What better way to purge those festive over-indulgences by lining out on the Promenade des Anglais on the 8th >>
Why not feel in shape from the very first ski day this year?
BY Alex McAfee FOR FR2DAY.COM Jan 3, 2012
Have you ever wished you were in better shape when you hit the slopes on a beautiful ski day? Almost any skier has, according to 2-time Olympian and ski fitness expert, Anja Bolbjerg, herself a passionate skier. After competing for 10 years in the World Cup in moguls skiing, she still wanted more. After a break of few years from competitive skiing, she qualified for the Freeride World Tour on a wild card in 2010 and finished a very impressive 7th on the Freeride World Tour 2011.
Anja, well known to many of you, is also a local Riviera personal trainer and is now giving ski fitness classes in Cap d'Ail beside Monaco. The classes are open to everyone - you just have to reserve your spot beforehand.
"I am used to training people of different ages and fitness levels, so everyone can join. I do like to see people get results though, so I adjust the exercises accordingly, so everyone is sure to get the most out of it. The workouts are full body workouts with focus on skiing relevant exercises incorporating balance and strength. I push you to keep a high intensity, so we work the cardio-vascular system at the same time."
Anja also runs Riviera Fit Body here on the Riviera, from where she does fitness consulting, runs bootcamps and corporate fitness challenges.
The ski fitness classes are held every Tuesday night at 20h15 in the Salle de la Mer by the Cap d'Ail Tennis Club and the Amphitheatre. For more information or to sign up, log on to the Riviera Fit Body website or contact Anja directly by email, or phone 06.37.41.16.86
