Aspen Ascent
Ready to hit the slopes? It’s been three warmer seasons since you last clipped on a pair of skis, so we’d be shocked if you weren’t a little rusty. To help you get your snow legs back, Sports Club/LA offers Aspen Ascent, a total-body workout that enhances your cardiovascular capacity—essential when you work out at higher elevations—while also improving balance, agility, and core strength. The hour-long class is divided into three segments, each featuring exercises engineered to help your body meet the unique demands of snow sports. The first part works on speed and agility using high-intensity intervals, the second improves strength and balance to help you navigate turns and difficult terrain, and the third section focuses on core work and flexibility, which is a must for proper injury prevention. Whether or not there’s a lift ticket in your future, it’s a workout worth tackling. (Search: How to prevent skiing injuries)
