The All-Season Ski Trainer

This trainer simulates the rhythmic lateral movements of high-performance skiers to provide an exceptional lower body and cardiovascular workout without the need for snow or slopes. The parabolic base rocks back and forth, creating a gentle swaying motion that encourages the balance and core stability critical to downhill skiing. Skiers in the off-season, or anyone seeking an alternative to cycling or running, can use the low-impact trainer to tone and trim legs, as well as develop cardiovascular endurance, balance, and reaction time, in the comfort and safety of the home. The top skate has independently flexing, rotating footpads to help improve edging on the ski slope. The trainer tension can be adjusted quickly for varying skill levels and body weights, and the unit generates no more noise than a pair of skis gliding over fresh powder. Besides slalom or downhill simulation, the trainer can be used for 20 additional exercises, and comes with complete instructions as well as a detailed video. Only 4 feet long, the trainer occupies less floor space than some other, bulkier models, and stows away easily in a closet, storeroom, or under a bed when not in use. The sturdy unit stands up to intense exercise for a lifetime of use. 8" H x 12" W x 48" L. (25 lbs.)
