I have created a FREE habit tracker to help people make lasting changes. It will track a few basic but Important metrics that everyone should be nailing down everyday. It will also get you a score out of 100 so you'll know if you are doing enough of that habit (for example - I drink water everyday, but am I drinking enough?) The goal with it is to build the autonomy so eventually you won't need the app anymore. Have a look, test it out, let me know if it breaks. Comment below if you are having any problems. 👍 https://crossfitpmi.github.io/lcn_habit_tracker/

My finest work yet. Powered by Ai. A whole new library of programs. Find it in the "Classroom" in the "Free Programs" and watch the video. 😎

Good SkiErg technique isn’t about making the longest stroke possible — it’s about generating power using the correct muscles with a shorter, more efficient range of motion. Trying to reach higher or extend the stroke artificially actually reduces power and wastes energy. SkiErg Technique Explained In this video, I explain proper SkiErg technique and compare it to something most people are already familiar with — the rowing machine. The main mistake people make on both machines is trying to make their stroke as long as possible. Many athletes think a longer stroke will make them faster or produce more calories, but that’s actually incorrect technique. Why Longer Strokes Are a Problem Some people try to reach as high as possible on the SkiErg or rower to get a longer pull. But this creates two problems: - You lose the ability to generate power. - You start relying on smaller muscles instead of the stronger ones in your core and back. Just like on the rower, your body height will naturally determine your stroke length. If you're shorter, your stroke will simply be shorter than someone who’s taller, and that’s completely fine. The goal is power and efficiency, not maximum reach. Common SkiErg Mistakes Two common mistakes people make are: 1. Reaching too high People extend their arms way above their head to lengthen the stroke.This weakens leverage and reduces power. Your hands should start just above eye level, not fully overhead. 2. Coming up on your toes Some athletes rise up onto their toes to reach higher. This does nothing useful and only fatigues your feet and calves, which can hurt performance in the rest of the workout (especially movements like box jumps or double-unders). Your feet should stay flat on the floor, just like they would if you were actually skiing. The Correct SkiErg Technique The correct stroke starts with: - Hands just above eye level - Arms slightly bent - Feet flat on the ground From there you: 1. Push your hips back 2. Engage your core 3. Pull down using your lats and biceps 4. Finish with your arms still slightly bent
