Get Off Your Ass: The Kevin Version

It’s late at night. It’s the night before the biggest ski sale weekend of the year. I’m a couple of glasses into a handle of Captain; partly because it’s Friday night, mostly because I don’t have to work tomorrow. Suddenly, I freak out: “I’m gonna look great with all the gear I get this weekend. But after ten years sans skiing, how am I going to look when I’m actually coming down the hill?”

So I immediately Gooooooogle “ski exercises” and hit the jackpot at IfYouSki. They’ve got all the basics for a beginning (again) skier: warm-up, stretching, running to build that core stamina, and circuit exercises that are skiing specific.

I still might not look all that great coming down the mountain, but at least I won’t be so sore when I’m trying to hit on that Ski Bunny I saw in the lodge.
