Hi dear peoples,

As the ski season is coming soon, I'd like to know what part of legs or body I should train and how to do it.
 
You cant just start working out a month before ski season starts and expect to see a difference
 
I broke my knee cap last year and am just getting close to 100%. my physical therapist has had me warming up cycling then doing a rigorous jumping routine that is working wonders for me. Tuck jumps, box jumps, and triple jumps. lots of sets of them, 2 legged then one legged (bad leg for me). then 6 flights of 9 stairs 1 legged hops non stop. then back to the bottom, then same thing 2 stairs at a time one legged, then 3 stairs at a time one legged. leg press is great too, as is using a total gym and using for jumping with decresed impact and weight. they all strengthen butt, hips, hams, quads and calfs etc. also help with being real explosive. I feel like any kind of vertical climbing is great too, like steep hikes or running/biking on hills. you can google any of those exercises too if you don't know what they are
 
i dont think that you should have to train for ski season, ive always looked at skiing as something thats really fun...not a workout...unless you hike for a while on a hot day
 
maybe instead of using your arms and hands, use your legs and feet and use the searchbar…there was a thread on this like yesterday, and many many more
 
What LJ said to get your stability and basic strength back. Then sprints, squats, squat jumps, deadlifts, romanian deadlifts, hip thrusts, glute bridges, box jumps, weighted lunges + mobility, stretching and fixing weaknesses. Do that to get real strong. Dont leg press unless youre injured or for some reason cant squat and/or deadlift.
 
This has allowed me to ski near the top of my game without an ACL or MCL in my left knee. Never felt better!
 
I should do this because last time I could only ski piste for half a day and then my legs were tired as hell.After that i just went to the park.
 
Also broke my knee cap, going threw physio and keeping up with these exercises has made my legs buff as shit. A lot of the exercises u can do at home without any use of fancy machines too.
 
i came in here to post this.BUT They can be very dangerous if not done properly though.

Here are some great kettlebell moves to help with not only lower body but overall stability/core strength as well:

Turkish Get Ups

Goblet Squats

1 arm front squats

Prying Squats

Rack Lunges

2 hand swings

1 hang swings

deadlift

1 arm deadlift
