Fall is near the weather is turning cooler and thoughts turn from walking and hiking to skiing! So what do I do to increase my fitness for the up coming ski season. I take a hike using trekking poles! Hiking the local ski trails or mountains is fine for me.I love to hike in the fall and can also enjoy the beautiful colors of the leaves, especially here in the East of the US. Hiking really gets the quads(thigh) muscles in shape which is a big part of "being in shape" for ski season. A bit more work-out for the arms and abs as well are added to my program as well! During the week days, I still Nordic Walk after work but come the week-ends I head for the hills!
