When you can’t make it outdoors, train like a cross-country skier — and build serious cardiovascular fitness — in the Club.
Do More With is a series highlighting equipment around the Club that can help you reach your fitness goals. In this installment, we highlight the SkiErg, available on the Club floor.
It’s no surprise that the SkiErg is a valuable training tool for recreational and pro skiers.
As you can guess from the name, the piece of equipment was originally designed for cross-country skiers. By tugging its handles from your head toward the floor, you’re able to recreate the same full-body workout — and practice the same movement patterns — of the sport indoors. That means you can maintain and level up your fitness even when there’s not a snowflake in sight.
But in my opinion, the SkiErg is not used nearly as much as it should be in the Club — and you don’t have to be an aspiring winter Olympian to benefit from it.
