How to Do the Perfect Ski Erg Sprint (Complete Guide)
Build explosive upper body power and core strength with this Nordic skiing-inspired cardio exercise that targets your entire kinetic chain.
Perfect Ski Erg Sprint Technique
The ski erg sprint mimics the double-pole motion of Nordic skiing, providing intense upper body and core conditioning. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures optimal pulling mechanics and power transfer.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position:Stand tall, feet shoulder-width apart, handles overhead
- Initiate Pull:Engage core and pull handles down using lats and arms
- Hip Hinge:Hinge slightly at hips during the pull for power transfer
- Full Extension:Pull handles to hip level with arms fully extended
- Return Phase:Control the return, letting handles rise back overhead
- Sprint Rhythm:Maintain fast, powerful strokes throughout sprint interval
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Using only arms without engaging core and lats
- Excessive hip hinge turning it into a deadlift motion
- Allowing handles to snap back uncontrolled
- Poor posture with rounded shoulders
- Starting too aggressively and losing form quickly
