How to do it

1. Warm up with a few easy runs or gentle laps before skiing harder terrain.
2. Keep your weight balanced over the middle of the skis with knees and ankles flexed.
3. Ski at a pace and on terrain that match your ability, resting between runs as needed.
4. Log your time on the snow and distance if your tracker records it.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Skiing from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
