Workouts : U.S. Freeski Team Training

This is a collection of videos if U.S. team member Jen Hudak showcasing some of the exercises she does for skiing pipe and slopestyle.


Try these six exercises as a circuit, doing ten repetitions of each then moving quickly to the next exercise. Once you've done all six, take a break, grab some water and do it again!

Workout plan:
-complete circuit three times
Three way leg raises: perform all three three times each

There you have it: six exercises you can do to prep you for ski season. If you don't have access to a gym, think of creative ways to do similar activities in your backyard. for instance, do the leg raises while swinging on a tree branch or do the box jumps on a bench or table (with your parents permission of course). Lastly, don't focus to much on the weights used in weighted push-ups or weighted jumps. Start without extra weight and work up to a higher weight.
