Any exercise ideas to get my legs ready for a mid February ski trip.
To Qualify……I’m 62 years old, and a pretty good skier. Haven’t been in about 5 years. Not overweight and in decent condition. Squats are out of the question.
lunges, tib raises, kot split squat, reverse step ups, nordics, crosick squats, sissy squats (all bodyweight), reverse nordics, wall squats, sled pushes/drags, sled walks backwards, prinsoner squats
essentially work the calves and ankles both in ext and flex
work the lunge pattern in every direction to really hit the quads and the strengthen the muscles around the knee
work the hamstrings with the nordic version to keep the hamstring from getting hurt when you ski
work the hip flexors so you dont over compensate and hurt the knee
I assume when you say no squats you mean no barbell squats. i assume bodyweight and possibly a small kettlebell would be fine??

Currently on week 4 of the knees Over Toes program. I didn't think about it, but it'd be perfect for someone wanting to ski or run. It's a leg and core specific workout designed to protect the knee.
