Cross-country skiing is one of those life-long sports that is gentle on the body but a great total body workout. As a sport that works large and small muscle groups as well as your heart and lungs to propel you and your skis around a majestic winter ski trail, it is undeniable why this sport is highly recommended for fitness and health.
Cross-country skiing is a skill-based endurance sport that requires technical training. For beginners, XC-skiing can be difficult and quite a workout, that is why we, at Vitality Fitness, recommend a pre-ski-season training plan designed by our health and fitness experts.
Our training plan will guide you through the 6months building up to when the snow starts to fly. We combine your interests and abilities with our modern program design technique to provide you with aerobic and resistance training that will have you soaring along the is trails on opening day.
Our typical training plans go from the months of June 1st to December 1st, consisting of resistance training in a fitness facility, and with your choice of aerobic training (spinning or cycling, running, swimming, are all complimentary forms of aerobic training). We can and will adapt your plan as you progress and offer plans that lead up to competition, offer non-gym based resistance training exercises, and we can combine your training plan with any other sporting event you’re working up to in the off-season.
At the start of your training plan we offer a fitness assessment which provides you with baseline measures of your body composition, aerobic fitness, and musculoskeletal fitness. Click here for an overview of our assessment protocol. This assessment will occur at the half-way point, and at the program completion to discover all the health and fitness benefits you’ve received by training with Vitality Fitness.
