Leg Workout

Ski Conditioning, Expert

This workout is a step beyond what we did last month.  No matter how much power and strength you have you also must have the power endurance to thrive an entire day on the slopes.  This workout will tax not only your muscular system but your cardiovascular system as well.  You will superset each exercise with a 30-50m plate push.  If you have a sled you can use it and pull the weight as well.  You will do each jumping set to failure, then do the plate push  with each successive push should be a litte heavier, and return to jumping with no rest.  You will do three sets of each jump and push.  After each exercise you take one minute break.  Make sure you do a quality warmup prior to this workout.  Trying to do explosive exercises when the muscles are cold can lead to injury.
