MAP MY RUN—Ski season is in full swing, but your body may still be in post-holiday recovery. Whether you’ve kept up your fitness routine or spent the last few months everywhere but the gym, use these easy exercises — recommended by experts from the Professional Ski and Snowboard Instructors of America and American Association of Snowboard Instructors — to get strong for the slopes.
