Week 6, Last Week!

This week was the last week of ski fitness before we have an unload week and do 3 more weeks of sport specific training and then go into maintenance training for the winter. Day one this week we focused on targeting the hamstrings through balance doing single leg deadlifts, the quads especially in skiing become over developed and a lot of times the hamstrings are neglected. I also introduced everyone to overhead squats, this in my opinion is a great exercise, but very difficult and you want to make sure you have a strong core and base. It targets a lot of important muscles. You use your shoulders, core, back, legs while doing this exercise. The next 3 weeks I would like to continue to progress this exercise.

Day 2 we was the last day so I added a bunch of stations that included sled drag, bosu squat jumps, dumbell crawl and many others. I called it the best of ski fit 2011! We then finally reached the end of our leg blaster progression, which was the most rewarding. The class started with 4 mini leg blasters and that made them very sore, this week we did 6 fulls which was very rewarding to see everyone be able to cruise right though the fulls. We have one week off and then start again Thanksgiving week.
