INSTRUCTOR’S MANUAL
CHAPTER 7: MOVEMENT ADAPTATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS
One of the nice things about the SkiErg is that you can involve your legs as much or as little as you
want. If you’re looking for a full-body workout, be sure to engage your legs. The degree to which you
engage them is up to you.
RECOVERY
Did you have a really long hard run yesterday and your legs need some recovery time?
The SkiErg will use your legs some, but will shift some of the workout to your arms and core.
INJURY REHAB
Dealing with a leg injury?
You can get a solid workout on the SkiErg with minimal leg involvement, or even none at all. The
SkiErg can be used from a stool or chair, or simply standing on straight legs, putting the focus on arms
and core. Then you can gradually add the legs back in as instructed by your PT.
ADAPTIVE TRAINING
In a wheel chair, and looking for a good cardio option?
Pull up your wheelchair (works best with wall-mounted SkiErg.)
OBJECTIVES:
Understand the versatility and suitability of the SkiErg for recovery, rehab,
adaptive and other modified workouts.
