Skiing · Preview
Setup
Check your boot and binding fit, and wear a helmet and goggles. Check the snow conditions and choose a slope that suits your level.
Start phase
Start on a gentle slope with your knees and ankles slightly bent. Keep your weight centered and link turns slowly.
End phase
Reduce your speed on the last run and stop safely at the bottom. Take off your skis in a safe area, then check your workout duration.
Target muscles
Turning and controlling speed work your cardiovascular system and lower body. Your core keeps you balanced on changing snow.
Common mistakes
Do not lean back; keep your weight over the center of your skis. Keep your distance from others and avoid stopping where you cannot be seen.
Breathing
Breathe steadily through your turns instead of holding your breath. Rest at the side of the slope if your breathing gets fast.
Coach tip
Record the time spent skiing. Do not enter the number of runs or distance.
