Ski-ing

Postby GymBunny on Sun Aug 31, 2008 7:54 pm

Been ages since I've been ski-ing, years in fact. But now that I'm Germany based and have friends living in Switzerland its looking like a possibility.

Obviously things like squats would help. But what other exercises would be great to train up for some snow time?

Doing cardio on a cross trainer sounds too obvious... does it?

What are car park lunges? Other than the possibility of doing lunges for the length of a carpark :?
