Lie in the sun with a glass of wine on top of the mountain, or go faster than a car on your skis. Winter has arrived and many of us head to the slopes to enjoy the annual ski trip. If it’s your first time or you’re a pro, always think about your body, such as your back or knees or the risk of injury. Skiing or snowboarding is a very challenging exercise and you need to make sure that your body and back are healthy.
Read our tips on how to enjoy skiing and/or snowboarding while remaining injury-free:
Hold your body warm; If you stop exercising too suddenly after a whole day of exercising it’s important to keep your body warm and stretch. You want your body to return to how it was before you started your skiing trip. Skiing and snowboarding put a lot of stress on the joints, especially the knees. Using the spa after moving all day the hill relieves your joints of this pressure, allowing them to relax.
