I feel the most "fun" way to develop muscles for a particular not-in-season-sport is to become involved in a sport (either team or individual) in which the muscles you want to develop are used. As as example, I find that basketabll is a good all-around muscle conditioner (although not highly aerobic in the classical sense). Bicycling is another sport that will help strengthen the skiing muscles in the legs. Another alternative is exercise classes, especially ones with tough floor exercises. It's always better suffering with a group of people than by yourself. Paul Beiser Hewlett-Packard Ft. Collins, Colorado ...{ihnp4,hplabs}!hpfcla!paul
