Cross country skiing is the ultimate total body workout. Skiing is a mix of an upper and lower body workout because of the “push” “pull” motions that work the muscles in both areas. In addition skiing is also a super calorie burning, because you are using so many muscles and energy the calories just melt away. Cross country skiing burns more calories than any other sport. Another large benefits is that it is a low impact sport that is very good for your joints.
