Temperatures on the mountain are cold, but you can melt fat and light your muscles on fire by training like a winter athlete. "Skiers need incredible lower-body strength, muscular endurance, and core stability to stay under control while speeding down a mountain," says BJ Gaddour, C.S.C.S. and creator of Men's Health StreamFit.
Test your abilities in all three categories with this ski-inspired challenge. You'll crank out rep after rep of the skier swing, the skier squat, and the skier jump, hammering your muscles, sweating bullets, and building a body that's ready to blow past the bunnyhills.
How to do it: Grab a stopwatch, and time yourself performing 20 reps of each exercise in a row. That's 1 run. Do 2 more. (Between runs, only rest for as long as it took you to complete your last run.) To figure out your final score, add up your run times, and then divide them by 3 to find the average time. Your goal: 60 seconds.
