Winter Workout: Strengthening Moves for Skiing, Snowboarding, and Ice Skating

The Mogul

Targets butt, quads, and calves

Stand with feet together holding a dumbbell in each hand.
Lower into a deep squat, torso hinged forward in a tuck position, and bend elbows by ribs 90 degrees, palms facing each other (as if skiing).
Maintaining tuck, pivot on balls of feet to face toward left, then pulse up and down 1 inch for 4 counts.
Pivot back to center, repeat pulse; pivot to right, repeat pulse, to complete 1 rep.
Do 5 reps, then repeat 5 reps, this time pulsing only 2 counts at left, center and right. Do 2 sets.
MAKE IT HARDER: Jump to change direction rather than pivoting.
