Description

The ski ergometer is a high intensity, full-body workout machine designed to mimic the motion of cross-country skiing.

Starting Position

Stand facing the ski ergometer with handles in hands, feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and core engaged.

Technical Execution

Drive through the legs, engage the core, and pull the handles down towards your hips in a fluid, controlled motion.

Range of Motion

Maintain a full range of motion by fully extending the arms and legs during each stroke.

Variations

Variations include altering the pace, resistance level, or incorporating intervals for a more challenging workout.

Common Mistakes

Common mistakes include incorrect posture, using too much arm strength, and failing to engage the core muscles properly.

Practical Advice

Ensure proper form by keeping your back straight, engaging your core, and using your legs to drive the motion.

Additional Notes
