Excercises to help you stay ski fit over the summer

Wherever you're lounging around this summer, be it in the Caribbean or Carlisle, remember the winter season is not too far around the corner.

It's worth keeping ski fit over the summer as not to wimp out on your first run or even day and make the most of your time in the snow!

Here's a few exercises to keep you ticking over during the summer months:

1. Romanian dead-lift: Using a bar bell, bend your knees slightly, then lean forward with the barbell  flexing at the hips then push your hips forward and return to your starting position. This will also help to prevent ACL injuries which are common amongst skiers by strengthening the knee joint.

2. Leg press- this is a simple excercise and one anyone can do in the gym, great for skiing. Set the weight to about 70-80% of what you can press, slowly lower the plate down with one leg and then push up with both, this will mimic the movements we make when we turn.

Stay tuned for more exercises to keep ski fit over the summer...
