Running. Just make sure you don't mess up your knees.

What's on the other side of that wall?

core training def helps.

core training (abs and back) - general stuff

squats

holding tuck stance for time periods (a lot harder than you think)

body lifts (hamstrings) - lay on your back, feet (heels) on a chair, and lift your body with your legs (not core) will work the hammies

yoga (good all around)

one legged squats (works the quads, balance, and fine muscle control in the legs)

cross overs (kinda like walking sideways, crossing one leg in front of the other - much more beneficial than hoping side to side, because the cross-overs put your body in the right position and more closly emulate your body movements while skiing)

hoping crossovers - just basically a faster paced crossover where the crossing foot doesn't hit the ground

calf raises - standing on a stair or something and flexing your ankles lifting your body with the calf (also works the negative resistance well too) -most people don't need added weights

plyometrics can be great to develop expolsive power, and when mixed with aerobic exercises (stamina) can be a potent mix for skiing, but it typically neglects the finer muscles needed for the constant adjustments in balance.

 
I saw this advert somewhere for this indoor skaetboard thing that Pros use to train for balance and pop. It's laike two balls or jack things with a flat board. It had varying amounts of balls to make it harder and you could tricks and stuff. Not sure what it's called. Hope that helps but I don't even understand me.

 
set up three boxes at different heights...first the shorts last one the tallest...with a little gap between then...jump up with both feet hand square jump down and up and down and up...and start over again...over and over...this will work everything from stanima to balance...to calfs..to abs..everything

Yeah, but lifting can really mess up your knees, and mine are already bad. Check out those multi level moves people and ask them. Or maybe it says on their site cuz they have mad hops.

squats, calf press, abs, yoga, balancing, there was also an arcticle about hoe shane mcckonkey trains for his huge falls, he got one of those big bouncy balls, and u jump on it but you make sure to land sideways on the side of the ball, it will throw u off and if u keep jumping on the ball it teaches u how to fall right, as long as u hit the side of the ball

i cant describe the vibe i get when i drive by 6 people and 5 i hit
 
weight training and strengthening will only get you so far. i train using trampolines and i go to the local pool all the time. best way to emulate skiing, and to get air sense.

'I heard that Richard Gere gerbils. That is, he inserts gerbils into a paper towel tube, which he then sticks up his butthole. I don't doubt this, because he asked me if i wanted to come over to his house and gerbil. I insisted that he come over to MY house, since the whole thing seemed weird. As a practical joke, i attached a bucket of water to the top of the door so that when he opened it, I beat him with a mannequin leg.'-Skydaddy
 
as far as legs go stay away from short sprints and exercise that are designed to stimulate fast twitch muscles. such as plyometrics. leg press and squats can work very well but do them a little slower than usual. not only will this be better for slow twitch muscles but will also build muscle quicker. also long distance running. remember you ski for about 8 hours not 20 minutes

 
there are a lot of different options for training to hit the mountain...

-weight training-

as said above, lift legs and the rest of the body as well...a balanced body is key for efficiency and capability...

squats...bar behind the head and resting level with the shoulders or just above the lower neck, slow descent provides a lot of negative resistance which strengthens in ways that simply exerting on the way back up will not...muscle should be working both up and down

leg extensions and leg curls...machine exercise but great for building strength in the hamstrings and the quads...i find single leg extensions and curls to be better than double leg (both legs at the same time) because the leg and its targeted muscles are more isolated...the idea of negative resistance can be applied here too

calf raise and seated claf raise...both work different areas of the calf, lower and upper and round out general leg strength

power lifts and cleans...great for developing explosive power, while not exactly what we may all be looking for (cleans are a little more racing oriented) i'm sure phys. ed would appreciate it...

lifting for the rest of the body...focus on the major areas...chest, tris, back, bis, shoulders and abs...

