GET IN SHEEP

SET 2

Let’s keep going! In the second training set, we’ve put together a program for your core and your legs. “Strengthen your core” includes general strengthening exercises that will stabilize your core, get your stomach muscles into shape and give you more strength for everyday life. A powerful core will help you avoid injury and train more efficiently. The “Improve your push-off” leg program builds on the initial two weeks of “Stabilize your mechanical axis”. The aim is the efficient and economic distribution of force in your step, which we need for ski touring. The “Open doors” exercise, which we already know from the first training set, will accompany us in the next two weeks of training along with intense and less intense endurance sessions. You can find the two-week training plan and comprehensive information for all exercises below.

THE 10-WEEK TRAINING PLAN TO GET YOU FIT.

WEEK 3 + 4

The training plan gives you a daily overview of exercises and timings for training.

In the second training set, we’re concentrating on stabilizing and strengthening your core and legs. In the “Strengthen your core” program, we’ll show you a few different exercises that will give you more stability and power. In the “Improve your push-off” legs program, we’ll start applying the more stable mechanical axis we’ve developed to our target movement. We will also be accompanied by intense and less intense endurance sessions, as well as exercises from the first training set.

RECIPE FOR A PERFECT START IN THE TRAINING

FRUIT BARS

½ cup (50 g) soft dates, peeled and pitted
1 cup (100 g) of soft dried apricots
1 cup (100 g) of soft raisins
½ cup (50 g) of dried cranberries
4 tbsp. apple juice
1 cup (100 g) of grated almonds
4 large, square or oblong wafers

Blend the dried fruit with the apple juice in a food processor or with a hand-held blender until a fine, sticky pulp is formed. Mix together with the grated almonds in a bowl.

Lay down a wafer and evenly spread on half of the mixture 1–2 centimeters thick. Lay on a second wafer and pat down with a small board. Use a knife to cut into a bar shape.

The bars will keep in a food storage box for 2–3 weeks. Wrap 1 or 2 bars in grease-proof paper to take with you.

Preparation time: 20 min
