Getting fit for skiing
Started by NellyPS in Ski Fitness, 510 Replies, discussing Tignes and Val Thorens
I'll tell you what ladies (and gents), I've discovered that hula hooping on the wii fit is not just a game :-P

Hold your stomach in and it works the core muscles, squat slightly and it works your quads, try to beat your record every time and it leaves you exhausted therefore working on your cv. Genius.

I gotta say, I've been doing it a few days now and I can't believe the difference in my stomach and waistline. It's my new love :P

Definitely a skill worth working on. I cringe when I see people poling over long distances. I can't imagine how hot and sweaty that must be. Yet some people seem to think skating is for athletes, when in fact it's a lot less work.

I've found that, as long as you keep something up ie: not being a sloth, fitness comes back pretty quickly [she says hopefully :shock:]
