If you’re thinking of hitting the slopes this winter there are a lot of social reasons to do so. When booking your trip to Meribel through Ski Blanc though, you can justify it by more than just a holiday. Skiing is good for you and here are a few reasons why!

Build Those Leg Muscles – No one really likes putting the hours into the gym do they? Hitting the slopes is a fun way to build your leg muscles, working your thighs, hamstrings, glutes and quads through the crouching position you’ll so often find yourself in. Take in the natural beauty of your surroundings with the added bonus of strengthening your joints!

Cardiovascular Workout – Not only will your heart rate be elevated, but you’re also at altitude, meaning your blood will pump faster and you’ll burn more calories at a faster rate than other types of exercise.

Increase Your Water Intake – At high altitude everything will be that little bit harder to complete, leading you to take in much more water than you usually would. An increased intake of water is a great thing for your health.

Greater Sleeping Patterns – A good night’s sleep is important for your health and when skiing you’ll be shattered come the end of the day, after such a thrilling ride on the slopes. It’ll ensure you get to sleep easier, and sleep more deeply, giving you the real benefits of sleep in time for tomorrow.

Skiing trips are beautiful things, whether with family or close friends and although it won’t be the main reason for you to rake the trip, the health benefits are an additional bonus! To find out more about Ski Blanc and how we can help you book your holiday, give us a call today.
