Newbie wanting fitness advice
Started by User in Ski Fitness, 8 Replies
Hello!

I am new to this forum (and the art of skiing/boarding) so hopefully I'll get some good advice from you experts.

I'm off to Canada in December with my husband and a friend told me that you need to be fit to go skiing.

Would anyone like to elaborate on this for me? Haha.

Do I need to be hitting the gym for weeks before we go? What level of fitness will get me 'by'?

I wouldn't class myself as fit generally, and I'm perhaps a tad overweight for my height so I imagine it would be better to do something about it before we go rather than hit the slopes and be too tired do anything.

Any advice appreciated!

P.S - I tried to post in the beginners forum but it wouldn't let me for some reason. If anyone could post a list of things I need to buy/take that would be fab!

Muchos gracias!
