FitSkiing: Your Guide for Peak Skiing Fitness, Second Edition

Many people ski themselves into shape when the season begins and can barely make it down the mountain without gasping for air. Others risk injury, while many wander aimlessly, wondering what exercises will get them in better shape when they hit the snow. FitSkiing has taken the guesswork out of the ski conditioning program. FitSkiing was created because there was a lack of strength and conditioning resources for skiers. Some magazines have produced helpful articles on getting into shape for skiing, however skiers lack one solid conditioning resource for their time off the slopes. This guide includes over 100 photos and illustrations, and over 80 exercises for both beginners and advanced skiers.
