Here are some great exercises you can do to help get your body prepared for a ski or snowboarding vacation. Choose your level and before beginning, be sure to warm-up with by walking on the treadmill, stationairy bike, or elliptical. In between sets, you can choose from various forms of conditioning. Try jumping rope, jumping jacks, high knees, or burpees. The object of the conditioning portion is to get your heart rate up before beginning the set again. Do these workouts 3 days a week while performing a weight training routine 2 times a week on opposite days. Give it a month and you'll be in so much better cardiovascular and muscular shape to take on the slopes without them taking you!
