Nordic skiing has long been recognized as delivering one of the most complete workouts around. It helps to develop endurance and strength while exercising the legs as well as the core and arms. Now Concept2 makes these benefits available to everyone with the SkiErg. You can use the SkiErg with classic technique, alternating arms or the double pole technique.
You might ask why a rowing company is making a SkiErg? Well the answer is quite simple. Concept2 is located in northern Vermont in the USA. There is ice on most of the lakes for about half the year, which is why the indoor rower was developed in the first place. Skiing and rowing both use a tremendous amount of strength and endurance so they work well for cross training. Being able to do this cross training all year for either sport is the reason for the SkiErg. In fact Concept2 has been using the indoor rower for a variation of ski erg since 1982 and decided to make it a product for sale in the past 5 years.
Concpet2 has been producing the Indoor Rower since 1981 and uses this experience to make the SkiErg. This means that you know the machine is well designed, easy to maintain and built to last a lifetime. It uses the same flywheel and monitoring system as the indoor rower so you get instant accurate measurements of you work.
The SkiErg is made for everyone, the weekend athlete who needs to get ready for the snow, anyone looking for a great overall body workout, or the elite skier trying to improve the poling power. You can achieve your goals with the Concept2 SkiErg.
