Skiing and Snowboarding Exercises

It will help you to enjoy your holiday if you can do some preparation to prevent injury - you will need to be strong and flexible to get the most from your skiing trip. Try these simple exercises:

Wall Slide

Lean back against a wall and then slowly bend your knees so that you slide up and down the wall. This will help strengthen your thigh muscles.

Calf Stretch

Lean against a wall with one foot in front of the other and your back leg straight. Feel the stretch in the back calf. Hold for 20-30 seconds.

Thigh Stretch

Stretch your thigh muscles by standing on one leg. Bend the other knee and hold onto the ankle. Hold for 20-30 seconds.

Hamstring Stretch

Put one foot up on a step and gently bend forward.
