TRX front squats. This exercise is great for strengthening your leg muscles used for skiing and replicates the action as you do while taking your hips, knees and ankles through the skiing motion.

TRX Side Plank. Fantastic for strengthening your core to help you assist with the turns in your skiing. With this exercise you are training your oblique muscles which will keep you strong in your twisting and turning during your skiing.

Squat Jump

This is a high intensity exercise getting you ready for the intensity involved in skiing. This exercise will add strength to your body making you able to ski for longer without fatiguing.

TRX Lunge

Great for balance and can challenge your body by making you gain control of the movement-crucial for any skier. Your core also becomes engaged in this exercise which is an extra advantage in keeping you stable.

Try performing each exercise for a set number of reps e.g. 15-20 or a set time e.g. 30 seconds moving straight on to the next one. After completing the circuit, catch your breath and repeat 2-3 times.
