Maison Sport has teamed up with Dr Greg Louie, also known as ‘The Ski PT’ – a professional ski physical therapist and US ski team physical therapy assistant – to create a free bespoke 6-week at-home ski fitness guide packed with the best exercises to improve your ski fitness and overall ski performance.

No matter your skiing level, improved ski fitness will allow you to have the best possible experience on the slopes and ski harder for longer, with a reduced risk of injury! Read on for more information on The Maison Sport Ski Fit Guide and a link to receive the guide for free so you can get started on your ski fitness journey today!  

What Does the Maison Sport Ski Fit Guide Include? 

Our 6-week Ski Fit Guide includes 3 workouts to complete per week to get you ready for the ski season ahead. Each workout focuses on muscle groups and movement patterns directly related to improving your ski performance and reducing injury risk. The programme is designed so that it progresses in difficulty as you complete each week. Each workout is approximately 30-40 minutes in length and comes with an illustration and video to demonstrate the correct technique. We have also included an exercise glossary, where you will be able to read about the exercises included, their application to skiing and common mistakes to avoid. 

Is the Maison Sport Ski Fit Guide Suited for Everyone?

The Maison Sport Ski Fit Guide is suited for people of all levels of fitness and skiing experience. The guide is designed to progress in difficulty each week, so if you are struggling with any of the exercises you can regress the exercise to the one featured in the previous week, if needed. With exercise variations to choose from, you can personalise the programme to your fitness level and goals. No gym equipment is needed, so you can perform the workouts at home! As with any form of exercise, please follow our Ski Fit Guide at your own pace to ensure a safe and effective workout. Both Maison Sport and Greg Louie, The Ski PT, will be available to answer any queries that you may have about the guide via Instagram.

Do I Need to Get Ski Fit? 

Skiing is a physically demanding sport that requires a good level of fitness as well as strength and flexibility. The phrase ski legs exists for a reason! Skiing uses muscles that you may have never used before, or don’t use that often (other than on the slopes), so strengthening these will make skiing feel a lot easier. It will also help to reduce muscle fatigue and your risk of injury. Improved ski fitness will allow you to better maintain your technique and cover more ground each day so that you can make the most of your ski pass! 

How Do I Get Ski Fit?

Getting ski fit for your holiday doesn’t mean you need to spend months in the gym doing an intense, time-consuming fitness routine. With our ski fitness guide, you can get ski fit in just 6 weeks and you can do it all from the comfort of your own home! 

Our Ski Fit Guide is designed to prepare you for your ski holiday so that you can make the most of your time on the slopes. You’ll need to put in the work, but if you follow this expert programme you’ll be sure to see and feel a difference in your skiing – no more achy legs holding you back! 

What Are the Best Exercises for Skiing? 

To improve your skiing, it’s essential to build strength, stability and endurance through targeted exercises. We have selected exercises that will improve your balance, stability and strength so you will be able to maintain a strong and stable posture whilst skiing. The exercises included in our Ski Fit Guide range from the basics of a bodyweight squat to more complex jumping and twisting movements which will help you to absorb the forces of turns, manage bumps and changes in terrain and help to reduce the risk of injury when skiing. Some of our favourite ski-focused exercises from the programme include lateral lunges, 180° jumps and skater jumps.
