Skiing in the Alps

Although our new ski erg won’t really get you ready to hit the slopes, it’s a great new modality of exercise that you can incorporate into your workouts at the Sweat Shop. First off, Chris Grames just posted a nice little piece on ski erg technique on the Sweat Shop Members page so check it out if you haven’t gotten a chance yet! If you’re like Brandon Banks and don’t have a Facebook, you can check out the piece here!!! Also, if you are not a member yet feel free to ask one of your coaches to add you. It’s a great way to stay up on announcements, events, and holiday class schedules!

And now back to our new ski erg…
