This weekend for the 4th of July weekend, we’re going up to our Uncle’s cottage as a family get-away weekend, and he has a boat out there and we’re supposed to go tubing and skiing if the weather holds up. I am on an exercise routine right now, and for the weekend, I just need to have a few physical activities going. I was wondering if these would count? I mean, it will definitely get my heart pumping, and it’s really fun! I will probably not be sweating much though.

I have a husky mix that’s about a year old, and she has a very heavy fur coat. I’m worried about her becoming overheated during exercise, because during the winter, we would cross-country ski for 1-2 hours nearly every day. Now that it’s warmer outside, I don’t want her to overheat when we go out, but she is used to a lot of daily activity. About how much walking/running does she need on a daily basis? She always has water available, and she even gets Frosty Paws when I think she might be too hot.

Hello! I work out my back twice a week! I always do three exercises to work out my back. I love to ski, where you pull the sled handles back while sitting down and it works out your back. However, I use the ski exercise as one of the three exercises every time I go to the gym. I always mix up the other two back exercises and change them up every time I work out my back at the gym.
I began ski-ing 120 pounds, and after a month, I still only rep-ed around 130 pounds. To me, this is a very small increase.
Is this because I am ski-ing every time I work out my back muscles?
But I always see people bench press on their chest days every time, and they still get bigger!

I was a competitive ski racer in hs until I dislocated my knee at 16 and found out I had chrondomalacia patella. The sports injury doctor suggested I switch to snowboarding instead, as it would be less likely to twist my knee. I’m 22 now and have been snowboarding for 5 years but have a tough time with a long day on the mountain due to knee pain. I would like to try and strengthen the muscles around my knee in the off season but I can’t remember my pt exercises.

ps. I have strength bands (which I used during my initial pt) if these will help
