Squats help strengthen your quads.

These exercises help the eccentric muscles – ones that you use when in the lowering phase of the exercise (or in skiing, in the turn).

1. Drop down into the low squat.
2. Hold it for 15 seconds

Raise up for 3”
Hold for another 15 seconds

Raise up another 3”
Hold for 15 seconds

Drop back down into the low squat (don’t stand up between sets)

Repeat this sequence two more times

If you think this is easy, look at Tristan’s face.
