What is your base of support on the hill?
Most people think it's their feet, but I would have to disagree. I think it's your core! ;)
When you have a strong core, you can handle high forces in fast turns, and unexpected moguls ;)
I call this the Wall Lean Leg Lift...or ✨ Skier Lifts ⛷️ for short! Think of it like a modified side plank.
It will help you feel your core stabilizing your hips as you lift your inside foot. We are primarily using the core to hold isometrically as we lift the inside leg here.
If you don't feel your core working, take your feet further from the wall and let yourself have an athletic lean from the hips forward and laterally (to the side).
💪🦵 There's also a bit of leg and hip strengthening too - all crucial for a successful ski season.
Here's how to do it:
1. Find a sturdy wall or support to lean against about a foot and a half to two feet away
2. Position yourself by pressing your elbow and forearm against the wall
3. Shift your hips towards the wall and put your weight into your outside foot WITHOUT rotating them
4. Lift your bottom leg up towards your hips, the slight lean in your torso
5. Work up to 12 lifts in 30 seconds, with short rests for this movement
