The benefits of skiing

A day of skiing involves switching between intense physical efforts and moments of relaxation as well as the constant adaptation of the body to the altitude, the lack of oxygen and the outdoor conditions. Skiing allows you to strengthen your general endurance.

In addition, altitude naturally boosts the body by forcing it to build more red blood cells to compensate for the lack of oxygen. This is why athletes who need endurance, like football players, do training courses at altitude.

Although your quadriceps are the muscles that you will feel most, skiing works out your whole body: toning of the abs, back, buttocks, adductors, calves, ankles and upper body workout during turns and for good balance...

Besides toning up the abs, skiing makes your joints work: knees, ankles, shoulders, elbows, etc. for good tone while remaining flexible.

When you go skiing you breathe deeply and exercise while producing endorphins, the pleasure hormone. All tensions is released, and you can enjoy the beneficial effects of the pure air and sunshine to fill up on vitamine D, which will boost your immune system and moral.

Your concentration improves and you feel a general sense of well-being which carries over into your daily life.
