Skiing Workout

http://www.FatBuddaFitness.com

It's ski season people and if you're lucky enough to enjoy skiing and have the means to do so then you'll know all about how tough it is on your legs. Crouching down in a skiing position as you glide down the slopes really takes it out of your quads. So how do you prepare yourself for a skiing holiday to ensure you enjoy the 'white week' rather than spending most of it nursing sore muscles? You tackle Fat Buddha Fitness's Isometric Week Skiing Workout, that's what! This workout, which involves a mix of isometric and dynamic exercises, works particularly on your thighs. But we're not just interested in helping good skiers, we also want the bad ones to be prepared. So there's a certain amount of upper body work for those who are going to need to haul themselves regularly back onto their feet! I suggest you do about 5 sets of this circuit.

Squat (feet together) hold for 10-seconds + 10 squat repetitions
Side-squat hold x 10-sec + 10 reps (feet to left)
Side-quat hold x 10-sec + 10 reps (feet to right)
Front broomstick (or any weight) hold x 10-sec + 10 x chest pumps
Above head broom hold x 10-sec + 10 x shoulder presses
Side broom hold x 10-sec + 10 x arm raises (both sides)
Knee-up hold x 10-sec + 10 knee-up reps (left and right)
Side power-ups (with feet together) x 10 (both sides)

Enjoy that and come back next week to see our range of spiral workouts!
