Ski Erg

On the Ski Erg, your posture is key. Start with your torso upright and your legs in a small squat position. Drive your legs down and back while your arms pull the handles down toward your hips in one explosive motion — everything moves together. Lean forward slightly from the ankles as you drive. Your breathing should be synchronized with your pull: exhale hard as you pull, inhale as you release. At easy pace your breathing is controlled. As you push harder, your breathing becomes rapid and powerful.
