Get In Shape For Your Ski Trip!

Read Mary's story on Her Fitness Hut's Blog about how she didn't wait until January to get started on her way to reaching her fat loss goals!

First off, I recommend that you adopt a "lifestyle of fitness" and not just a short "fix-me-up" exercise program!



I also realize that you can get started exercising in different ways....some people have never "really tried" to stay fit (for whatever reason) and they don't know "what they're missing" with the healthy and feel-good effects that regular exercise gives!

I'm not a skier (I prefer snow tubing or sledding) but you will have a better time on your expensive trip if you are in physical condition!

Here's a tip: you are more likely to get a serious knee injury like, a knee ACL tear, when you ski instead of snowboard....just something for you to think about!

Get your body in shape to ski with a full-body strength program and interval cardio training. If you have not been active, get your doctor's clearance, and start My Fitness Hut's Fat Blaster Athletic Training System! Exercising for 3-4 weeks before your ski trip can make a huge difference! And, you will have lost some fat and weight by then!

Some good exercises to prepare you for skiing:

Core Strength: planks, side planks, ab ball rollouts, ab ball jack knifes, bridges, MB chops, supermans and mountain climbers

General Strength: squats (1-leg and 2-leg), deadlift, lunges, step ups, bentover rows, bench press, shoulder press, triceps dips

Ski-Specific Strength: slalom jump rope, ski jumps, side lunges, transverse lunges, long jumps, depth jumps and squat jumps

Happy and safe skiing---or snowboarding!

Do you need help with meal planning? Don't wait until January to do something about your eating habits! Start taking steps now!
