Designer snow gear, perfect technique and a super fit body … A lot of people don’t step foot near a ski slope because they don’t have all — or any — of these things. But here are some ways for regular people to plan a snow holiday that’s affordable and fun.
Squats with your feet shoulder-width apart (or wider for snowboarders)
Step ups, alternating your lead leg
Lunges
Calf raises (stand on the edge of a step on the balls of your feet, drop heels then raise them up)
Wall sits (with knees bent not quite at a right angle)
Push ups
For flexibility, stretch your quads (front of thigh), hamstrings (back of thigh), triceps (back of upper arm), hip flexors and groin.
