For those of you that may or may not know, i was in a bad car accident at 18 years old. I have bad limp and my leg doesn't fully work.
With 5 fused spinal vetebrea my movement is diminished and i need to be a bit careful with myself. I spent a lot of my life kinda running from this in various ways. The last 5 years or so, I've really got my shit together better. Focused on my fitness and built my body back up after years of neglect.
We brought the kids to Ski in the 6 week world schooling hub, that was about learning to ski, skiing with friends and cultural education.
It was called Articterns and was an amazing program that i would recommend to any parents with ski aged kids.
Well through the month the kids kept asking me if i would go skiing with them. I really wanted to, but it has been 25 years since i skied last. I knew i was in good shape, but that skiing was dynamic and would test muscles that I wouldn't typically use.
So i decided to
dedicate myself through the month to building my core even stronger and see if i wanted to be brave.
I joined a gym. it was awesome
highquality gym with a lot of variation of equipment and the best part it was nearly always empty! i worked a lot with the 15kg weight bag, doing lots of random and side lifting and crawling side drag reps. I was working on walking and switching wieght so that my balance would be tested. I felt very strong after 5 weeks of this, so made the decision to go skiing my last day.
there is no real fancy thing about this video, just me skiing and filming my daughter skiing. But for me, it was an amazing triumph to get back out there on the slopes and to see Amari and how much she had learned through the time at the ski hub. The perfect cap to a great 6 weeks.
the song in this video is called Brace Yourself, by my band Kaldera
