- The low-impact, full-body workout you get on the SkiErg can have both endurance and aerobic benefits. The technique shown in this video is based on the extremely powerful, efficient techniques used by Nordic skiing athletes.
Focusing on technique can help you get the most out of your SkiErg workout. We cover start (the beginning of the stroke), the drive, which initiates by engaging your core, and the finish (hands by your hips).

Thank you. That’s all’s I wanted. I just watch a 10 minute video and the guy never used the damn thing half way though and I gave up. This is what I wanted. Straight to the point!
I think we watched the same video😂
💀
Just fast forward??
I just tried this and i absolutely loved it! After no gym for over a year my arms are so weak. Could only manage 2 minutes on here and looking forward to building that up. Great overall body workout.
Same same same
I love it they have two at our gym managed 7minutes so far keep going you’ll get there xxxx
I’m on this often now
Can someone please tell me what muscles feel sore after using this.
@@Boddah. Never felt sore from it.Arms possibly if way too long.
I just used a skierg yesterday ,and I did 5000 meters. It was so much fun if I was going to buy exercise equipment it would be a skierg.
My record on 5000 is 22.21
Wbu?
@@lukluk7900 Strong time that. Do you use max resistance? I always do that. I clocked in at 17.34 on my 4000m today. But then I was completely exhausted. So doubt I could have gone further 1000m in the same tempo.
@@kvassrock resistance between 6 ~7, enough for long time trening, full resistance using only on sprint distance, 😉
Thanks. I was using one of these in the gym today and wanted to know the best positions. I will know for Saturday! Thanks so much. Great bit of equipment
Listen you Mancock, you should be visiting the gym 7 days a week fatty.
I tried this machine at my gym. It hits the triceps in a way that other machines cant. I Love it and with the display i can see my progress.
Really? Not even the tricep pushdown on cable? 🤣🤣🤣
@@muscleguyphilippines this machine is used differently, because I spend more time on it rather than e.x having 3sets of 8-15reps doing triceps pushdown. i know i can just do more reps at a lower weight but i rather use this one.
OMG. Love this machine more and more.
It really is a full-body workout, not just an upper-body one.
And a great cardiovascular workout at the same time!
(Shift to "splitting wood" motion to mix it up)
*The most underrated machine in the world*
Just don't tell everyone ... or it will be taken at the gym ;)
Turn around so you pull the out and down (while rotating the hips) to work the triceps in a way similar to outrigger canoe paddling. I did that in the gym today for 30 minutes (3K). No one said anything to me. I experimented with different positions (bent waist with direct over the head and down pulls, diagonal over the head and down pulls always working the triceps muscles in various angles).
My Energie Fitness gym has just got a couple of these machines so good to see a vid with the basic techniques. Looking forward to using it tomorrow.

Just purchased one this past week, and this thing is amazing. Can’t wait to assemble the bikerg tomorrow.
Do you mean SkiErg? This video is about the SkiErg.
If BikeErg, how do you like it? I’m not so big into biking.
I used this today for the first. I had no idea what I was supposed to do. All I could think was "is this supposed to imitate skiing?".
Had no idea what these were supposed to be. So it's skiing then. Pretty cool.
One arm at a time is better, it’s smoother and you can do a longer aerobic worker with strength training. The two arm technique strains the lower back.
Good all rounder gym warm up your muscles routine 👍🏻
Racked up over 20 million meters on my C2 rower that I’ve owned since 1998. Now I’m hooked on the Skierg. I try to demonstrate the technique used here at my gym but no one seems to care enough to follow my lead. Everyone, including the trainers, seem to think it’s some sort of static Nautilus machine...so frustrating and annoying.
Just keep at it - lead by example!
@@concept2usa Thanks...will give it my best shot. Incidentally , can one become a certified trainer on the Skierg just as they can for the Rowerg?
Just what I want; all the pain, tediousness and boredom of cross country skiing with none of the scenery or connection with the natural world.
Hahahahaha 😂 👌
Then it’s perfect!
