Cross Country Skiing… The ULTIMATE Work Out!
Went on a cross country skiing trip with friends this weekend. I think that cross country skiing is the BEST workout for the entire body. And the cardio benefits are amazing! I ended up pushing myself and managed to ski 45 miles this time. It’s a grueling amount of miles to do, but WOW what a work out! If you have never tried it, I highly recommend it. No one is too old to learn!

45 miles? Wow that’s awesome, used to cc ski when I lived in N Michigan…but never even close to 45 miles, how do you feel now?

The only problem with cc skiing like that……..you have to live someplace where there’s enough snow for 45 miles! I’ll take downhill skiing for vacations & no shovelling snow at home.
But GREAT job on the workout.

Al - If you had 2 miles of snow you could just ski in circles 22 times
Ledford - I feel good. I usually push myself pretty hard on cardio, so I have worked up pretty good stamina. But last night I just dropped into bed and slept for 12 hours! lol

CC is the sport where you burn the most calories per hour. More taxing than running and biking. We from Norway are born with skis on, our national sport!! Excellent choice for cardio, Kiara.

that is fantastic, and i have to say it is one of the best over all work out i can think of.
But living in North Carolina i don;t think i have every seen more thana few inches of snow except when going to see my family in New York. Plus being of Greek decent my blood is just a little to thin. hahahaha
