Your First SkiErg Workout
7. Begin with a minute or two of easy skiing to learn the technique.
Start with the double-pole technique as it uses more muscle groups
and gives you a better overall workout.
8. Ski steadily and easily for 3 minutes at a cadence.
Continue to practice good technique while also settling into a comfortable rhythm.
9. Rest for several minutes' instructions, walk or stretch.
10. Ski easily again for 3-5 minutes depending on your comfort.
11. Rest again for 1-2 minutes.
12. Repeat Step 4 two or three times.
Gradually increase your skiing time and intensity over the first two weeks. Do not ski
at full power until you are comfortable with the technique and have skied for at
least a week. Like any physical activity, if you increase the volume and intensity too
rapidly, fails to warm up properly, or use poor technique, you will increase the risk of
injury.