😂😂
I have my iPad cradled between the towers and watch Netflix.
In my country we have to take a 4 hour flight and spend a lot of money renting equipment in order to go skiiing. So this machine is fantastic for us who cannot do any kind of winter sports
Got two at our gym I love it
As a CrossFit “athlete” I didn’t even think about the alternating arms classic style. Why don’t I see that more often??
Oh thanks man I'm just wondering about how do I do this with my injury in the knee 👏🏻 u already answered 👌🏻
I am here for the same reason. I hope your knee recovered fully and now it is functioning at its Best!
I have the C2 rower, but would like this bit of kit too. Unfortunately don't have the room in my home to accommodate this. I may join a local reasonably priced gym just to get to use the c2 skierg.
I tried it but decided to go for a rowing machine instead. Gives you a better workout.
They are running a competition at my gym for fastest 100m on the ski erg my best is 16.2 seconds just checked the world record Eddie hall smashed 13.1 that's crazy man's truly a beast not only is worlds strongest man but also his cardio is impressive for a man of his size
As you don't have to carry your weight around a lot using this machine its actually benefitial to be a bit strong and heavy. If you are skiing for real your weight will have a big impact. So being good at this machine doesnt mean you are a great cross country skier. But it sure helps and it is great workout anyways!
Also the worlds biggest wanker
PAHAHA STOP I DIDNT KNOW YOU HAD TO BEND YOUR LEGS- IT WAS MY FIRST TIME IN THE GYM TODAY AND I JUST STOOD STILL AND MOVED MY ARMS HAHA
thanks for the tips!
I saw these at my new gym today. Now I know what to do with it 😂
Is there a similar video for intermediate skiers -- people who ski XC on snow and also want to train indoors?
Should elbows point straight down or flair out a bit ? Should arms be Shoulder with apart the whole stroke or starting more at ear width apart ?
thanks! yay 2022
Tried it today for the first time and I could only do a few minutes. My body is exhausted.
I just tried it today too and my days it’s a brutal workout
sooo, skiErg or rower?
This guy is soo xc-skier, clearly seen from his tehnique :D
Is it safe on the lower back?
My box doesn’t even have a ski erg :(
That's a shame. Mine was in the box when it arrived to my house. Maybe you should contact customer support.
My box has 2 ski ergs now
Two for the price of one. 2 machines in the one box. Not to quick on the jokes in crossfit are we? And why not just call it a gym?
Would this machine be appropriate for an individual with a fused knee? As in, one leg will not bend. ?
Krystie, that's ultimately up to you and your doctor. We can tell you that people use this machine in seated positions, or with one leg resting behind or in front. The SkiErg does provide a lot of variety in how it can be used. If you can try one, that would probably be best - www.concept2.com/skierg/finder
Does this burn more calories than rowing or treadmill?
It's similar to the rowing machine but still not as much as treadmill
What damper setting should you use?
New Years 23-24. Why did you guys stop making them with wrist straps & XC grips? Like real XC skiing? Also don't most people use one of those big "Half Balls" to balence on? I found that added alot to the ski erg.
We certainly see some people use the half balls to balance on, but the majority of users do not. As far as grips, We decided to move away from the strap, though we do see people retrofit their own straps.
We got one of these at my local gym, but I think I'm too short to use it, haha :(
How long should you spend on this for a decent cardio workout
Depends on intensity and your goals. I do 30 seconds on and 30 seconds off, and I burn 600 calories in 40 minutes with slightly above moderate intensity.
None at all tbh. Go for the rowing machine instead and thank after a couple of months.
I’ve never skate skied, just alpine, but didn’t realize how much the arms were used.
Need some help understanding this. No leg movement at all but is somehow “total body” exercise? Just lifting your body a bit from a crouch is not leg workout. Also, without leg movements simulating skiing, there’s also the missing element of balancing and the core benefits of that.
The rower is great. This, thing, nope.
Jim, hello thanks for your questions. It may look like it's only upper body, but the legs will definitely be feeling it when used properly. You are correct in that it does not have a leg specific skiing motion. Glad to hear you enjoy the RowErg.
