This series of exercises focuses on important muscles in the legs and torso we use every day. No equipment (and very little space) necessary.<\/p>\n

A good strength workout should check a lot of boxes. It should improve your metabolism, challenge your body and leave you feeling good. But it should also make you feel stable on your feet and able to move freely.<\/p>\n

This workout, which was originally created as a preparation for ski season<\/a>, focuses on basic strength and stability we use every day, especially in the legs, hips and core.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s actually not that different from what I\u2019d program for soccer players,\u201d said Bob Poehling, manager of high performance for U.S. Ski & Snowboard.<\/p>\n

Many of the exercises, such as the inch worm, the body saw and the Copenhagen, build trunk strength that can help improve posture and prevent back pain. And several of them, like the single-leg glute bridge and Romanian deadlift, focus on balance, which can minimize age-related declines in stability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s also useful for any activity that requires power in the lower body and dynamic movements \u2014 such as skiing, tennis, biking, hiking or running.<\/p>\n

Exercises like this, that build strength and muscle over time, have long-lasting effects on metabolism, said Mr. Poehling. Many of them can be made harder by holding a dumbbell, he added.<\/p>\n
