SkiErg Product Manual
The SkiErg offers terrific exercise for the entire body. Each pull
engages the legs, arms, shoulders and core in a downwards
“crunch,” using body weight to help accelerate the handles. Each
pull finishes by extending the arms down along the hips with
knees partly bent.
The SkiErg enables you to train with the double-pole motion that
is essential to both skate and classic skiing.
Classic skiing technique (alternating arms) is also possible.

ENGLISH
Double-Pole
Technique
Begin with your hands
shoulder-width apart at
about eye level. Your
arms should be bent.
Your feet should be
shoulder-width apart.
Drive the handles
downward by engaging
your abdominal muscles
and bending your knees.
Maintain the bend in
your arms to keep the
handles fairly close to
your face.
Finish the drive with
knees slightly bent, and
arms extended down
alongside your thighs.
Bring your arms back up
and straighten your body
to return to the start
position.
Classic Skiing Technique
(alternating arms)
Begin with one arm raised and
slightly bent.
Pull down with the top arm, while
gradually raising the lower arm.
Continue to alternate arm pulls,
keeping some bend in the pulling
arm, as it is a stronger position.