@Rick Hancock I will check. Thanks.
Try it ... and you'll eat your words :)
Yes, it works your legs ... believe it or not.
I was skeptical too
@@concept2usa he just needs to stand on a BOSU ball
It’s easy to say it won’t work your legs, given that 95% of the people using the Skierg at my gym never move them. But, raising one’s heels high and using the quads/core in unison in a downward thrust? The legs will feel pain indeed. I would say as much or more than the rowerg, which I’ve regularly used since 1998.
I do skiierg 20 mins 4450m that any good? Just started doing it since I tore my mcl wanna know what good numbers are
Check out the online rankings, log.concept2.com/rankings?gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiAgqGrBhDtARIsAM5s0_n6j-M20VEixNRWUmXaHawSzDcL6M92TMlhbNWqEvSSSYkofSrLX3YaAtiWEALw_wcB you can compare your time/distance to people in your age group of ranking distances.
@@concept2usa my projected 30min is 722something according to the rankings I'm around 100 ranking. I'm a professional athlete not just a guy off the couch but good to know I'm gonna have a rest tomorrow and day after go for 30 mins and see what I get. This is actually pretty fun while I'm injured
@@GBDazzler best of luck! Always nice to have comparables.
@@concept2usa I did it got 6800 felt I can go harder was holding out till late but it's a good marker to go off
Cant i just get some resistance bamds?
questions are not arguments.
@@tallswede80 and your sentiment wasnt an answerx so.....
Just checking to see whether i was using this machine correctly yes i was bit reluctant to use a new machine if i don't know what i'm doing seen a woman then a man doing this watched them and copied what threw me off is i saw another guy using it with a completely different technique best way i can describe it like a skipping rope he was using circular motions but i do like this machine its just really difficult as i am a beginner hopefully will get better the more i use
Hello, we beleive we know what you're describing by the skipping rope technique, this isn't really a method we teach as we found based off of Nordic skiing for this to be the most effective technique. It can be tricky to learn anything the first time you use anything, but start by using properly as shown in videos above.
"Nordic skiing"? As opposed to near easter skiing?
for a classic skiing technic..except people use their legs to ski. Not Just their arms
Classic refers to classic cross country technique of alternating arms, not the skating cross country technique he was showing in the beginning (both arms). Nothing to do with legs
Absolutely what
I use this skier every time I go to the gym but I must say: No one skies like how you are demonstrating this machine. Maybe I am wrong but seriously, nobody cross country skies like that.
The technique demonstrated here is based on double-poling Nordic technique (you'll see it in races, skate skiing, biathlon, etc.), which is different than the alternating-arm technique used for e.g. Nordic touring. That said, one of the great things about the SkiErg is that people find the technique that works best for them and helps them meet their goals. Happy skiing!
The CrossFit guys always do this wrong LOL
Wow skiing without the fun
Depends on your definition of "fun." :)
It's like half of an original NordicTrack. A little more sophisticated, but still about half.
It's a solid machine for changing it up in your gym, but I agree, if you were wanting to train for XC skiing in your home, you're going to miss MORE than half without your legs. Maybe space was in issue. Supposedly, I head gyms we're standing their Concept2 rowers on their end and pulling down like the ski erg does and that's why decided to make them. No idea how true that is tho.
The Skierg is 40% lower body, 60% upper when the technique shown here is used. I actually feel it more in my legs than upper body post workout, but then I am the only one at my gym that raises their heels and engages in a downward thrust simultaneously engaging core muscles and quadriceps.
Can I pay extra to have a bear chase me?
Just imagine you're milking a giant cow.
no
Should be called how to use for dummies
Seems great for people in wheelchairs.
It's fantastic for able bodied and adaptive individuals alike.
A nonsense machine built with surplus Concept2 rower parts. Nothing special you can't do with a cable crossover machine. An air refreshing vantilator to cooldown would make more sense.
Terrible technique
what is a good 500m time?
