Ready for ski season?!?

It is snowing at my house in Whitefish, MT! As we are heading into a new season, I decided it was the perfect time to resume my blogging.

So, here in the wintry land of Whitefish we are all getting ready for ski season! When I think of the first weeks of ski season, what always comes to my mind? My sore quads...and all the fun that goes along with those muscles aching of course.

Your body, a wall and a clock are all you need to start prepping for using your quads at the mountain.

Stand with your back against a wall, your feet hip distance, parallel and +/- 18 inches from the wall (far enough away so that when you bend your knees, your knees line up with your ankles while pointing over your toes). Bend your knees so that your quads are parallel with the floor and hold. Hold the squat position for a few deep breaths working up to a minute or two. Repeat this exercise 3-5 times.

Did you know...that 85% of what happens in your body is directly related to what you put in your mouth?!? Think about that for a while and there will be more to come.

Happy snowy days!
