Concept2 SkiErg with PM5, Black

Product Information

The rower is a more even split of upper and lower body. The lower body does most of the work, with a prominent leg drive initiating the movement, but the upper body also contributes significantly with a large pull when the leg drive has been completed. The pull relies on the lats and trapezius muscles. Repeat these 3 minute pieces, gradually increasing your intensity, until you can’t continue to increase it.

But, if it comes down to one or the other, here are some things I would think about.The choice of air bike will usually fall between the Airdyne or Assault Bike, whilst for a rower most will choose either the Concept 2 or a water rower. As such, it’s more likely going to take you between 35 – 45 minutes to put together and, unlike the rower, can’t be easily taken down and put into storage when not in use. This workout features short intervals for variety. This is the workout to see how fast a pace you can achieve.

The handles are already form-fitting and super comfortable, but having different handle options can add another element to the workout.For most Crossfitter's that are purchasing equipment at home they will usually choose one or more of the following just like they have in their local box:

Our SkiErg is easily adapted to those with lower body limitations or injuries and will deliver complete cardiovascular training, working your core and upper body from a seated position, whether from a stool, chair or wheelchair. Together, these provide an ultra-tough workout, though the integrated Performance Monitor 5 (PM5) computer does allow you to change up the settings to find a workout that, though it may still be hard going, is better suited to your level of fitness routine.

Next Steps

However, I would only recommend it to a few specific groups of people, such as CrossFitters and skiers. Because Concept 2 offers separate attachments for accessibility, the ski erg is good for wheelchair users. It’s also good for anyone who can only do low-impact workouts.

This is a flywheel rowing machine, which provides smooth motion and quieter operation when compared to a hydraulic rower. If you find yourself in a position to fill out your gym space with a piece of conditioning equipment, it’s likely the Concept 2 Model D Rower will come to mind, but Concept 2’s relatively new piece of equipment the SkiErg should not go overlooked.
