SkiErg

How to do it

Stand facing the SkiErg with one handle in each hand overhead and knees softly bent. Hinge and drive both handles down past your thighs using the lats and trunk, then stand tall and guide the handles back overhead under control.

Setup

Stand about an arm length from the machine with feet hip width and one handle in each hand. Start tall with arms overhead, shoulders down, ribs controlled, and a light athletic knee bend.

Where you should feel it

Through the lats, triceps, abdominal wall, and posterior chain as the handles drive down. The return should stay smooth rather than pulling the shoulders upward.

When to use it

Use for low-impact full-body conditioning, ski-specific power, or interval work. Track time, distance, pace, and effort consistently.
