Quads and core muscles are the ones to work on to help with "fitness". Funny this topic was raised, as I started my "skiing fitness campaign" 3 weeks ago, early September.
100 crunches, 25 leg lifts of 4 different sorts, and 50 each of 2 different type of upper body/abdominal stretches.
I also find keeping out of the pub as often helps.

Tony, I'm a natural athlete and I can't be bothered with doing all those crunches unless they are covered in chocolate :wink: :wink:
You know, I just KNEW you would turn that into a Crunchie somehow!
I know predictable :wink:
Thats fine caron if your slim but when you're a fat bloke its extremely hard work :oops: :oops: :oops:
Do I remember rightly that you were losing weight on a diet?
It is still dropping off by a pound a month another stone to go before I reach the target of 12st 7lb :wink:

I see a lot of recommendations for yoga and, this year, the ski and snowboard mag has got very basic yoga moves each month. Fortunately for me, it's my exercise of choice, I also hate gyms.
My other exercise is cycling. If you really want to push yourself, cycle in the highest gear and stay seated going up hills. It bloody kills :shock: but works the right muscles.
