 Poster: A snowHead
|
Apologies for starting a new thread as I'm sure there's advice on here about this already, but I just can't find it!
I have big problems staying warm, especially my extremities, and it's been suggested to me that making sure my body temperature is higher before I set off would make a big difference. This makes sense (after a workout I stay warm for quite a long time), so does anyone have a good warm up routine they use in the hotel before hitting the slopes that would not only help protect against injury, improve flexion etc but also warm up my core temp enough please?
Obviously I don't want to do so much I'm sweating or tire my muscles out!
Thanks.

tbh, a good brisk walk would probably be enough, especially if you're carrying kit and wearing ski boots. The best way to improve flexion is to stretch at the end of the day, when the muscles are warm and more accepting of it. Stretching when cold, in the morning, won't have as much benefit.

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

I'd also take a look at what you're wearing to see if you can improve that. Warming up beforehand is a good idea but it's not going to keep you warm for much longer in an environment where you're already having problems keeping warm.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm looking at all aspects of staying warm, but I'd read someone's advice somewhere about warming up like this and how much easier it is to retain heat. There was another post with a crack which made it sound as if the poster has pointed out to people that they should warm-up (from a safety perspective) before hitting the slopes many times before, but are usually ignored - I was kinda hoping they might see this thread and reply, but this forum is a lot quieter than some of the others I guess.
Thanks again though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

HelenS, As above from feef, then a run of short radius turns with pole plant should do it, imagine skis going 10 to 2 on a clock face, really warms everthing up to start the day.

Maybe it's just me, but after getting my boots on etc and getting to the first lift I'm more likely to need a rest than a warmup
