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 .
