Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Can you please comment on the number of reps and how many sets of each exercise / how long to plank for? Just by a way of gauging progression

[@Bo_3rd]

Start at what you’re comfortable with, maybe 3 sets of 15, and 3 sets of 30 seconds. If that is too hard / easy, adjust accordingly.

It is not clear for me how many times, or how long do you do each exercise for. (I did catch to have 30-60 sec breaks between rounds 😃)

[@MyphysiosaAuAdelaide]

We suggest for each exercise that you do 20 repetitions of each exercise then rest 30-60 seconds. Repeat this two more times. Hope this helps you get strong for your ski trip 👍

I haven’t skiied in 20 years, should I just skip it altogether?

Skiing is such great fun. If you get the opportunity then take it! These exercises ideally should be started 6-12 weeks before your ski trip to get your muscles ready. Go for it!

Start at 20 reps of each. Over a few weeks add a second 20 reps. After a month then add a third 20 reps. With the plank, start at 3x30 seconds, and progress as above adding 15 seconds each time. Go for it! I hope you have a great ski trip
