For the time starved recreational skier : for general fitness single workout which exercises the most muscles is rowing machine. For skiing add cycling / running. Sessions dont need to be long - 20 to 30mins rowing and same cycling/running most days will make a difference. Take few seconds break regularly during routine if muscles tiring - less chance of damage to muscles - but you should be in a sweat by the end.

Thanks for the info. Orders going off asap for the lot! Glad to read today of studies showing that short sessions of high intensity exercise are more beneficial than longer exercise sessions eg 20mins intense better than 60mins regular exercise. Suits me great! This might be the year... %-6

Deposit just paid for '07 austrian ski trip but stuck for yrs at intermediate level with occasional 'advanced' efforts. No off piste type ambitions but want to ski like a native austrian some year soon. Know all the ski school teachings from yrs of attendance but not all going from brain to skis. Any advice about good ski dvds?
