Hello, folks. I am thinking of spending several months on a mountain and ski there. I have heard that skiing is very healthy. It would be great to know what kind of exercise is included in skiing. Can someone help me with this? Thanks for all your replies. I appreciate it. Bye!

Hello to you too. Skiing is great. There is no better feeling than when you step on the snow. It can't be described. Skiing is excellent since it engages many muscles. Quadriceps are the most involved. They maintain your ski position and therefore are very active. Other muscles involved are: glutes, hamstrings, thighs, abs and backs. Arms are also engaged. You will see that skiing is excellent for entire body. Just prepare well before you ski. You should have a certain condition before. I hope you will love it. Bye!
