Work Capacity and Core



Tuesday we focused mainly on work capacity and some basic core exercises. Work capacity is the bodies ability to perform work at different intensities and for different durations. So the class did about 20 minutes of continual exercises with no break. We did this for time, so the class really had to push themselves out of their comfort zone and transition from anaerobic to aerobic exercise at different times. This is great for continual nonstop runs and also being able to push yourself longer mentally as well. Core I believe is the most important part to skiing because it keeps everything tied together. The turn will be a lot more powerful with a strong core. Also this protects your back and knees, the more stable your core is the more powerful you will be as a skier!
