Ski Ergometer Instructions

Adjust the foot straps to fit your feet securely.
Grab the handles with an overhand grip and sit on the seat.
Push off with your feet to start the machine.
Begin by pulling the handles towards your body, keeping your arms straight.
As you pull the handles towards your body, lean back slightly and engage your core.
Once the handles reach your chest, reverse the motion and push them back out in front of you.
Continue this motion, pulling and pushing the handles while maintaining good posture and engaging your core.
Adjust the resistance level as needed to increase or decrease the intensity of the workout.
When finished, slow down the machine and come to a complete stop before getting off.
Stretch your arms, back, and legs to cool down and prevent injury.
