Video

Use the finger, find your pulse..15sec and multiple by 4.

The video is interesting but, for me, not very useful. My Garmin watch gives widely varying heart readings so I'm thinking of buying a chest strap. But I want to know about connectivity. If you run and have a chest strap monitor do you have to take your smartphone along to see your heart rate or can you download on to your smartphone after the run, like I do with my watch? When you say the Garmin chest strap and watch 'talk to each other' what exactly does that mean?

I'm sick of heart rate monitors and so called smart watches, they never work consistently, no matter how expensive they are and straps connected to apps don't connect or disconnect mid workout too often

i wish i saw this before i hiked snowdon today lol. The jamming really slowed me down when i walked downhill and became painful. When i got the chance i walked backwards which helped relieve the pressure of the feet and toes

Such a lovely upload my friend, so nicely filmed and explained 👏

I have the fenix 7 pro (elevate 5), I'm checking it together with the band with the auxiliary heart rate app... the precision is impressive, even during repetitions. I tried to do an extreme test (repeated short uphill runs for 20 seconds at maximum), it performed well there too

Well, last year I changed to vegetarian for a year ( I ate chicken which I thought was included, oops). I lost weight slowly with easy cardio and tone for 20 to 30 minutes daily before I went to work. Until summer time I decided to do lift again following the Thinner Leaner and Stronger book. I ended up gaining weight about 3 lbs more. It did not work! I continued with an easy workout from CZcams. My weight is still the same as stable. I couldn't lose 3 lbs. I accepted hard ha. But, then I was told that I need to eat 30 percent of meat and 70 % of vegetables for my health issue. I changed back to the regular diet. Sometimes I miss vegetarianism. I wonder if the next level book is similar to a thinner leaner and stronger book? I need to read it at the books store soon. Thanks for sharing.

Well done. Great videos.

I'm 65 and these days my balance is a challenge at times, I almost always bring poles when I go for a walk or hike just as a safety thing.

i use poles for everything. In any situation my poles keep me from falling on my fat butt

Stop showing single pole usage, this is very inefficient and not how poles should be used. Yes more calories are used due to the number of muscle groups involved but the body is working at an overall lower intensity - think of it like your upper and lower body as seperate engines involved when powering you over the terrain but at lower output / revs compared to lower body maxed out, leading to further, faster and less overloaded. That said technique is crucial and most people have no idea. With practice steep loose terrain is much safer and quicker with poles but this is analogous with less breaking when MTB ing - takes practice. In some long distance races they are called cheat stick's for a reason and banned.

Very cool video, just came across your channel from it. My family just started the process of getting seriously into hiking, and got everyone a set of adjustable poles. The hand swelling is seriously an underrated & not talked about aspect of using poles, if you have circulatory issues even more so. So far we've found having super easy to adjust and also having an easy way to attach it to your pack when you don't want to use them makes using poles super fun. Almost adds a layer of "strategy" to the hikes. Anyway look forward to more of your content!

Super interesting topic, thanks! Unless I know I'm staying on tame terrain I almost always bring my poles. When they make it out of my pack is when the terrain gets steep and rocky, but like you said I put them away if I get to something steep enough to require scrambling. The only other consideration I have is if there is snow and ice present. If it's slick, sometimes I like to have them even on flat terrain in case of slips.

Thanks for this. I fell 4 times coming down from Mt. LeConte in Tennessee. I finally grabbed a stick as a staff and was so much more stable from that point on. Definitely recommend poles especially for downhill and when you're tired. p.s. Keep up the guitar-playing

Thanks so much

Speaking of correctly set DIN when I turned 50 I turned down my DIN as you are supposed to do past 50. Skiing hard through frozen crud released my right ski causing a high speed crash and break of my humerus. An entire ski season lost (this happened in December). I turned my DIN back up next season. 😞

Any tips for someone who struggles to lift the big toe while pressing the other toes down? I can press my big toe down while lifting the other toes alright. Thank you!!

Hi

This was so interesting I hope you can make more of these, Mikaela is a legend.

Hi, thanks for these videos. I do 3 days of free weights training a week (mon, wed, fri), with core workouts on the 2 alternating days (tue, thu), and then 2 days rest. I do some light cycling each day as a warm up. I was wondering which days would it be best to include the plyo training? Thank you!

Thanks Alecia, I’m sure I can put together one of them boards…. First time skiing in a decade this November so 6 months to get fit again!

AMAZING VIDEO, WOW!

Awesome, ok. I’ll try these. My ski season might be ending this weekend. The mountain will be open at least 3 more weeks but a strange thing is happening to me. I’m starting to look forward to hiking season starting at least as much as I’m lamenting the end of ski season. 😂 it’s the first time these forces are nearly equal. Usually the former is just enough to take the edge off the latter. But in two weeks I have to decide between a weekend of spring skiing or climbing a mountain. I’m leaning toward the climbing!

Fantastic video!! You shared some great tips.

that's what she said literally lol @2:11

Thanks Alicia. I had a much better season by going in strong. I will keep it up. Have learned a lot from you. Thank you

Thanks Alecia, another great routine!

Always great to see your smiling face !!

In your pivot slips did you mean to point your hips(pelvis) bone across the hill?

Excellent excellent video combining ski fundamentals with some dry land training. Excellent stuff. Working on getting those hips forward at initiation in my own turns.

as a progression you can try to already do the next turn while jumping, i.e., jump facing in one direction, land facing the other direction, repeat. keeping the skis' tips in the snow makes this a bit easier. this way, you don't just get forward but forward diagonally, which is the direction you want for edging the ski.

You are an excellent carver. And you nailed it on the burning quad comment. Most of the non serious skiers that "want" to get better simply aren't stong enough nor willing to do what it takes to get strong enough. But as long as it's fun.

The season is over here in Pennsylvania, but I have 8 months of pre season training. Definitely jumping is something I do! Now I have a better understanding of application. TY!

what year are those skis ...LOL

Front of the pelvis over the back of the heals is the center. Good to know where you're starting from. Great advice .

I trail alone in remote places as a female as well do you carry an alarm to scare cougars/bears in case?

Excellent informational video. You were engaging.

during carving, is the inside leg in the same position as when doing a parallel turn (ie at an angle leaning towards the top of the mountain)? tried to incorporate my knees into carving and i find that my inside leg automatically positions itself as if im skiing parallel

Hurrah! Thanks for getting around to this. Just ran through it, awesome!

Wow. Never knew this. Thanks!

If you are only an A or B cup you have different concerns than someone with larger, heavier breasts.

Easy to do and helpful

LQQKING good . . . Love it !! Thanks for sharing !!!

@0:40 very nice corridor skiing indeed :)

So true! You need that upper body strength for balance and posture while on the slopes (and life).

Sorry girl but in my racing experience you are talking about rail riding not carving. A carve is the flexing of the ski when it is set on edge and can involve a slight skiding aspect for control. Between the carving part of the turn is the unweighted transition. When running gates we search for the perfect carve but it often has to be sacrificed to conform to the terrain and dynamics of the course, In slalom a carve is a short burst. In giant slalom it is a longer extended carve with a more powerfull rebound. Show carving when running gates. I see your slalom skis in the background

Thanks for the subject Years ago l had archilles tendonitis went skiing for 3 weeks and it was healed. Also widths of skis ,a 98mm vs 68mm . 98mm works brilliantly in powder ,a 68mm works fantastic on fast groomers . The opposite generally doesn't work . 98mm on fast groomers are ok .however its a skidded . High edge angles on 98 mm could place alot of torque and sheering forces on the knee. Taking a zx10r to a motorcross track doesn't work however taking it around the track slowly can be done.
