The SkiErg Sprint simulates the dynamic motion of cross-country skiing, providing a powerful combination of cardio endurance and upper-body conditioning. It trains the lats, shoulders, triceps, and core through coordinated downward pulls.

To perform, grasp the handles overhead and drive them down explosively using the lats and core. Return the arms up under control, maintaining a steady rhythm between pulls.

The SkiErg builds total-body coordination while placing heavy emphasis on aerobic and anaerobic capacity. Short sprint intervals develop power and recovery ability, while longer distances enhance endurance and pacing.

For RB100 athletes, a 100-calorie SkiErg test is a brutal benchmark that challenges both strength and grit. Common mistakes include pulling only with the arms or leaning too far forward. Cue “use hips” and “brace core” for proper engagement.
