Today’s workout focuses on improving total body power and muscular endurance as well as quickness. Developing
power endurance is important because it enables your muscles to apply more force through a turn as well as allowing you to move more quickly. Improving muscular endurance is important because it allows you to use your muscles for longer periods of time (i.e. skiing 3000 feet of vertical without stopping). Add this workout to your weekly routine and you’ll be able to ski longer and harder all season long.
