Country Ski and Snowshoe
Country Ski and Snowshoe
Studies show a 175pound man can burn up to 800 calories per hour on crosscountry skis. XC has been named the quickest sport to redeem calories, barnone, and snowshoeing's not far behind.
There's nothing easy about moving crosscountry through snow. The white stuff puts up plentiful resistance, and your quads will alert you every time you try to kick your way out of a snow wallow. Hard snow and groomed tracks are easier to zoom over, but even they invite a fullbody workout, as your arms and legs will be constantly pumping.
The good news about XC skiing and snowshoeing is that each sport requires little expertise or athleticism. Expect to be competent your first day. Especially with snowshoeing, which is like striding to the corner store, basically, modified only by the lightweight composite tool on your foot and the two feet of packed powder beneath. As clerks in sports stores are fond of saying, "If you can walk, you can snowshoe."
Starting Out
The season for both forms of snow locomotion is, obviously, winter. Unlike downhill skiing or snowboarding, however, huge accumulations of snowfall aren't necessary to open XC or snowshoe season. As proved by the inevitable photos of commuters XC skiing to work through Central Park after New York's first snowfall, a few inches are enough. In reliably snowy places (like, for instance, mountains), XC and snowshoe season runs from December through March.
Where to try XC or snowshoeing? Almost anywhere. National forests, national parks, state parks and other recreation areas are as open to snowtromping as they are to hiking. Mount Rainier National Park near Seattle is renowned for its variety of terrain and amazing views. XC skiers often prefer groomed tracks to unmanaged snow; they find them at virtually every downhill ski area as well as at designated XC centers in chilly flatlands. Almost every town north of the MasonDixon line seems to have a bunny slope where you can try your skills. The Great Lakes statesespecially Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michiganare rife with XC locales, thanks to their cold winters and Scandinavian heritage.
Gearing Up
With either snowshoeing or XC (sometimes called Nordic skiing), don't buy anything before you've tried it.
Any place you wish to take up winter navigation should have shops that rent the basics. For XC, that means skis, boots, and poles. Skis will be long and thin (XC boards are commonly called "skinny skis" because they're significantly narrower than alpine skis). They're about six feet long (to spread your weight over the snow) and two to three inches wide (to keep them light and easy to propel). Choose between waxable or waxless skis. Waxable models take a wax (which is based on snow temperature) to provide enough grip to propel forward and climb hills. A waxless ski, on the other hand, uses a pattern on the base to supply traction.
XC boots are lightweight and extend to just above the ankle. A steel rod tucked under the toe of the boot snaps into a pivot point in the binding (which is built into the ski). So your toe is attached to the ski, but not your heel. This allows your heel to kick up, making for very easy forward motion of the boot. Poles are either aluminum or graphite. They're taller than alpine skiing poles, since XC skiers need to push themselves forward more often, and a long pole provides more oomph with each stroke.
Once you decide which gear works for you, says Cazeneuve, "Go to a ski shop or outfitter that specializes in Nordic equipment. Salespeople in those shops are probably the most enthusiastic skiers you will find." Consider their recommendations with one caveat: Different binding systems require specific boots, so make sure your gear is compatible. Skis with binding systems retail from $150 to $250 and can be found for $50 if they're used. Boots, used and new, run from $40 to $150.
For snowshoeing, gear means snowshoes and probably poles: While some snowshoers enjoy going handsfree, poles help immeasurably with balance and, to a lesser degree, propulsion. Snowshoes come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Men usually take bigger snowshoes than women, because, duh, they're bigger and heavier and need more surface area below them. The size of your snowshoe will also depend on conditions: Small, lightweight models are the choice of those who want to move fast across groomed or relatively smooth surfaces. Choose a bigger model if you'll be tromping through deep accumulations in the backcountry. The price range for snowshoes: $40 (used) to $300 (new, stateoftheart models).
