Discussion of difference in the movement (how it works your body) differently begins at 5:34 - before that is weight, dimensions, price.

Thank you 🙏🏿❤️

I appreciate this video. I have spinal stenosis, and had been looking for a machine to help strengthen my core. The rower caused me more pain in my spine, but the Skierg caused no pain at all. This video helped understand the two better thank you. To be clear, I am not against the rower, its movement caused me more pain, but the skierg didn't. I added a ten minute workout on a stair master along with the skierg. With the both of them together, I can finally pick up a 45 pound case of water again. Thank you for the information.

@Flopgunder 3 года назад

I love my skierg. But I also love nordic skiing so for me it was an easy choice. However both machines are great. The fact that they are very popular way outside the confines of their respective sport are a testament to that.

@dughallaitken4873 3 года назад

Nice job. I like the fact that if you include them both in one workout, you’ve kind of worked everything.

With your future Rower vs Bike-Erg video, you may want to caution about getting all 3 to prevent inShane workouts like Bike + Ski at the same time.

@robertthompson5501 Год назад

At my Ymca I am fortunate enough to have both Row Erg and Skierg they compliment each other. I add the Jacob's Ladder for intervals on my cardio day. Nice video. Thankyou 🙏👹

@C4sp3r123 3 года назад

Unless it has changed with the newer models of the rower, you forgot to say that the rower can easily be split for storage which pretty much halves it height. It is an extra step but it is relatively quick and easy to do. Also I think it is a lot more stable/safe stored split. When buying the Skieg I thought the price of the stand was steep (I still think it is tbh) but it is a quality piece of equipment that is well made and I am glad I opted for the stand as it means I can move it if needed and I find it easier to clean if I pull it out into the room which wouldn't be possible had I fixed it to the wall. I wish there was a cover for the Skierg like there is for the rower. Shame no one seems to make them.

@DarkHorseRowing 3 года назад

Great idea! And you're right, the machine can absolutely be broken in to two pieces and significantly compact the storage.

@edwardwest1543 2 года назад

@robmic3261 3 года назад

It’s nice to watch tv/movie on a long row to ease the possible boredom; doing so on a skierg not so.

@youtroop 3 года назад

It's in fact not a problem, I watch youtube while using my skierg. A correct double polling position allows you also to keep a constant eye on the "track". But, it's a harder workout, so you might not get thru "The Irishman"

@youtroop 3 года назад

@Wille it's a suitable tool also for nonskiers I guess. But, when you use it try to emulate the skiing technics (search double polling in youtube). Suggest you find somewhere to try it out, and when you do try a low intensity session for at least 10 minuts. I you hate it after 10 minuts its maybe not the right tool. No question its very effective for upper body especially core training. One issue I find is that its hard for my back to use it harder than rollerskiing (and snow skiing for that matter).

Shane. You didn’t address which is easier to learn the proper motion? Rower or Skierg? And, which machine exposes the user to injury the most?

@Flopgunder 3 года назад

A Concept2 representative says the following in this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AVLE3Od5hOQ.html "I believe proper rowing technique is probably a little more important than proper technique here (skierg) just for the safety of your back and things like that"

In a pinch you could adapt a rower into a ski-esque erg by bracing it vertically against a wall/post. Kinda kill 1.75 birds with one stone 😄

@DarkHorseRowing 3 года назад

Definitely! It's been done but I don't condone it just at the pure risk factor of the machine not staying stabilized and either falling and breaking, or falling and hurting someone.

@robertbocking2720 2 года назад

I have the rower just on my 4 million meters but can’t motivate my self anymore, recently got the bike and I seem to get a better workout from the bike, looking at the ski and possibly get rid off the rower. If I had the space I would keep all three. Would I get bored with the ski erg ? Why I like the bike more in 2019 I broke my neck C2 but survived, so getting back on the bike I love it, but I have given up cycling on the road due to my injury. So my main fitness is bike, I think the ski will work my arms shoulders belly and possibly ski/bike erg will work well together any thoughts will be welcomed Robert

@johnhelms8226 9 месяцев назад

As a nordic skier, I would recommend the Skierg, because it is closer to nordic skiing (classic) than something that simulates rowing. However, if you are a rower, you might want to consider the rowing machine.
