WINTER SPORTS, IT'S READY!

Everything that you need to think for a successful holiday

  Ready to go skiing? Remember that it is essential to prepare yourself! To make things easier, here is our checklist of things you need to think before departure.

Physical preparation 

  Skiing requires good physical condition. She will put your body to the test, especially if you do not have the habit of playing sports. Thus, it is essential to prepare yourself physically before you hit the slopes!

For endurance 

  A day of skiing requires endurance. Given that efforts are split - an exercise phase, a resting phase, alternating - we advise you to organize some training sessions before the departure, during which you can switch a quick run five minutes and a walking pace also supported five minutes. Concatenate these series three or four times in a row, then stretch your legs and relax!

  If running is not your thing, you can also opt for swimming: alternate high speed 10 lengths and 10 lengths at ease. Repeat three times these series (60 in total length).

For muscles 

  If you do not have the habit of exercising, we advise you to strengthen your molets, your thighs, your glutes and your abdominal belt. Here are some exercises to practice two or three times a week until your departure:
calves: on foot, climb the peak and descend (50 times on each foot);
thighs: press your back against a wall and position yourself as if you were sitting on a chair. Hold for one minute.

  glutes: Lie on your side, then climb down the upper leg 50 times. Switch sides and repeat with the other leg 50 times also.

  the lap belt: Lie on your side, lean on the forearm and foot touching the ground to loosen your pelvis, keeping your back straight. Hold for 30 seconds and then switch sides. If you perform this exercise easily, also raise your leg does not touch the ground.

To balance 

  Stay a few minutes on one leg and then the other. Once the exercise seems too easy, make it on soft ground or eyes closed.
