Get on a Trikke and get fit for skiing

A lot of skiers have tired and aching muscles after there first days of skiing. Most of them are on a holiday and don’t need pain during their well deserved vacation!! There are some boring Ski-Fit programs that can be followed, but what winter sports fanatics really want to do is carving the snow! The Trikke is a completely new 3 wheeled vehicle in form and function. Now it’s possible to carve the streets like a pro! It’s as close to skiing on pavement as you can get! Riding a Trikke is the only FUN and exiting way to get fit for snow trips this winter!

What’s a Trikke?
The Trikke is an innovative three-wheeled vehicle that takes the best out of popular vehicles of today and combines them into a completely new machine in form, function and riding experience. Trikkes patented 3CV technology makes it possible for a rider to propel the Trikke forward without pushing or pedalling. By rocking the steering column and by making small turns a rider can propel himself up to 30 km/h, up-hill and down-hill. The Trikke makes it possible to carve the streets like a professional skier.

So how does it work exactly?
In the simplest of terms, you rock & roll to make a cambering vehicle go. An experienced rider uses the entire body in a gracefully coordinated motion that leans the vehicle into each turn and transfers the momentum of each forward thrust into the next turn and the next. A Trikke ride combines the utility of human powered transportation with the thrill of carving deep ski or snowboard style turns.
Because of the vehicle’s design, a rider can learn to maximize the velocity generated from making each turn and then transfer that momentum into the next turn, and so on and so on. Propulsion can be so effortless that it feels like magic or as demanding as a full-blown sprint.

And how does it help to get fit for skiing?
During a Trikke ride a rider uses the exact same muscles as used with skiing. The quadriceps, hamstrings, lower back muscles and gluteus are used in each turn. These muscles are also used with skiing, next to these big muscle groups all the little muscles that most people don’t even know they exist are being used as well. In and around the lower back, the abdominals, the knees and the ankles are a lot of small muscles that coordinate body movements. Static training on fitness machines do not stimulate or train these muscles at all. But these small muscles are actually the ones you feel after a good day of skiing and more important is that these small muscles keep your body and joints inline and therefore prevent sports injuries. So riding a Trikke can help in preventing sports/skiing injuries and will prevent tired and aching muscles during the winter sports holidays.

So it’s like a gym on wheels?
Because a Trikke rider uses all large muscles groups at the same time a Trikke ride results in a high cardio vascular workout. You can compare a Trikke ride to a workout on a rowing or cross trainer, but then way more fun and exiting! Up to 400 calories can be burned in just 30 minutes. So riding a Trikke can also help you in losing weight and toning your body. So yes a Trikke is like a gym on wheels.

There are no more excuses, the Trikke can get you fit, toned and prepared for the ski season. It’s fun, it’s outdoor and it’s as close to skiing on pavement as you can get!
