Concept2 SkiErg with PM5, Black

Product Information

Yes, with a proper workout, the Concept 2 Rower will burn enough calories to help you finally shift stubborn fat. Read this guide from Concept 2 to learn more about the weight loss benefits of their most popular machine. Is the SkiERG harder than the Concept 2 Rower? Replicating Nordic skiing, the SkiErg can be used for both double pole and classic alternating arm technique. Exercising your legs, arms and core, it delivers a whole body strength and cardio workout. Easy to use, the ergonomic, strapless handles provide a comfortable grip. Using durable materials, they will not absorb sweat so your grip remains secure no matter how intense your workout. The Concept 2 SkiErg comes with preset workouts, games, and the ability to race other ski erg owners. These options are great to use if you’re looking for new workout ideas or want to engage in some friendly competition.

Originally designed as a training tool for cross country skiers, the Concept2 SkiErg® has been embraced by the fitness community for its ability to work legs, core and arms in a smooth, continuous motion. Great for all athletes at all levels—you don’t have to be a skier to reap the benefits of the SkiErg’s total body exercise. With the same flywheel and Performance Monitor as our RowErgs and the BikeErg, the SkiErg offers a quality workout that will build your strength and endurance. But if you want to save money or use a machine that offers more dynamic lower body movement, I recommend the Aeroski Power Pro. You can also add custom workouts, which come in handy if you get workouts from a coach or want to pre-program a work you find online. Bluetooth CompatibilityNow that you have all the information you need and some workouts to get you started, you’re well on your way to incorporating the SkiErg fitness machine into your normal routine. There’s no better way to experience a full-body, heart-pumping workout for the arms, core and legs than with a session on the SkiErg! What are you waiting for? Sign up for a Village Gym membership and use of this fantastic machine and many others at our state-of-the-art gym facilities.

Rowing Machine, Air Assault, Ski Erg, and Running can all be used in place of each other as substitutions. Does Ski ERG Work Legs? One feature that customers always want to know more about is the assembly process. The Concept2 Model E rowing machine arrives in two large boxes. It comes partially assembled and typically only takes 15 to 20 minutes to put together. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing. In fact, it speaks volumes about the high quality of both products and the fact that, realistically, both could be considered to be the perfect cardio machine depending on your needs. The SkiErg provides the opportunity to work on leg, arm and core muscles, as well as toning up as you go! It’s an excellent addition to any workout routine. For those interested in skiing, this workout is unmatched for training for the slopes as the machine’s structure is similar to using ski poles and works the same muscles in the body, helping to build up strength where you need it most. Essentially an upright row machine, the SkiErg is an efficient way to boost fat loss and improve overall endurance, strength and power with an intense, low-impact workout.Another aspect I like about the Concept 2 SkiErg is that the machine is great for shorter interval/sprint training. Granted, the Concept 2 Rower can be used for this as well, but again it comes down to accessibility and the SkiErg is always upright and ready to go. With a higher damper setting, it will allow more air into the fan cage. The more air, the more work it takes to spin the flywheel against the air. With more air, it slows the flywheel down faster on the recovery, which will make a person have to pull harder for the next pull. The rower is easy to move around, whereas the SkiErg might need to be fixed to a wall for stability. Lower damper settings allow less air into the flywheel housing, making it easier to spin the flywheel. The only place the SkiErg has any plastic is housing the flywheel.
