Let strength expert and researcher Jesper Sjökvist show you his best exercises for Cross Country Skiing strength. Illustrated by elite skiers Elin Mohlin and Anton Karlsson.
Sad to see this channel is inactive. These videos helped me improve greatly in only my first few months on skis. Hopefully many others have benefited from this great resource. Many thanks to all athletes who contributed and the creators also.
Jesper my guy, man GREAT job! I thought that was you and then once I heard the voice then I knew it was you. You taught and showed me some great things in your stint of training and helping out with the football team while at Univ of Alabama. I was just talking of you the other day to one of my athlete clients I now train back at my facility I train at. UA just wasnt quite ready for you then but you sure knew your craft. Keep it up EXPERT!!!
Some of these exercises require full extended joints (the wheel one) this will NOT be good for joint health - or for strength. Strength comes from flexed joints, not straight ones. Wheel to 3/4 position (where the hands would be for double pole) woul dbe better.
although eternally impressed by cross-country ski - and many other - athletes, one only has so much time in life and must make choices, so I choose reading, cooking better, and moderate exercise, hahahaha.

Hertz, Hz, units are cycles per second, not cycles per minute. Not a big deal but just thought I would mention it. Thanks for this useful video.
Thank you. I think you offer the best nordic ski instruction videos on the web. Keep them coming.

All sports centers should be required to compose their own intro ditties....

Try the TRX training that uses straps attache from a platform & cage that you hold onto. These X-C Ski movements then feel safer.
Are theses exercises applicable to both skate and classic skiing?

How do you feel about weighted back squats? Also, is the barbell row a good replacement for the bench pull?
4:52 There is no compliance with the metronome beat. I wish that saw this girl more often. Rise and shine Sweden. Harder, faster, stronger.
Congrats to Charlotte Kalla.
Red White and Blue to dominate :-)

Seal rowing @ 6:30!

Korg KDM-2
Knee in front of the toe when squatting is outdated
Yaaaah
2:14 i'm sorry, wut? You call that a one legged squat? That my man, is a lunge
So how are you supposed to make progressive overload in these exercises?