While footwear is not up for debate with XCyou must use an XC boot to connect to the skithere is variability for snowshoeing. Your foot is lashed to the snowshoe with straps, buckles, or ratchet systems. Snowshoes will adapt to most anything on your paws. On sunny days with firm snow, some snowshoers enjoy wearing running shoes. On deep snow days, on the other hand, you'll want high, warm, weatherproof boots. GoreTex or other breathable, waterproof models work well. For snow clothes to work as they were designed, layer. Because XC and snowshoeing are aerobic efforts, you may frequently strip down to your thinnest layer. Below the waist try shell pants over long underwear or Lycra tights. XC skiers on groomed tracks sometimes ski just in tights. Above the waist, start with a zip turtleneck made of a moisturewicking material like Capilene or hightech wool blends. Add a wool sweater or fleece pullover depending on the temperature. On top you can wear an uninsulated shell or a thick parka, but a versatile midweight jacket works best. Waterproofbreathable materials are worth every extra cent.
Mittens are not recommended because you'll be handling poles and monkeying with your gear. Plus, they're generally too warm for such aerobic sports. Gloves have progressed to the point where some now insulate with miniature versions of space blankets. More practical are removable liners that let you adjust to the temperature.
The feet are most important. Contrary to some old wives tales that say two pairs of socks keep you warm, it's better to wear only one. The insulation in XC boots is enough to keep you warm, and skiers have found that more than one sock only cuts off circulation, prevents evaporation, and muddies the foottoski sensitivity. The best ski socks are synthetic, often a breathable acrylic.
Exploring the Snow
Your first snowshoe steps may be a little awkward, as you'll need to widen your gait a bit to ensure the snowshoes don't clang against each other. But soon you'll get it. You'll plane above the snow instead of sinking into it as you would without the wider platform. Hinge the snowshoe forward as you stride. Allow the metal cleats beneath the balls of your feet to bite into steeper surfaces, giving you traction you may not have thought possible with snow. They can take you virtually anywhere there's snow. These big webbed feet that attach to your smaller ones provide hasslefree access to the white world."
As you progress as a snowshoer, you'll go faster and seek out more spectacular locales for this fine aerobic workout. No lessons required. You get a cardio workout, with killer views, and can take the dog with you.
XC skiing is no doubt more difficult: Most humans are not accustomed to moving around with sixfoot planks attached to their feet. And dogs aren't allowed on most groomed tracks, as they leave divots. Lessons are available, usually $20 for a twohour session. Unlike with alpine skiing, XC lessons are not considered mandatory to start. The instructor will basically tell you the following: For basic movement, stride forward in a balanced position, kicking one ski forward then the next. Reach out with your poles as you move your skis forward.
To ascend small hills, use the "herringbone" technique, creating a "V" shape, with your ski tips spread wide and the tails of the skis close together. You'll climb because in this position, it's impossible to slide backward because the skis are angled against the snow.
To slow yourself on descents, do a "snowplow," which is the opposite of the herringbone. In the snowplow, the ski tips come toward each other while the tails spread out. You make sort of a triangle shape on the snow. To get moving again, relax the snowplow by letting the skis become parallel again. As ski instructors often tell children, the technique of snowplow/parallel can be described as "pizza slice/French fries, pizza slice/French fries."

Why Is Muscular Endurance Important In Sports
Why Is Muscular Endurance Important In Sports
Leg MusclesWhether you are running during a soccer game, playing four quarters of fullcourt basketball or racing a marathon, your leg muscles provide the strength and endurance you need. Having a welldeveloped quadriceps and calf muscles go a long way in helping you get through a long game or race. You also have to strengthen and develop the two muscles on the back of the leg, the soleus and gastrocnemius, for endurance and proper running form. "Running Anatomy" by Joe Puleo and Dr. Pat Milroy point out the power from the calves to push forward when running comes from these two muscles.
Aspects of Muscular EnduranceThe science of muscular endurance for sports is very in depth, but Tudor O. Bompa, in his study "Strength, Muscular Endurance, and Power in Sports," explains it well saying that endurance, strength and speed are keys to good performance, but the combination of muscular endurance and strength allow an athlete to perform multiple repetitions against resistance for a long period of time. Specifically, sports like distance running, rowing, cycling and cross country skiing have greater requirements of muscular endurance.
Strength and Endurance Equal Muscular EnduranceIt can't be emphasized enough to an athlete that combining strength and endurance result in muscular endurance. Again referring to Bompa's study, he explains that having muscular endurance is of prime importance to what is termed Cyclic Sports. These are sports that require muscular movements continuously such as running, cycling, cross country, skiing and skating. While muscular endurance is important for any athlete, some sports such as basketball, hockey and soccer require a greater balance of speed and strength, along with endurance.
