If you’ve tried the SkiErg or use it on a regular basis, you know that technique is critical. Unfortunately, there is not a lot of technique information out there for this newer piece of equipment that is showing up at more and more CrossFit gyms.

The good news is that Jane Erbacher recently put out a seven video series on Instagram to help you improve your efficiency on the SkiErg. Learn the basics of how to drive, recover, whether you should “butterfly” on the recovery and if power or speed is more beneficial.

Erbacher is a Performance and Mindset Coach based out of Melbourne, Australia. She has been involved in the health and fitness industry for over 13 years and is a fully-certified instructor of Gym Jones, runs a rowing workshop called Project Row and is empowering people through The Me Project.
