I've come up with a workout I think should help in skiing.
It's based on some Beachbody workouts in a circuit of blocks of two weeks. I will probably modify this for a longer period at some point, more like 10 weeks ideally with different phases but for now I will try this for the next 3-4, before my Utah trip and see how things go.
Week 1
Day 1 Shoulders/arms and Ab ripper. Shoulders and arms are upper body that you need for traversing and maintaining balance and body stability.
Day 2 Power 90 Plyo/Legs - this is the core of the leg and body workout for skiing itself. It's kind of a combination between Legs/Back-X (leg portion) and Plyo-X.
Day 3 Core Synergistics - this focuses on the core muscle group, very important for powder and steep skiing.
Day 4 Plyo-X/Cardio-X - this one will be kind of play it by ear. I think two plyo's may be too much for some weeks.
Day 5 Yoga-X: need to do this for muscle stretching and overall fitness
Day 6 Leg/core workout - this is my own combo of leg and core exercises.
Warmup!
3 circuits of next 3
a Bosu squats w dumbbells
b Bosu single leg hops
c overhand wide grip pullups
