There is nothing quite like the natural high you get when you are floating down the mountain on your skis in virgin powder. It’s a monumental experience that only skiers can comprehend.
Nevertheless, a major problem for skiers is decreased muscle stamina t0 be able to ski all day long and at a high intensity. The problem comes from extreme leg muscle fatigue after you have skied a couple of runs that causes you to stop every two seconds, lose your balance, and even increase your risk of injury. That’s where a great skiing exercise program comes into play. For some awesome down hill skiing workouts go to http://tinyurl.com/9l7xyr4
