A series of clips demonstrating exercises to build up strength and stability for a better, safer skiing holiday.
Using the Bosu approximates the variable nature of the terrain underfoot. Skiing has inherent risks because of the unknown terrain, so including instability in your training will enhance your ability to regain control and reduce the likelihood of injury!

Great exercises that have many benefits to cross-country skiing! In cross-country skiing we have ups and down which to me is much more interesting then starting at the top and finishing at the bottom!
great unique ideas for bosu!
Nice! butt kicking work out, short and very effective! Thanks
Very useful tx
Aren’t you not supposed to twist the upper body when skiing? And you also pole plant with the downhill ski unlike running where your arms move opposite the leg.
you should not twist upper body. Your chest should always face down the slope (more or less).
William Ward The upper body should remain quiet with movement of lower body only.The pole touch should be made with the wrist not the arm. I have been using a Bosu for 15 years to train for skiing. I hold my hands in front like I would on a mountain bike handle bar when I do the side to side drill. The correct position would have your knees over your toes and hips over your heels. You do not want to drop your weight behind your heels when you ski. The one leg drill is also very good for balance.
I would also add that getting thigh burn while skiing is a sign you're in the back seat; you're leaning back too much.
She may be a skier but not a ski coach. I have been using the bosu for a couple of decades now for dryland. As an alpine coach I recommend using alot of ankle flexion and quiet upper body while training.