(chest)...bench press, dumbell press, incline and decline dumbell press, cable crossovers (where a cable is in each hand, starting arms out and drawing across the body to come together), flat and incline fly (dumbell in each hand, spreading the arms and then slowly bringing them together again)...all work core areas of the chest and are easy to incorporate into a workout

(tricep)...basic tricep pushdowns and pulldowns would be sufficient for general fitness and body balance, dips are good for the tris and are plenty when lifting bodyweight

(back)...lat pulldowns and rowing pulls on a cable machine are good for building and toning, increasing back strength, pullups with a wide grip (hands farther apart) are good for the upper back as well, back extensions on a 45 degree angled machine or stand are good for developing lower back strength (start with bodyweight and then increase with the addition of a medecine ball (heavy ball) or a weight itself

(biceps)...basic curls can be all you really need as long you focus on the idea of negative resistance and work just as hard letting the bar down as you do bringing it back up, fast and excessive reps with just a 45lb squat bar are good for toning and building endurance...hammer pull/lift (place weight on floor beside bench, stand at that side and place nearest knee and hand on bench while gripping and lifting with free arm) is good for general bicep strength also

(shoulders)...shoulder press with both the machine and dumbell is good for developing shoulder strength, dumbell lifts (dumbell in each hand, lifting up and out either in front of you or to the side with a straight and locked arms is awesome for the shoulders too

(abdominal)...a mix of high reps in crunches (various forms and crunch exercises, situps, leg lifts, etc) are good for toning and endurance and general strength, mixing up the routine with some decline situps and abwork can be really beneficial also

-calisthenics and plyometrics-

great for supplemental methods of training...the boxwork that was mentioned above is great for developing agility and jump strength, jumprope (leg strength and endurance), there is plenty more to incorporate if you want

-cardiovascular training-

key to general fitness and training for other physical activities, attributes to all areas and supplements lifting and plyo. work...regular mountain biking (typicalling XC but even downhill) and running (stay on dirt and grass, etc. because pavement and asphalt will fuck up your knees unless you've been running road for a long time), both are great for developing cardio, fitness levels and strengthening the legs

good luck with your work...

 
pilates is a form of yoga (at least that's my understanding), but another thing to keep in mind, some of the best trainers in the skiing industry will tell you that 90%+ of your training can be done using no other resistance that your own body weight.

life is too short to have any regrets
 
Yea those boards are called Voodoo Blance boards. TRy doing iron chairs. Put your back on the wall and sit on the air for as long as posssible helps your thigh wicked.

Piss on tits, piss on piss, and piss on this. PEACE OUT
 
Squats. There is something else but I forget the name. All you do is put on foot in front of the other and bend at your knee and leave your other leg in back so it's stretched out and bend at your knee. And just walk like that sort of. Just make sure your knee, (the one your bending) doesn't exceed over your fooot/toes. You can really mess up your knee that way. You can use weights while your doing it too.

You can also try something called conditioning. You just put cones or something and run to one side of a room or where ever you're working out and then sprint back. And make up different ways to run back and forth. Like do a crabwalk down and jog back then sprint there and butt kicks back. Butt kicks is when you run and you bring your foot up to your ass and kick it. ahahaha. Also try agility things. Quick movements, backwards running, dodging stuff. It works.

I used to be in shape from field hockey in the fall, we had to run a 20 minute indian run, 18 minutes run everyday. That's more then two miles a day at one time for me. Barrels of fun right there. But just remember it takes a week to get out of shape and a month to get back in shape.

im pretty active all year round with soccer and outdoors stuff. for skiing power is good but having total balance and confidence is key.

ill go through states of where i look at everything as something i could ski and ill just try and be really creative in everything i do, whether its walking and opening a drawer or skiing switch. basically ill try and make everything fluid and smooth - its fun and easy. :)

the indo board is a great tool and once you get normal standing down start spinning on it and just force yourself to get creative with it.

do alot of agility stuff - i did alot to rehab my ankle and that stuff has helped enourmously just build up some boxes or find a stone wall or some steps and just play around on that thinking about how you can do soething creative.

i work out alot but i dont know if it really makes a big difference in the way i ski

the shit hasnt even begun to hit the fan
 
Mountain bikeing is the best thing to keep a skiier in shape in the off season. It works all your leg muscles that you use when skiin. And were i live 'East Coast' the ski resort (Holiday Valley) has dozens of mountain bike trails in the summer. Thats when we build our tree rails.
