Athlete using a SkiErg with both handles and the full machine visible.

Before you start

Set up the movement.

  1. 01

    Stand far enough from the machine for the cords to travel freely.

  2. 02

    Check that both handles and cords return smoothly.

  3. 03

    Begin with light pressure until the timing feels repeatable.

One useful cue

Keep the first rep repeatable.

Start tall, connect the handles to the trunk and finish with the arms without collapsing the lower back.

Training use

Purpose before prescription.

IN YOUR PLAN

Build smooth, repeatable efforts before using the machine in run-to-station combinations.

WITHOUT THE EQUIPMENT

Use controlled rowing for a similar full-body aerobic purpose when a SkiErg is unavailable.
