Warm Up

Preparation
Use the exercises described here to prepare for your coming ski holiday. Each session consists of three elements:
  • warm-up
  • exercise circuits
  • stretch
Each session should take under an hour. Aim to train at least twice a week during the two months prior to your ski holiday, building the frequency during the last month.
 

Running
Never start training without a 15 minute warm-up.

Jog gently on the spot for five minutes to get your circulation going.

This will increase the blood flow to your muscles, warming and relaxing them.
 

Stretching
Then stretch the major muscle groups to prepare them for more vigorous use. The following exercises are static stretches, so there should be no bouncing, no getting out of breath, no straining.

Hold each position for 10 seconds, and make sure you feel the stretch in the correct muscles. Pay particular attention to your back and knees, since these are vulnerable to injury.

Warming up does not mean sitting around in the sun!
 

Injuries
If you have an existing injury about which you are worried, it is always better to protect it than to re-injure it.

If in doubt about an old injury or a medical condition, consult your doctor or physiotherapist.
