Ski Ergometer · Preview

STEP 1

Setup

Grip the handles with both hands and place your feet hip-width apart. Lift your chest and bend your knees slightly.

STEP 2

Start phase

Brace your core and pull the handles down. Use your shoulders and lats together as you fold your torso.

STEP 3

End phase

Return the handles overhead and come back to the starting position. Maintain a steady tempo without using momentum.

STEP 4

Target muscles

Feel your lats and core connect as you pull. Create the rhythm with your whole torso rather than using only your arms.

STEP 5

Common mistakes

Rounding your back too much quickly increases fatigue. Maintain a neutral spine and adjust your range of motion.

STEP 6

Breathing

Exhale as you pull and inhale as you return. Keep your breathing rhythm steadier as the distance increases.

STEP 7

Coach tip

Prioritize maintaining your pace over using high intensity at first. Build distance on top of a stable tempo.
