About to go skiing??

Many of you are about to go skiing soon.  Even if you are a great skier, it is really important to have laid some fitness foundations and have prepared your body to enable it to cope with the power and endurance that is required.  As we get older, it becomes more important that we look after ourselves to protect ourselves from injury.  Going from sitting at a desk all day every day, to a week or two of skiing can create havoc on an unconditioned body.  Check out these two videos from Mark Leyland that will be a great starting point.  Build on these gradually.  It is important to see that these movements are pretty close to what we all do when we ski.  Noting is fixed and it works the whole kinetic chain.

Please be safe and do get hurt.  If you do, call us on 020 8605 2323 and we will be able to help.
