Temperatures are heading towards freezing point, the first snow is in sight in some places: many people are already thinking about making their first turns. But before you hit the slopes, you should prepare your body a little. Fitness expert Lukas Grigorescu gives important tips in the latest part of the "Fit through the winter" series.

The good news: it's not too late to get your body in shape to cut a fine figure on the slopes. But that's not all: more fitness also means a lower risk of injury. "Sports are always about absorbing forces. A fit body can do this better," explains Grigorescu.
