Ski Machine
Cardio machine targets lats, triceps, and calves
This cardio machine builds full-body endurance by synchronizing upper and lower body movements. It primarily targets the lats, triceps, and calves while engaging the core and legs.
HOW TO DO IT
- Stand on the foot platforms with feet hip-width apart.
- Grip the overhead handles with palms facing inward.
- Bend your knees slightly and hinge at the hips.
- Pull the handles down past your hips while pushing back.
- Drive your hips forward and extend arms overhead to return.
COMMON MISTAKES
- Locking the knees instead of maintaining a soft bend.
- Using only arm strength without engaging the hips.
- Rounding the upper back while pulling the handles down.
TIPS
- Initiate the pull with your lats, not just your arms.
- Keep your core tight to prevent excessive swaying.
- Drive through the mid-foot during the downward phase.
