How to be as fit and strong as Winter Olympians.

Are you hitting the slopes in 2022?

With the Winter Olympics in Beijing fast approaching, are you inspired to make the most of the changes in COVID rules in Europe and grab a last minute trip?

If you’re booking a last minute trip, the likelihood is you have done as much as training as you would have liked to get the most of your time on the slopes. At Optimum Derby we have put a programme together for you based on the exercises and conditioning sessions Tom used with the GB Snowsport team between 2012 and 2019.

Gone are the days of squats and sitting against the wall for minutes on end. Skiing is much more than that.

After Dave Rydings impressive win at the weekend in Kitzbuhel, Austria in the slalom and the 2022 Winter Olympics around the corner, these exercises and programmes have been made for you.

Our programme at Optimum is aimed to get you fit to ski in 6 weeks, with 3 sessions a week to complete, you will progress with specific exercises based for skiing. Here are a few sample drills included in the programme.

If you have a specific injury and need advice on how to rehabilitate the area, what to do, what to avoid then also feel free to get in contact. At Optimum Derby our specialist therapists can assess, diagnose, treat and rehabilitate the injury back to full movement.

If you wish to book in with one of our specialist therapists, feel free to make an enquiry or book online here.
