............in Goal too, but my knee surgeon said stop, so I did, most of my joints, including my knees now feel much better! But I really miss the hockey! Crying or Very sad

i fully agree with squats but not low, if you go low (with bad knees) you have the opposite effect and place undue pressure on the knees with the potential of pulling/stretching ligaments!

... squats, lunges, wobble boards and cycling. I had an ACL op in February so i'm counting on those exercises to get me through the winter! good luck.
