SKIING TECHNIQUE
How to Ski
Begin with your hands
shoulder-width apart and
slightly above your head.
Your arms should be
bent. Your feet should be
shoulder-width apart.
Drive the handles
downward by engaging
your core 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 legs.
Extend your arms upward
and straighten your body
to return to the start
position.
Grips
Use the strap and grip as
you would use a Nordic
ski pole. Slip your hand up
through the loop and then
come down over the strap
and grasp the handle.

USE & TRAINING
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 is designed to be pulled with both hands at the same
time. The SkiErg enables you to train using the motion that is
essential to all techniques of skate and classic skiing.
