An ergometer, or “erg” for short, is actually a device that has the ability to measure work (boy, won’t all bosses wish they could have this installed in every office at individual cubicles to see just how much “work” of a different nature is done compared to the amount of Facebooking and instant messaging). Each SkiErg will come with a Performance Monitor that offers skiers accurate, comparable feedback. All these information can be harnessed by skiers to assess output, monitor progress, and compare scores with others if they want to challenge themselves and always aim for a higher level of perfection. Perfect for testing fitness in a manner that won’t be impacted by terrain or snow conditions.

The SkiErg is able to offer a comprehensive exercise programs, where each pull will engage the legs, arms, shoulders and core in a downwards “crunch,” making sure your body is well oiled with sweat once you’re done with it. All pulls will finish by extending the arms down along the hips with knees partly bent. This low-impact, high calorie-burning exercise is suitable for all ages and abilities, so age is not a problem here. Interested parties will have to fork out $730 including shipping to bring the SkiErg home.
