The last thing you want from a fun day of outdoor recreation is a pulled muscle. So, before you get your boots on for a day on the slopes (or a run or even a pickleball match), you’ll want to spend 10 minutes doing this standing pre-ski (or other outdoor activity) warm-up to help prevent injury. These do-anywhere, dynamic warm-up exercises will warm up your muscles before you hit it hard. Let’s shred!
After an exhilarating day on the slopes, give yourself a moment for this quick post-skiing stretch. Releasing tension in your hips and upper body is important after a day of skiing, snowboarding, and other winter activities. You can even run through these stretches a couple times if you hit the hills hard. Before you jump into the hot tub or cozy up to the fire, hit play to stretch out.

Cat said, “This is a super explosive 20 Minute HIIT Tabata Workout where you go hard from the second you HIIT play.” Using a Tabata format, you’ll alternate between body-sculpting exercises and cardio bursts, so you’ll tone muscle and fry fat before finishing with a nice long stretch which you can choose to do…or not. Cat breaks the stretch into 2 segments so you can opt for a lighter stretch, or continue on for a deeper stretch. Enjoy!
