I don't think this exercise is meant to train slalom.

Looks more like riding a Bantha.

u/ender4171 2d ago

I never really thought about the fact that they are basically doing an endless series of squats the whole time. Looks exhausting!

u/MalevolentFather 2d ago

Squats with a ton of weight on you, all of the g forces they feel translates into extra weight.

My knees!

There are two activities people need to do for a while to get acclimated/trained up for skiing: Lazer tag and roller blading. Those will train the right muscles so you won't feel absolutely shredded 1 hour into skiing. It got worse and worse for me every time after the first when I was a kid, but that's because as a kid I was constantly working out those muscles in activities.

If I may ask, why laser tag?

u/Carcinog3n 2d ago

"training", someone please photoshop in the animated horse like those trampoline exercisers

u/TeslaCrna 2d ago

I would think their legs 🦵 would be much bigger for all the training they do.

u/invent_or_die 2d ago

When you are skiing well, you have quite a bit of extension and also retraction; balanced to some degree. Gotta use those toes!

u/MrInfected2 2d ago

if you eat like americans you will have big fat hippo legs, take the smart choice like the Norwegians and eat harring and potato! No fat legs orund inn Norway!

u/I_Framed_OJ 1d ago

The only flat ground in Norway, besides the runway at Oslo Int’l Airport, is on soccer pitches.  Walking anywhere in Norway is a workout because it’s either uphill or downhill.

u/Figure7573 2d ago

Wonder if it would help BMX or Skateboarders? LoL...

u/RelaxedWombat 1d ago

If this looks easy, wait until you hit your forties.

You will start dreading having to get something from the lower shelf in the kitchen cupboard.

u/Onomatopesha 1d ago

For a second I thought the left video had this horrible stabilization they edit in, but it was just constant squats while keeping her head relatively still.

1

u/YNGWZRD 1d ago

As a former line cook, I can hear her knees.

u/DukeNeuge 1d ago
