Hey guys, I was wondering what most of you guys do for keeping in shape off season and in season. And if you could give me some tips for workouts and that i get of my lazy ass and do it.

Thanks guys
 
I'm usually train for climbing, but I find that keeps me in pretty good shape for skiing.

But as far as ski specific training goes, I'd suggest just general cardio work. Start from where you are, which might be only like 20 or so minutes of running/biking/swimming pretty slowly, but don't be put out, it's more important you keep your heart rate up. I also don't think there's anything wrong with resistance training for skiing. Remember though, skiing involves by static and dynamic movements, so you want to tailor your training to this, just stacking squats will only do so much. And it goes without saying, keep your core strong, it'll help with your form in the air.

*...heart rate up than anything else.

*...involves both dynamic and static...

Fuck, I should really start proof reading.
 
I do a lot of body weight training. Push up, pull ups, sit ups, dips, jump squats, etc. You can do it anywhere and you're less likely to injure yourself. Running and biking for cardio
 
Cardio, core, flexability, lift.

That being said, the point of lifting wouldn't be for putting on mass at all. Light weight high reps for your lower body along with a lot of stretching will help a lot. As soon as im done with my senior year of football I won't have to lift to "get big" and I'll be able to focus on flexability and what matters for skiing

My goal is to get in a better shape for the next ski season, I dont really have any experience in working out at all, but i guess its mostly leg and core strenght? Im not sure what you mean with what do you like to do but if its work out wise i have no clue :D

this and stretching
 
Google a 5x5 program. Best beginner program for athletic training. Will humble you fast as fuck and the gains you'll make right off the bat are amazing. Just remember to stick to it.

Also, being in good overall shape translates well into skiing, and your life in general. Ski specific training is a waste of time imo when you could spend that time working out your entire body.
 
Situps, pushups, mountain biking, swimming, paddleboarding.

paddleboarding is a killer workout for your entire upperbody.
