Ski trips may not be quite the rage in India as they are abroad. But North India definitely has the facilities to deal with your love for snow!<\/p>

Winter is almost here and it\u2019s the perfect time to hit the slopes. Guess what? This sport is not just super fun to participate in and take pictures of, it\u2019s also got health benefits attached.<\/p>

Weight loss<\/strong><\/h4>

Won\u2019t it be great to go on a holiday and surprise your frenemies by returning a couple of kilos lighter?<\/p>

An hour of skiing can burn anywhere between 400-600 calories for an average adult. During an average skiing day, the calorie burnt count is around 3000.<\/p>

So a week\u2019s ski holiday can help you lose around 3-5 pounds! Isn\u2019t that awesome?<\/p>

Cardio<\/strong><\/h4>

\"Benefits<\/p>

If you hate sweat, this is a great way to get some cardio. If you\u2019re neutral about sweat, this is a great way to get some cardio. No one loves<\/em> sweat, really.<\/em><\/p>

As you speed down high altitude slopes, or use your energy to walk around in the heavy snow, your heart will be pumping and your blood flow will be excellent condition! Also, even carrying your skis to the top is exercise for your heart, especially in the cold weather.<\/p>

Sexy Legs<\/strong><\/h4>

<\/p>

Don\u2019t underestimate the power of simple skis! Skiing puts you in constant crouching position. It is quite a workout for your inner and outer thighs, quads, glutes and hamstrings. The beautiful surroundings and focus needed may distract you from the burn. But boy! Will you feel<\/em> it the next day!<\/p>

It also helps strengthens your knees and joints. If you suffer from any joint ailments, it is an excellent choice for exercise. This is because it\u2019s relatively low impact as opposed to running or other land-based sports.<\/p>

Healthy eating and hydration<\/strong><\/h4>

All your meals during a ski trip will be eaten to give you the energy to fuel, refuel and recuperate. It\u2019s highly likely that you\u2019ll become conscious of your food intake, increasing proteins and carbs, and cutting down unhealthy fats and junk food.<\/p>

Also, the weather out there is bound to make you feel thirsty and encourage you to increase your water intake.<\/p>

A ski trip can be an ideal opportunity to develop long-term healthy habits.<\/p>

Muscular strength<\/strong><\/h4>

\"Benefits<\/p>

You\u2019ll have those sexy sculpted legs when you\u2019re done, no doubt. But the sport also benefits almost every major muscle group. Balancing, turning and manoeuvring needs some core work. Thrusting forward and carrying your skis around will definitely work those arms. So you\u2019ll be working on getting a killer core and arms as you have a blast!<\/p>

Sound sleep<\/strong><\/h4>

After an exhausting day on the slopes, there\u2019s no way you\u2019ll have the energy to stay awake until midnight scrolling through your phone. Maybe you\u2019ll even drift off to sleep to the very first song you listen to or before you finish the first page of your book. And this sleep will be good.<\/p>

Disturbed sleep usually occurs because even though you\u2019re turning off your body, your mind continues to remain in a state of hyperactivity. But an exhausting sport like skiing makes sure that both your body and mind get a good night\u2019s rest.<\/p>

Have we told you the beautiful cold weather will definitely lift your mood and make you so, so happy. An excellent break for city dwellers! You\u2019ll also have time to bond with friends and family as you ski down, take breaks and stumble- laughing at each other.<\/p>
