The 6 Best Workouts to Prepare for Ski Season
With ski season upon us, many of us are itching to strap into our skis or boards and hit the slopes. However, jumping into your boots and onto the hill without a little training beforehand can make for a very sore few post-ski days and even increase the chance of injuries. Plus, getting into better shape for the ski season will make your time on the slopes more fun. Find the best health clubs with gyms in Bakersfield, Napa, and beyond and try the following to prepare for this winter sports season.
Ski Jumps
How could an exercise called “ski jumps” not be the first one on your list? Plus, a benefit of ski jumps is that all you need for them is an exercise mat and some space in the health club. Ski jumps are accomplished by miming jumping between mounds on a slalom course. Basically, you crouch and spring laterally from one side to the other. It works the lower body and core—precisely what you’re looking to train for the ski season.
M7: HIIT
M7: HIIT is a high-energy and high-intensity interval training full-body workout that will get your blood pumping and muscles working. This dynamic, intense studio fitness class is a 30-minute bootcamp-style that will help you HIIT your training goals. M7: HIIT is an ideal option for pre-skiing full-body conditioning.
Wall Sits
Walls sits are one of those classics that you may remember from many a school gym class. However, its popularity and longevity are the results of its effectiveness. Wall sits are excellent for toning and strengthening your legs and glutes and engaging your core.
Les Mills BODYPUMP™
BODYPUMP™ is a studio fitness class created by the legendary Les Mills brand. Like M7: HIIT, this studio fitness class is an intense full-body pump indeed. It’s an inspirational barbell-based class featuring invigorating music and terrific instruction to tone, tighten, and sculpt your whole body. Look for first-rate health clubs with gyms in Salinas and elsewhere in California with a BODYPUMP™ studio fitness class.
Speed Skaters
Speed skaters, like ski jumps, are a classic and effective exercise that mimics an iconic winter sport and can be accomplished in the health club with nothing more than an exercise mat. Speed skaters involve bounding back and forth laterally while crossing your arms in front of and behind your body alternately while doing so. It is an excellent option for toning your lower body and increasing balance.
Core Conditioning
Understandably, training regimens for the ski season tend to focus on the lower body. However, it’s important to remember how much your core is engaged for both skiing and snowboarding. That’s why you should make a point to choose a health club that offers a core conditioning studio fitness class to help get you where you need to be for ski season. Plus, core conditioning studio fitness classes are friendly to all fitness levels.
