How do you train your abs? One secret to your toned body.
Katharina Hennig:
In addition to traditional strength training, core stabilization exercises play a significant role in my regimen. Working with a sling trainer has proven to beparticularly effective for enhancing core strength and stability. Moreover, core work is integrated into our training sessions on roller skis or skis, emphasizing the importance of a strong core for maintaining good technique and speed. A solid core serves as the foundation for athletic performance and is essential for maximizing efficiency and power in cross-country skiing.
Given the extensive hours of training in our sport, we burn a significant amount of calories, making carbohydrate replenishment crucial during periods of intense training or competition. Overall, my nutrition revolves around a healthy, varied, and balanced diet, with an emphasis on consuming less meat and incorporating plenty of vitamins. When training volume decreases, I adjust my food intake accordingly, ensuring a balance between input and output to maintain optimal energy levels and performance.
