Myth: Ski training should be legs only. Truth: Skiing requires full-body strength. If you’re staying strong in ski season, your strength days should train more than just quads and glutes. Skiing requires: ✅️ Lower body strength for edge control and absorption ✅️ Core stability to transfer force between upper and lower body ✅️ Upper body strength for pole plants, rotation, and control at speed ✅️ Strength endurance to hold position under fatigue If your upper body and trunk aren’t trained to handle load, your legs compensate and fatigue shows up faster on the mountain. Ski training shouldn't JUST be leg days. Train the whole system, not just the quads. Save this for mid season ski prep!

Skiing isn’t just leg strength. It’s FULL-body strength and coordination all day long. When you combine upper body movements with lower body positions (like lunges), you train: • Stability in a ski-specific stance • Leg endurance under load • Core control while transferring force • Upper + lower body connection This is a great way to build strength that actually shows up on the mountain. Ski training shouldn’t separate body parts, it should train the whole system working together. Save this for your mid-season ski training!

Going skiing and want your legs to last past day 1? ⛷️ If your quads usually burn out early, it’s rarely because you’re “out of shape.” Skiing demands single-leg strength, downhill control, and leg stamina under fatigue — especially on longer runs and steeper terrain. These gym or at-home exercises help prep your legs for: • sustained quad burn • knee control on descents • hip stability when fatigue sets in Train tolerance before your trip and day one feels very different. Save this for your next ski day #skiing #skitraining #skiprep #skistrength #injurypreventionskiing

You’re not alone. 🤗 Many beginner and intermediate skiers think burning legs mean: “I’m out of shape.” 🫣 “I’m not strong enough.” 🫠 “My technique is bad.” 😐 But here’s what’s really happening: Skiing places high demands on your: • Quads (especially eccentric strength) • Glutes • Core stability • Muscular endurance And most people train generally - not specifically for skiing. It’s not just discomfort. It directly affects technique. That’s why I follow a ski-specific conditioning program designed to build: ❄️ Leg endurance ❄️ Core stability ❄️ Balance under load ❄️ Stronger turns for longer ski days 🤗 It’s not about gym aesthetics. It’s about skiing confidently for hours - not just the first 30 minutes. Follow me for more ski beginners tips or take my free guide from the link in my bio. 🤗⛷️ #ski #skilife #skicoaching #skitrip

‼️ Strength without adequate mobility is USELESS ☃️ That’s why the foundation of strong skiing starts with mobility (taken directly from my S.N.O.W. Method) 📝 Inside Legaski Club - Pro the Skier Self Assessment takes a look at your mobility so you know exactly what’s holding you back from skiing strong 🛠️ Then you do one of the many corrective programs to fix your skiing and ski stronger 🎿 Come check it out and join the many skiers who are skiing stronger because of it 📲 Message “LEGASKI CLUB” for details on your free 7-day trial

🤸🏻‍♂️ Most people think stretching will improving their ability to “Get Forward”, but this is only 1/3 of the solution 🌟You need the plan that also includes muscle inhibition AND muscle activation if you want to have the mobility to actually “Get Forward” and ski strong 🧠 Most trainers and PTs don’t provide that plan, but inside that Legaski Club - Pro I show how to build ski-specific mobility What is Legaski Club - Pro? ✅ Starts with The Skier Self Assessment to identify the mobility and strength limitations that hold you back from skiing at your peak ✅ Dryland ski-specific coaching from Greg @the_ski_pt Doctor of Physical Therapy to correct the differences so you ski stronger and prevent injury ✅ Ski video analysis coaching from Brian @levelupsports.academy to improve your technique and ski efficiently 👉🏻 Starts with 7-Day Free Trial then $40 a month after 📲 Message “Legaski Club” to get the 7-day FREE trial and join us!

Here’s what i’m doing about it. When prepping before ski season, I’m ALL in. But with balancing work, skiing, lifting, family, etc. - my targeted strength days have taken a hit and I’ve felt it on the mountain. So I did the skier self assessment in the Legaski Club and found out this: ✅ Mobility is good ✅ Stability is good 🚫 Strength on the left is weaker. So, to end this season strong, I’m going to specifically hone in on single leg strength during 1-2 lifts per week. As we transition to spring skiing and your ski trip approaches, it doesn’t take EVERYTHING to get prepared or to stay sharp - just ONE targeted thing for you. Message me “LEGASKI CLUB” to start your skier self assessment and find the one tweak for you.

Waiting patiently for some good snow? Yeah, us too🫣 try some of Cormac’s favourite exercises for ski strength and injury prevention!⛷️

Figured I’d change it up a little today. Been slacking on the content but with me coaching ski racing this year and with the olympics currently on I figured this would be appropriate. 6 Strength Exercises to Improve your Skiing: 1) Landmine Stepback Lunges with foot wedge. This exercise emphasizes strength and balance to help with increasing pressure on the downhill ski. 2) Landmine Lunges with separation Similar benefits to the first landmine variation, but this time including upper body separation to reinforce technical skiing positioning. 3) Super Slow Eccentric Squats with pause at bottom. Skiing is almost all resisting force and controlling eccentric movement, rather than focusing on explosiveness. This exercise will greatly improve eccentric strength, endurance and control in a knee-flexed position. 4) Controlled Single Leg Step-Downs Once again improving eccentric strength and control while also challenging balance in a single leg context more directly related to skiing. 5) GHD or Decline Rotational Sit-Ups Improve your core strength and challenge rotational muscles responsible for maintaining upper-lower body separation while skiing. 6) Hip Abduction while leaning forward. This movement directly translates to your ability to transfer force outwards with your legs. This will greatly improve your strength and comfortability when skating as well as maintaining outwards pressure on the downhill ski.

Ski season is here, is your body ready? ⛷️🏔️ Pro skier Alayna Sonnesyn shared the 3 best exercises to prep your body for skiing: 🔥 Dumbbell Goblet Squats – Build lower-body strength & stability 🔥 Single-Leg Box Step Down – Improve balance & control 🔥 Single-Leg Deadlift – Enhance strength, coordination & injury prevention

Wall sits aren’t just to fight the burn on long runs — they’re knee prep. Wall sits build **tendon resilience**, not just quad endurance. Your knees take repeated load on every turn — especially on long days, firm snow, or when fatigue sets in. This is key! Tendons don’t like surprises. They like **slow, consistent loading**. Wall sits teach your knees how to tolerate time under tension which is exactly what skiing demands. When performing wall sits think about: – Even pressure through the feet – Knees track over toes – Calm breathing This is preparing your knees to handle *volume*.
