Whats the best way(exercises) to get in shape for skiing in a little less that 2 months?

Answer 1

Squats and lunges would be a good way to get your leg muscles ready.  Running for stamina.

Answer 2

run, mountain bike, and take a dance class. they help get you flexible

Answer 3

Mountain biking would be a good way.  Put it on the gear that makes you push the hardest.  Riding a bicycle without gears also would be good.  It also builds cardiovascular fitness.

For actual exercises, you good try running a few laps every day to increase your aerobic strength.  Be sure to take the stairs as often as possible in buildings.  Stair climbing is a good way to build strength in the knees and thighs.

One stationary exercise that is good is to stand against a wall, with your heels about three inches from the bottom of it.  Bend your knees until they are parallel to the floor and hold the pose for as many seconds as you can.  Try it for 20 to 60 seconds every day.  Hold the position for a little longer every day.

Answer 4

run 20 miles, and bench 300 pounds

Answer 5

Use an orbital exerciser - I have one, and at 69 I've never felt finer. I bought it when I turned 66, was overweight and suffering asthma. My weight is now where it should be, and, with the exception of my asthma pump, I don't take the huge amounts of asthma medication any longer.

Answer 6

Get up away from the computer, start running at least 20 minutes a day, jump rope 15 minutes a day, swim hard 1/2 hour a day, and ski 8 hours a day. After 60 days of this you should have lost 10-20 pounds and finally be in shape to start skiing all day long.

  The only way to really be in shape for ski season is to ski hard.  There is no other exercise group to condition all of the muscles that you will use when skiing.  If race training, get out at least 4 hours a day of hard exercise.  Since you have 2 months to get ready, sore muscles and over exertion will not set you back, just slow you down for a day or two.

  To start easy, use the jump rope for 15 minutes a day, then run and swim,  add dancing to get ready for the Apres ski activities and ski hard.
