Preparing for winter sports, exercises to strengthen the hamstrings and quadriceps.

The winter sports season begins and you have not done any sport for a long time, let alone ski ... It's time to prepare yourself!

The ideal muscle preparation should begin at least four weeks before departure. Skiing or any other sport that requires fitness and muscle and heart preparation.

How to prepare physically to go skiing?

The ideal sport is swimming. It is a sport that allows you to smooth muscle and improve endurance. Work in the water jigging on the back and belly.
Jogging, cycling or walking (with three-quarters of an hour three times a week) are also good sports preparation. They will strengthen the muscles in your legs, and shall develop your endurance and your aerobic fitness.

To strengthen the core muscles are the hamstrings hamstrings (muscles on the back of the thigh that allow knee flexion and internal rotation). To strengthen your hamstring leg muscles, you can do this exercise:

Install you lie on your back, hands flat on the floor, arms at your sides and knees bent. Then peel off the buttocks of the floor pushing it on the feet and back down. Repeat this movement. The goal is not to go as fast as possible but to do the exercise correctly and length. Normally you must feel that it's getting hot!

Prioritize hamstring but remember the quadriceps (front of thigh) you can strengthen by exercise of the chair:

Back against the wall, feet forward, you go down until your knees are at 90 degrees (you do the chair). Hold this position and breathe! You can spice up the exercise by taking a weight in each hand to increase the load.

Preparedness exercises you will do in the month before your week in the mountains will help you find a sufficient tone, muscle fatigue limit (source of many falls) and aches.
