What…seven months of procrastination wasn’t enough? Peel yourself away from the computer (after you read this article, of course), and do your first workout pronto. This is no time for heroics, however—begin on the low end of the suggested reps or you’ll risk spending the next two weeks nursing an injury rather than fooling your ski buddies into thinking you’ve been pumping iron all summer. Do one to three circuits of the following exercises (you can save the flexibility component until the very end if you’d prefer), and repeat the workout every other day until two days before your vacay, pushing yourself a little harder each time.
