The benefits of cross-country skiing on your health are well known and documented, but there are other advantages to this sport. Contrary to downhill skiing, you don’t need to wait in line for long periods of time before getting on a ski lift, nor do you need an annual pass. Once you’ve nailed down the basics, you can even do a few laps around your local soccer field.
It’s also a great way to do a good cardio workout and operate a variety of muscles in your body; from pecs to abs to adductors to calf muscles.
