Winter may be\u00a0edging towards its bitter end but there are still a few more weeks left of ski season. Those lucky enough to make it to the slopes this year might be dreaming of graceful glides down snowy peaks, but skiing means exercise and it can take a toll on...
Trigg recommends building leg strength by focusing on single-leg movements with exercises such as lunges, single-leg deadlifts and Bulgarian split squats. She recommends you keep reps high to build muscular endurance as well as strength and, for movements that are new to you, start off using bodyweight only.
‘Try three to five sets of ten reps per leg,’ she says, ‘increasing the weight every week. Remember, though, control the tempo and focus on full, quality range before increasing weight!’ When it comes to building your core strength, try plank variations such as high, low, and side plank holds. Even better are core exercises where you rotate, twist and/or challenge your body’s centre of gravity. Doing this helps to replicate the kind of uneven and unexpected terrain you will be faced with on the slopes. Exercises such as side plank rotations, low plank oblique twists, Russian twists and single-leg cross-body crunches are also great.
‘Try a circuit of three to five rounds on four exercises, working for 45 seconds per exercise and 15 seconds’ rest in-between,’ says Trigg. Whether it means biking to work or trying a spin class at the gym, cycling is a great way to build lower body strength and improve cardiovascular fitness. You’ll find that having stronger glute muscles and improved overall endurance will make it easier to stay on the slopes longer.
