INSTRUCTOR’S MANUAL
Basic Elements for Successful Group Skiing
Options for setting up machines:
• In a line or rows facing instructor
• Along a wall, not able to see instructor
• In a semi-circle around and facing instructor
Tips for workout design:
• Use time: When working in a group with a variety of ability and speed levels, use timed
workouts to keep everyone together. If you use distance workouts or intervals, people will
finish at different times, making it harder to keep the group together. But everyone will finish
a 5 minute effort at the same time! This also applies to intervals: set up intervals of set time,
with set rest time. This will keep your group together, while allowing each group member to
exercise at their appropriate intensity.
• Try synchronization: There’s something about a synchronized stroke that makes the whole
greater than the sum of the parts. If everyone is driving the handles down at the same time,
the alignment of effort makes it seem somehow easier and more compelling. It’s worth trying
for this added benefit.
