Cardio Moves: Cross Country Skier

Exercise: Cross Country Skier
Equipment: No equipment
Movement Type: Cardio
Body Focus: Upper Body

Start this move braced in the athletic position, keeping the feet hip-width apart, knees bent with your weight back in your flexed hips. Engage the abdominals (bracing) to maintain spinal stability throughout the exercise. Lift the arms up high above the head as if holding ski poles and drive them back down past the hips in a fast-dynamic movement. Lift the arms back up, and whilst maintaining the athletic braced position to challenge the core keep repeating the arm ski movements. If you want to progress this move add momentum through your legs to make a big exaggerated movement.
