If you can do that, then you'll really got your body centered and are using your legs in the motion you want to on snow.
I've had my big-mountain RPM for just over a year now and love the machine, I can't say enough good things about it, and while dry land training excercise will 100% completely work every ski realted muscle, the skiers edge comes real close, and it does give you one real solid cardio work out also! |
Thanks for the tips. I don't have the balance bar, just the poles. Exercise #2 makes a lot of sense and should be a challenge.
