The North Face: Mountain Athletics - Poor Mans Leg Curl Workout for skiers
Here's the third of six video training tips The North Face has developed specifically for skiers to use during the off-season. This time around Kit DesLauriers shows us "the Poor Man's Leg Curl" which trains the backside of the leg - hamstrings and glutes - to add balance and durability.
Alpine skiing is quad-intensive so this is a great early-season or off-season exercise. Give the video a watch and then read our North Face Mountain Athletics review to see what we think of this new direction in technical-training apparel.
What is Mountain Athletics?
The Mountain Athletics Collection and Training Program prepares athletes for the pursuit and achievement of any training goal so that they can make the most of their time outdoors. Watch the video below for this weeks exercise:
Mountain Athletics challenges athletes to view training from a new perspective. It’s much more than training for a game. Pushing limits successfully in outdoor pursuits is all about the right gear and the right preparation. Mountain Athletics provides the opportunity to embark on a unique journey—the dedication, thrill and reward of working out to improve physical and mental readiness so that one can enjoy the outdoor experience as much as possible.
What The North Face Offers
Mountain Athletics includes technical-training apparel, footwear, online training guides and in-store training classes.
The new Mountain Athletics Collection represents the next evolution of technical-training apparel and footwear. The demands of outdoor athlete training are extraordinarily tough on gear and require a level of performance and durability that traditional training gear doesn’t offer.
The Mountain Athletics Collection is the only product specifically designed for the rigours of outdoor-athlete training. Technology driven and purposefully built, Mountain Athletics apparel utilizes FlashDry™ technology and proprietary, active-stretch fabrications to provide unmatched durability, range of motion and performance to athletes training to push their limits in their outdoor sports.
