Ski season is rapidly approaching and with it means sore quads. That is if you don't do any preseason conditioning. I would start with the simple assessment of the your quad endurance, which is also a great exercise to add into your routine.

Wall Sit Test
Assesses: Quad strength and endurance

  1. Place your back against the wall, and walk your feet out and away from the wall about 3 ft.
  2. Bend your knees allowing your back to slide down the wall.
  3. Bend both your hips and knees to 90 degrees and adjust your feet as needed. Imagine you are sitting in an invisible chair.
  4. Start your stop watch now and see how long you can hold the position. Don't forget to breathe!
