Ski Conditioning
Don't Waste Your Holiday By Getting Injuried
Most Injuries on a ski holiday occur within the first 2 days, making it an expensive and cold holiday. By conditioning your body for the ski season ahead this will allow to get the best out of what the slopes have to offer.
Here at Balanced Fitness we would advise that you begin a minimum of 8 weeks prior to your ski holiday this will allow our team to condition you for the season ahead. A minimum of 2 sessions a week is required to allow our team to achieve results.

Philosophy Behind Ski Conditioning
Our trainers Luke Bremner & Drew Miller will take you through a comprehensive programme designed to improve your conditioning for the ski season. The programme will improve your:
- Aerobic System.
- Muscular Strength.
- Muscular Endurance.
- Core Strength.
- Balance.
- Flexibility.
This will all lead to you being able to Ski for Faster, Longer & Harder.
Session 1
The programme will begin with an initial assessment of each skier's individual body mechanics to identify any physical limitations, asymmetries or imbalances that may cause faults and increase the risk of injury. This will be done through a series of body assessments conducted by Luke and will include assessing lower limb biomechanics, gait (movement pattern), flexibility/mobility and dynamic posture.
After our initial assesment we will use the following to condition your body.
- Power Plate.
- Wobble Board.
- Strength Training.
- Swiss Ball.
- Kettle Bell.
- Nintendo Wii.
