The following video is a clip from a presentation I gave at the Ottawa Ski Show two years ago about training for skiing. I’ll be sharing a few more clips on topics related to training for skiing over the next few weeks.  Each one is less than 5 minutes (I think – or close to), and covers a topic related to skiing and training.

I’ll post videos about the following over the next few weeks:

• What does training for skiing offer?
• Ski training needs
• Ski training program components
• Low back pain and the joint by joint approach
• Assessing for muscular imbalances in skiers (if you can’t move well on a level surface…)
• Dynamic warm-up for skiing

Want to make sure you don’t miss any? Subscribe to the RSS feed or like the Custom Strength Facebook page as I’ll share all of the links there after posting.

Want to actually be in shape before you strap on your skis this year? My Fitness For Skiers ebook will do just that. Well, technically the book won’t get you in shape. You’ll get yourself in shape if you follow the program in the book.
