„Ski racing is not known to be an exclusively endurance driven sport. This is why I have to give special thanks to my conditioning coach, Christian Szepessy who introduced me to the SpiroTiger® training device. In my SpiroTiger® training program I focus mainly on training my trunk muscles as well as train for rehabilitation and high altitude simulations.

Since I have been doing this type of training, my trunk muscles have become noticeably stronger and my endurance capability has jumped up a few levels as well. The biggest joy for me is that after my potentially career ending knee injury, I was able to work out because the SpiroTiger® allowed me to get the training intensity I needed without putting more strain on my joints and ligaments. Thanks to the increased strength in my torso, my upper body has become more stable and this makes a huge difference to how I stand on my skis. Being more stable on my skis allows me to ski faster. I am able to recuperate better and faster than ever before which is a huge advantage in our almost crazy year-round calendar.

I train with the SpiroTiger® on a daily basis and can recommend it with a great deal of confidence.”
