It is therefore important to build muscles and train physical agility. Alois Grabmair is a member of the DSLV instructor team Ski Alpin, DOSB sports physiotherapist and head of a physiotherapy practice. His advice concerns basic fitness and muscle agility: &#8220;Winter sportsmen and women should be careful to prepare for the season. In this way, injuries can be prevented while at the same time improving their general condition. Ideally, the preparation already starts in summer [&#8230;]. This is easy, by the way, and it doesn&#8217;t matter whether young or old, beginner or old hand &#8211; everyone should prepare for their sport before the start of winter&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-5132 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df_flexibel\" title=\"The ski instructors of the DSLV give helpful fitness tips for winter sports fans.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"The ski instructors of the DSLV give helpful fitness tips for winter sports fans.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/DSLV-Saisonstart-\u00a9-DSLV-1-729x486-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"5132\">\u00a9 DSLV<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">The ski instructors of the DSLV give helpful fitness tips for winter sports fans.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<p>The simplest exercises include repeated knee bends, downhill squats, the one-leg stand or the &#8220;bridge&#8221;, where you balance backwards on your hands and feet. The general rule is: first train endurance, then strength. It is advisable to go jogging regularly. After just a few runs, you can feel the progress.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hiking-is-one-of-the-best-forms-of-preparation\">Hiking is One of the Best Forms of Preparation<\/h2>\n<p>Any movement helps the body to get into shape and stay in shape. Running or cycling longer distances is one of the simplest everyday challenges. To tackle it even more conscientiously, we recommend, for example, small hikes with gradients. Hiking trains not only the leg muscles, but also the cardiovascular system. Therefore, altitude training in the mountains is particularly effective. &#8220;From a height of about 1,200 m, the body has to absorb more oxygen,&#8221; explains Grabmair. &#8220;The cardiovascular system is gently stimulated in this way. During a leisurely hike, you also train your stamina &#8211; an important basis not only for winter sports. One can already speak of altitude training during excursions in the Bavarian foothills of the Alps&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-5136 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df_flexibel\" title=\"Hiking boosts the cardiovascular system and increases fitness.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"Hiking boosts the cardiovascular system and increases fitness.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-468x312.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/Wandern-\u00a9-My-Good-Images-shutterstock.de_-1-1-729x486-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"5136\">\u00a9 My Good Images - shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">Hiking boosts the cardiovascular system and increases fitness.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<h2 id=\"intergrate-exercises-into-your-daily-life\">Intergrate Exercises into Your Daily Life<\/h2>\n<p>Not everyone finds time for extensive preparatory training for the winter. This makes it all the more important to create rituals for small exercises. Grabmair recommends to do small stretching and mobilization exercises daily before going to bed. Balancing on one leg, leading the heel of the second leg towards the buttocks, the thigh muscles are stretched with minimal effort.<br \/>\nThe sole of the foot can also be easily mobilized: To do this, the foot is placed on a golf or tennis ball and rolled back and forth. The sole of the foot is connected to the lumbar spine &#8211; when it is relaxed, the back also becomes more mobile. &#8220;It&#8217;s an easy exercise that can also be done while making coffee,&#8221; summarizes Grabmair.<\/p>\n<p>Coordination can be particularly well trained when movements are carried out in an unusual way. It is also advisable to perform movements regularly &#8220;the wrong way round&#8221;. &#8220;When playing football, shoot with the &#8216;wrong&#8217; foot again and again, walk backwards through the apartment for a few minutes every now and then. This can be done easily, costs nothing and trains the coordination skills enormously,&#8221; says Baier.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"tips-for-snowboarders\">Tips for Snowboarders<\/h2>\n<p>Matthias Baier has very simple tips at the ready. He is a state-certified snowboard instructor, member of the DSLV instructor team, snowboard coordinator and head of the DSLV professional snowboard school &#8220;Schneesturm&#8221; in Lenggries. He explains what is important when snowboarding: &#8220;Snowboarding consists of very versatile, demanding movement sequences in terms of coordination. Many movements are carried out crosswise, and due to the changing direction of travel, also on both sides. For season preparation, coordination exercises are therefore particularly important, in addition to general endurance and strengthening exercises&#8221;. Baier recommends very simple exercises: &#8220;It&#8217;s enough to occasionally make a sandwich with the &#8216;wrong&#8217; hand or to pick up the coffee cup crosswise from time to time&#8221;.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tt-post-image-wrapper tt-post-image-wrapper-full\">\n            <div class=\"tt-image-copyright-container\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-wrapped=\"true\" class=\"wp-image-5134 size-Artikelbild_gro\u00df\" title=\"Snowboarder starting on a slope.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-729x486.jpg\" alt=\"Snowboarder starting on a slope.\" width=\"729\" height=\"486\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487.jpg 729w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-468x313.jpg 468w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-645x430.jpg 645w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-552x368.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-405x270.jpg 405w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-336x224.jpg 336w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-276x184.jpg 276w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-234x156.jpg 234w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-192x128.jpg 192w, https:\/\/www.snowtrex.co.uk\/magazine\/files\/2019\/10\/shutterstock_432963877-\u00a9-2xSamara.com-shutterstock.de_-729x487-120x80.jpg 120w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1009px) 729px, (min-width: 819px) 594px, (min-width: 569px) 729px, (min-width: 449px) 468px, 348px\" \/><\/a><div class=\"tt-image-copyright\" data-image-id=\"5134\">\u00a9 2xSamara.com - shutterstock.de<\/div>\n            <\/div>\n            <div class=\"tt-post-caption\">Snowboarder starting on a slope.<\/div>\n         <\/div > \n<h2 id=\"year-round-activities-for-an-easy-start-in-winter\">Year-Round Activities for an Easy Start in Winter<\/h2>\n<p>For an optimal start into the winter season, Grabmair recommends regular sports throughout the year. &#8220;Cycling, Nordic walking or jogging are good tips for anyone who wants to maintain their performance&#8221;.
