🎿 Fit for skiing – Workout tip 1: The ski squat

Strengthens the thighs and trains your balance

The ski squat is an intensive but extremely effective exercise to strengthen your thigh muscles and improve your balance – ideal for dynamic descents.

• Place both feet flat on the floor.
• Bend your knees and bend your upper body slightly forward, keeping your back straight.
• Hold this position for 30 seconds.
• Relax for 30 seconds (feel free to walk a little while standing) and repeat the exercise 3 more times.

 

🎿 Fit for skiing – Workout tip 2: The lunge

Trains legs, buttocks and balance

The lunge is a challenge that is well worth it! This exercise not only strengthens your thigh and gluteal muscles, but also helps you to keep your balance – a must for all skiers.

• Stand on a mat and raise your right leg.
• Take a lunge forward until your right lower leg and thigh form a 90° angle. Your left knee hovers just above the floor.
• Bring your right leg back to the center of your body and then lunge backwards. Make sure that your left knee and left foot form a line.
• Repeat the movement 15-20 times before changing legs.

 

🎿 Fit for skiing – Workout tip 3: The bridge

Strengthens thighs and back

The bridge is an excellent exercise to strengthen your thighs and back for the strain on the slopes.

• Lie flat on your back with your legs bent so that your feet are almost touching your buttocks.
• Raise your pelvis until your thighs and torso form a straight line.
• Hold the position for 20-30 seconds.
• Slowly roll the spine down again. Repeat the exercise 3-5 times.

 

In top form for the slopes

If you do these three exercises every day for 3-4 weeks, you will be well prepared for your first turns in the Stubaital. This way you can hit the slopes and enjoy the wintry mountain world around the Berg Genuss Hotel Augarten in Neustift im Stubaital to the full.
