Skiing is really good exercise. I can help you to burn fat and give you an all over body workout to help you to build muscle. The main disadvantage of skiing for exercise is that not many people have access to a slope on a regular basis, which means it’s not great as part of a regular exercise routine.
However, if you live in a skiing area or work at a ski slope, you can most definitely get in shape by skiing. A few years back I got a job at a ski resort at Aspen Mountain and it included a free lift pass. Every day after my shift I spent 2-3 hours on the slopes. In just under 3 months I lost 22lbs. It was the easiest weight I ever lost, as I loved every second and didn’t even think about how much exercise I was doing.
