The one excercise that I find useful in preparing for skiing (skiing or snowboarding) is the wall sit. This was sometimes used in schools to measure kids conditioning - say 1minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes sitting. Its sitting (with the knees at a 90-degree angle) and the back resting on the wall.

Geez, "Great Dane" sounds so snobbish.

For me the biggest problem is re-hydrating afterwards. Drinking 1L of water and then sleeping with a full bladder. No idea how to avoid this

Hi,<br /><br />I'm interested in using the Concept2 as a cross-trainer for sprint kayaking. I've come across a kayak adaptor from Vermont Waterways. Has anyone used this adaptor? Is it adequate adaptor? <br /><br />Does anyone have recent experience with the manufacturer? Their web page (and presuma...
