Performance

To ski better you need to improve technique. Technique is improved by having the correct body alignment/muscle balance, having the strength to produce turns when you want to in challenging conditions and the stamina to do this all day and all week. A specific ski programme of activity tailored to your individual needs can do all of the above.

Safety

Being conditioned specifically for skiing will not only reduce the risk of injury it will also make sure your body and heart is ready for what can be a very high intensity and stressful activity. Your body adapts very quickly to be efficient for what it needs to do. This means that if you sit at a desk or in the your car much of the day your body will adapt to be very efficient at sitting. If you then charge out onto the ski slopes, chasing people perhaps younger and fitter than you, your body can react badly to this unaccustomed physical stress and can be dangerous. You need to undertake specific exercises that replicate the actions and intensities of a ski holiday to prepare your body for anything that a ski holiday throws at you.

Enjoyment

A little bit of stiffness the next day isn’t going to impair you holiday but it will make you more susceptible to injury and less fluid in your skiing performance. Couple this with struggling for breath to walk to the lift in the morning, no upper body strength to carry your skis, not fit enough to pole push the flat and a ski holiday sounds a bit of a chore not the best week or two of the year! Get fit and you will enjoy the holiday so much more and be a lot healthier in the process.
