Fitness Tip Of The Day: Intervals For Skiing

"Interval training was the best thing I did to help me build up to endurance skiing. I like to use the treadmill since you can easily track your speed and you can really see the progression of your training. Start with a five-minute warm up at a nice and easy jog. Then begin your intervals with 30 seconds at a solid sprint and ease up for two minutes of walking. As you get in better shape, jog during your rest period instead of walk and shorten your rest time."
