Last weekend the team had a strength and conditioning weekend at Leading Physique, organised by Chris Stewart. Chris is a three time British Telemark Champion who has had two top 15 places in a World Cup. He has recently put his skiing career on hold to set up a new gym near Clitheroe.

On Saturday Chris taught the team the correct movements for the exercises with very light weights. This was followed by a full work out on Sunday. Some of the exercises he taught the team were really interesting and were not the standard exercises you can do in a gym. The hardest exercise was pushing a weighted sledge up and down a slope. Chris has done a lot of work finding exercises that work the same muscles as telemark skiing and this definitely got the legs burning!

A huge thank you to Chris for a fantastic weekend. The team will look to use this facility more in the future and Chris’s expertise.
