Ready to hit the slopes? Before the snow falls, hiking is the perfect way to get your body in shape for ski season!
Here's how hiking helps you gear up for those downhill runs:
1️⃣ Leg Strength – Hiking up steep terrain builds the quads, glutes, and calves you'll need for powerful turns.
2️⃣ Endurance – Skiing takes stamina! Hiking improves your cardiovascular endurance, so you can last all day on the mountain.
3️⃣ Core Stability – Navigating uneven trails strengthens your core muscles, key for balance and control on the slopes.
4️⃣ Improved Balance – Hiking challenges your stability, just like skiing does when you're cruising down trails or through powder.
