Yes indeed. Almost all leg muscles in one go. If you haven't run that distance before walk/run it - run for say 5 minutes then walk for two. Build up until you can beat 12 minutes and then you won't have to walk at all. |

You don't have to do them all at once.
Whilst you are watching TV do a set of 10 every time the adverts are on. |

This is an exercise plan I would recomend for a quick fitness boost for skiing but will work just as well for boarding. Since you have about 7 weeks use this as your weekly routine.
Monday: 5K run Tuesday: 50 x crunches, 50 x push ups (or as many as you can of both) Wednesday: 5K run Thursday: 50 x crunches, 50 x push ups (or as many as you can of both) Friday: 2K run Weekends: Free There are other exercise regimes which are far more skiing/boarding specific but running will help your cardio and stamina whilst push ups/crunches will help your core stability. Also it isn't too taxing and should only take up a maximum of 40 minutes per day. |

Tell us more about the Hobbit. It sounds like fun. Will be in La Plagne next week so will be over Les Arc at some point. |

There have been a lot of questions lately about the right length of ski for a person.
It got me to thinking about my own skis. My skis are 167 in length, I am 6ft, 13st, and an advanced intermediate. Should there be a certain length of ski for me? So is there a formula or rule of thumb for working out lengths? Or even a minimum/maximum length people should use for their height, wieght, ability etc? |

Most boarders practice riding fakie. Open up your stance and give it a bash. If it doesn't work out at least you will be more confident in fakie.
