I cycle loads. I also drink lots of wine and eat too much.

On balance, I'm doing ok.... :D


Well done! You're doing great not just ok :-)

I'm taking Dave Mac's advice and I WILL use my get fit for skiing book this year. It has plenty of exercises for strengthening the necessary parts of my body. In fact, I'll brush the dust off and start now. Life's too busy once October starts to be starting exercise plans. Much easier to continue with one I've already fathomed.


Cycling does it for me, better dust the bike down :lol:

This has been a bad summer for doing anything outside. Temps have mainly been in the low/mid 30s, but with dew points in the 20s, it's like living in a hot wet sponge :(

I think there's only been a few day's in the last couple of months where we haven't had the AC running. Might have to join a fitness centre next year.

because I'm so inclined .....

I have done absolutely nothing to get fit this summer, as per usual. I will spend the 6 weeks prior to the 1st weeks skiing doing sit ups and working on my quads, and thats enough for me to get a quality weeks skiing done.
You dont need to be superman to have a ski holiday.
If you are doing a season, or tons of off piste skiing like Bandit does, maybe you do.
