How to Train for Skiing || REI

You don’t want to call it quits early on your first day out skiing because your sore thighs and legs are screaming for après ski just a few runs in. A preseason ski conditioning workout can help you ski better, stay out longer and have more fun. In this video, Dr. Sam shows you eight exercises you can do at home to strengthen your lower-body muscles and improve your mobility and balance to help you control your skis and support areas, such as your knees, that are more prone to skiing injuries.

In this video, we’ll show you the following exercises:
Walking Lunge with Rotation—0:42
Hip Roll—1:12
Lunge Squat—1:55
Lateral Ski Jump—2:22
Chop—3:03
Lift—3:39
Bridge with Adductor Squeeze—4:16
Hip Clock—5:04
