Skiing is a terrific sport, be it downhill or the cross-country variation. They both give the body a thorough workout of all the major muscle groups. Cross country may not have the same lightning-fast descent and exhilaration as downhill skiing but you can marvel at the snow-covered landscapes and forests as you glide along on your skis. The beauty of skiing is the ability to alter the intensity of the workout to cater to your personal level of fitness.
Unlike sports involving running, skiing offers a non-impact way of exercising and thus reduces joint damage. Skiing is a great way to give your arms, legs, abs, back, chest, and glutes an intense workout.
