You don’t need to regularly bump into the slopes to add ski-inspired exercises to your training routine. The ski abdomen is an abdominal movement that moves like a slalom racer (no snow).

When it comes to full body training in the mountains of physical merit, skiing ranks high on the list, so try this ski-inspired abdominal workout.

Ski ABS Exercises: Step-by-Step Instructions

We have cultivated a short but sweet step-by-step list of how to do this exercise.

  • Stack your shoulders in your hand and start with a tall board. Align your shoulders, hips and heels.
  • Press your shoulders to lengthen your back. Push your hips down and pull your stomach in. Avoid dropping your hips to the floor.
  • Please place your hands still. Jump both feet forward, draw your knees towards your chest, and land your feet together on the floor on the right side of your right hand. Align your left knee with your right elbow outside.
  • Go back to Plank and reset. Then do the same on the left side.
  • Exhale as you move forward.

Which muscles work in the ski abdomen?

Ski ABS challenges your AB muscles and requires zero equipment to do so.

This aerobic abdominal movement burns calories by manipulating multiple muscle groups at the same time. Ski abdomen may also boost your metabolism.

1. Abdominal

To prevent the spine from overstretching, the abdominal abdomen (6 packs of AB muscles) kicks into gear between the high plates.

2. Lateral abdomen

The 6 pack protects the lateral abdomen (the deepest abdomen that helps surround the waist) contract to protect the spine while the 6 pack stabilizes the spine. This protection is especially important as this movement involves jumps and twists.

3. diagonal

Every time you twist, your diagonal moves. The diagonal muscles are located on the sides of the body and are responsible for rotating the torso. When you do the ski abdomen, two sets of diagonals work. It is diagonal inside and outside.

4. Support cast

Your hip flexors work to pull your knees towards your chest. The calves work to let you spring from the floor. And PEC, triceps and shoulder muscles work to maintain a safe upper body alignment between the planks.

The advantages of ski abdomen

The ski abdomen takes the classic high plank and combines it with primets (explosion, jumping movement) and intense spinning. These combinations of movements really put your midsection in tone.

Stabilizing the spine during jumps and rotation is one of the core’s most important tasks. Strengthening your core reduces your chances of hurting yourself outside the gym.

“The great thing about these moves is that they really increase the intensity while focusing on controlled movements,” says Aaron Leventhal of CSCS, a former professional footballer and owner of Minneapolis-based Fit Studio. “Trying yourself to maintain good shape on your ski abdomen will help you focus on your core.

Like any other plyometric movement that builds strength from explosive movements, you gain the most strength when you can achieve landing with control. A steady landing will not only give you killer ABS, but it will be useful to do other exercises like jump squats and box jumps that enhance your athletic performance.
