For this warmup, you will optimally prepare yourself for skiing, suitable for every level. With this warmup, you specifically activate the muscles you need on the slopes and get your body moving. Especially when skiing, it is important to always be ready – so repeat this routine every time you get off the lift, not just at the start of the day. The exercises are simple and easy to remember, so you can do them anywhere, even without your phone. let’s get started. --- We start by marching in place. Stand upright, feet hip-width apart. Alternately lift your knees toward your hips and swing your arms loosely as if you were walking. This gets your circulation going and warms up your whole body. Keep your core active and your upper body upright. Let’s go. [Pause 15s] Keep marching, now lift your knees a little higher if you can. Keep your shoulders relaxed and breathe deeply. [Pause 15s] --- Now come alternating side lunges. Stand with your feet wide apart, wider than hip-width. Shift your weight to the right, bend your right knee, and push your hips back, keeping your left leg straight. Return to the center and repeat on the left side. This activates the inner and outer thighs, glutes, and hips – all important for ski control. Let’s start. [Pause 15s] Continue switching from side to side, as deep as comfortable. Make sure to keep your upper body upright and both feet flat on the ground. [Pause 15s] --- Now we do standing glute contractions. Stand hip-width apart, knees slightly bent. Push your hips back a little, then contract your glutes and bring your hips forward. Keep your core tight and your chest lifted. This activates the glute muscles for stability and strength on the slopes. Let’s begin. [Pause 15s] Keep going, contract your glutes each time you bring your hips forward. Feel the muscles working. [Pause 15s] --- Next are dynamic squats. Stand shoulder-width apart. Go into a squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, keeping your upper body upright. When coming up, contract your glutes at the top. Move at a steady, controlled pace – this strengthens your legs and core for turns and uneven terrain while skiing. Let’s go. [Pause 15s] Continue with the squats, focus on smooth movement and strong posture. Try to keep your weight on your heels. [Pause 15s] --- Now we warm up the core with trunk rotations. Stand upright, feet hip-width apart, arms extended at shoulder height. Rotate your upper body to the right, then to the left, keeping your hips facing forward. This mobilizes the spine and prepares you for better balance and mobility on the slopes. [Pause 15s] Keep rotating from side to side, move in a controlled way. Let your gaze follow your hands to enhance the stretch. [Pause 15s] --- You are now warmed up and ready for the slopes. Feel how your body is more alert and prepared. It’s best to repeat this routine every time you get off the lift – not just once a day. The exercises are so simple that you can remember them and keep your muscles always ready, even without your phone. Your body will thank you: with more control, less tension, and better performance. Remember to include a short cool-down with stretches after skiing to promote recovery. This way you stay fit and can recover faster. Enjoy your day on the mountain and feel free to return to this routine anytime. Stay motivated and have fun skiing!
