Aspen Life blogger Asia Jenkins has spent five years teaching ski conditioning and she knows how to get ready–or not. “With winter around the corner,” she blogs, “it’s time to start thinking about getting your body ready for ski season. I have taught ski conditioning on and off for the past five years and I am consistently hearing the same question from clients: ‘How do I get my body ready to take a ski conditioning class?’ Going from zero to 60 in 10 seconds is OK for a car, but our bodies need a little bit more of a warmup. Pulled hamstrings and twisted ankles are no way to start the ski season. Those who did not do much physical activity this summer except maybe a couple hikes may want to get their heart rates up before the first class.”
