Summary

Many people "ski themselves into shape" when the season begins, and can barely make it down the mountain without gasping for air. Others risk injury; while many wander aimlessly wondering what exercises will get them in better shape when they hit the snow. FitSkiing® has taken the guesswork out of your ski conditioning program.

FitSkiing® was created because there was a lack of strength and conditioning resources for skiers. Some magazines have produced helpful articles on getting into shape for skiing, however skiers lack one solid conditioning resource for their time off the slopes.

Author Bio

Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Andrew Hooge has been training individuals for close to a decade. He now brings his vast experience as a strength coach to you.

Over the past few years the author has conditioned triatheletes, runners, football players and other amateur and professional athletes, but his passion has always been in skiing.

At the age of four his dad would ski backwards while holding him out in front. For the first two seasons he could barely stand on his own two skis. Understanding how difficult it can be to pick up a new sport or activity helped Andrew decide to design fitskiing for all individuals and ability levels. Whether you are 17 or 70, ski 20 days a year or 200, fitskiing has the plan to get you in the best condition of your life.

Fitskiing incorporates the many lessons Andrew has learned through his own pursuit of becoming a more fit and better skier. The author currently makes his home in Crested Butte, Colorado where he enjoys making tracks at least four months out of the year.

Andrew holds a bachelors degree in Kinesiology.
