Just picked up a Skierg

Post by mg6682 » April 8th, 2015, 8:16 pm

Awesome machine - a very, very good partner to the row erg! Ran about 3200m in intervals today. Pulling a sub 7 2K would be a hard ski! Anyway, glad to join the Skierg crowd.

Congrats on your times! Just got a skierg a couple of weeks ago. My times pale in comparison but am quite happy with the machine and workout that it provides. Seems like a great compliment to rowing & other activities.

You proberly need a different fitness. Skiers often do well on the erg, more on the longer work. Pound for pound skiers are among the fittest people on earth. Good buy :D

I have both - I'd say the skierg is about 15-20 seconds slower (than the Model D rower) per 500M.
