Strength Training For Backcountry Skiing
Hey Skiing Chicks!
I hope you enjoyed last month’s training tip: Uphill Training for Backcountry Skiing workout because now it’s time to add in strength for the downhill skiing part.
After a month of building uphill stamina in your legs and lungs, we need to build a reserve of strength and power for the downhill.
All the exercises in this Downhill Training for Backcountry Skiing workout link to videos of the movements. The full workout takes just over an hour with a few minutes extra for cool down. As always, if you’re unsure about a movement, hire a professional coach. A coach can help you train properly and stay injury free.
Ideally, plan strength workouts after rest days and one or two times a week, depending on your time and your fitness.
Commit to this workout 1-2 days a week for 4-6 weeks and enjoy the benefits come December! (Or whenever ski season begins for you.)
