Nice routine but it’s not clear on how many sets and repetitions
K.I.S.S. Walk up and down hills and climb up and down stairs with weights in your hands doing curls. Climb stairs sideways facing in both directions. Great for understanding the weight change in skiing.
Good,but why not go through all exercises in real time rather than doing one set and then saying don’t forget the other side, then having to pause before carrying on. Doh!
After reading all this comments I don’t feel so bad after all!! Got to do all the first 4 ( struggling sometimes) but had to almost stop on the last one! So that wasn’t so bad after all!!!��
Do one of these for figure skating. I am trying to get back into the sport after taking a break and need to be in better shape especially my legs
I loved the way the camera cut the exerciser up into parts, like a chicken. A close-up of his legs; a close-up of his upper body; there was even a close-up of the kettle ball-I got a lot out of that! And the close-ups of the instructor were excellent. Why should you show a whole person exercising, so that the camera does not break him into parts, but lets the viewer watch a person working out? Oh now, chop him up into parts and show what a clever camera operator you are!
The first day I did this I felt like I was going to collapse half way through. Then I got delayed onset muscle soreness (normal after a new routine). The advice said to work through the soreness so, I tried this routine a couple of days later, and it was actually easier. Amazing how quick the body starts to adapt to new workouts!
So for anyone aching after the first time, don’t get put off, get stuck in!
Wow, I thought I was in decent shape until I tried this! Makes it more fun pretending I’m on the slope!
How do you know your back is straight when doing the Russian twist?
I started doing this workout early in the ski season this year, and it made a huge difference.
I wanted to throw up after 15 minutes:/ One hour passed and I’m still feeling sick, too many jumps
It was great! Perfect for skiers, I’d do it again for sure!
This is amazing. I am in my late 50’s and having knee problems. Last year I thought i would not be able to ski. My osteopath told me the muscles around my knees were weak so I started this video VERY GENTLY at first. Sometimes I did double legs on the single and jumped in one spot. The first time I didn’t finish the video! Eventually I did and last year skied (for the first time) from 9am 4pm in powder (the most snow in 30 years). I recommend this for anyone with knee problems like mine. Now I can bend down and leap I’m back doing slow gentle running, I feel more stable walking…and I can ski!
It is imperative that when you do rotation drills that the head stays forward as lower body rotats
to avoid rotation in the ski turn. While skiing the shoulders should be facing down hill. Have fun Dick Paschke Aspen Co
The guy in this video makes the agility jumps look so easy. They’re really hard!!!
how many calories does this workout burn. i just tried it out for a workout because i dont ski, but it was a good workout!
Crazy clip. Terrific vid.
My dad had been an overweight gent. He went from 279 lbs of fat to 203lbs of total lean muscle mass. Shit’s extreme! I just joined myself because I wish to expand my entire physique. He made use of the Muscle Building Bible (Look in Google)…
I appreciate you trying to help people. But you have a terrible squat form.
If you can keep up with his tempo, you’re already in shape…
Great thank you. What are some gym work outs we can do to get in shape for skiing? I run a lot on the treadmill and use the bicycles but I’m not sure if they directly help me be physically ready for skiing. Thanks
Will this prepare me for skiing possibe in 7 days time hahaha I know ive let this late and im not in the best shape tbh not fat but got a little flab on the stomach and i get breathless a bit earlier cus of my asma any tips for me thanks
I love you to check out my SpinGym channel and see a unique way to get fit that you can add to your fitness conditioning… thanks and happy new year!
Hey guys, i wanna know when do you rest and for how long. For example after every set, or after completing a set of the two or three exercises in the group. Thanks in advance!
done, going skiing in March, going to use this to get my ski legs.:-) Thanks for the video, liked and subscribed.
Actually really enjoyed this one better than the snowboarding conditioning, no idea why but I am drenched in sweat and feeling amazing. Thank you Daniel and Fitness Blender! No days off!
Really, really great workout, man. I could not imagine to find something as awesome as this before a few days of Sunrise to sunset skiing. Thanks a lot and God Bless!
happy to join your channel with a big like…been following your trainings to prepare for our coming ski holiday…. fingers crossed:))
SUper workout
Da komme ich ins Schwitzen, trainiere meine Muskeln und was viel wichtiger ist mein Gleichgewichtssinn
Thanks
I like this video and will try out some of the exercises and get back to you about the effect. I like the way you included the sun salutation at the beginning of the video.Thanks
Hey Guys, when you say add in a 30-60 min cardio routine, does that mean straight after this? Or at another day of the week? What is a good weekly regime to get me ready for the slopes. Thanks:)
Added this 1X a week to my meager workout routine for about 6 weeks before skiing, and what a difference! Also dramatically improved my cardio endurance during my runs. When I went skiing over the holidays I skied the best I had since I had my daughter! Also, couldn’t even get through all the sets the first time I did this, and even now I need extra breaks. This 32 min workout takes me closer to 40-45 min to get through.
@TheAlacransilla Glad you like it. It’s definitely a good workout!
I’ve had ski related knee injuries in the past and was looking for exercises to build knee strength for ski season. This workout definitely targets the muscles that protect your knees and is great for balance and stability, so I think continuing with this workout through the fall will be really helpful. I would not recommend it to anyone with fresh knee injuries as there is a lot of twisting and impact on the knees!
Hi, have you discovered Nifty Fat Blaster? (Google it) You will find out about the serious crimes we commit against our bodies. With Nifty Fat Blaster, you will discover how to lose weight quickly.
This is a lot more cardio than the man makes it look. I’m breathing heavily through all the slow exercises as well! It would be better if he did all the exercises along with us, and got sweaty, instead of just repeating the recordings!
Hey there, have you heard about “MUSCLEader” (look on Google)? There you will find a useful free video featuring how to gain noteworthy lean muscle quickly whilst eliminating excess fat as well. Brandon and hundreds of guys with the same goal enjoyed great success because of this strategy. It may help you as well…
I am sure the best workouts ebooks you can download from Unflexal. Just google Unflexal:D
Do you recommend these exercises to people who had an anterior crutiate legament tear?
@TheAlacransilla That’s awesome, we really appreciate that. Word of mouth is the best!
THANK YOU!! I’m 58 years old and for the past 5 years we have gone to Colorado for a week of skiing and I have had to take off day 3 or 4 due to severe muscle soreness despite conditioning prior. This year, I did this workout 2-3 x weekly x 6 weeks and also added actual stair climbing as well I just returned from our trip this year and I was able to ski 6 days in a row with minimal muscle soreness! I was SO HAPPY. I recommend this workout to anyone who wants to feel good on the slopes I kept hearing the trainer while out on the mountain making sure my legs were responsive to what I wanted them to do. I’ll do this workout again next year!
Aw man, my knees… I admit it is hard, but I could push through it if it weren’t for my right knee… started about a year ago
During the whole workout I was just swearing at the guy cause he was making me suffer but at the end I was like oh yea this was good thanks man
Fitness Blender ROCKS!!! Thanks so much for this wonderful mix of workouts. You guys are doing your part to be a solution to the obesity epidemic.
I’m going skiing in 5 weeks so thought I’d look for some workout videos and tried this last night. I told my wife that I was sweating like a fat lad in a chip shop after doing it, which is ironic because she reminded me that I am a fat lad and I do work in a chip shop…
when the video started I thought the guy had a cutout of himself in the background. then it moved!!!
Thank you soo much for this video!!!!!! I started this workout a month before I left for my ski trip so glad I did!!
