In a home gym space is often a big factor when deciding which equipment to buy, and that’s what makes skiing machines so great.

With a small footprint and ability to provide a full-body workout, a ski trainer makes a fantastic addition to any home gym.

Benefits of Having a Gym Ski Machine

Full Body Exercise

The skiing motion heavily utilises the muscles of your core, arms, back, and legs to pull the cables down against the resistance the machine provides.

The 10 different resistance levels allow you to perform a variety of different workout styles, from light exercise to warm up the joints and tendons, to intense workouts that push your muscles to failure.

This feature also allows you to progressively overload over time, by increasing the resistance level you mimic the effect of slowly adding weight to a barbell, ensuring you continue to stimulate growth and strength adaptation as your body grows stronger.

This makes the Ski Trainer an incredibly efficient piece of equipment, able to effectively provide a full body workout in a single exercise.

Cardio Training

A ski exercise machine is also beneficial for your cardiovascular health, while your muscles are working to perform the movement your heart starts pumping hard to provide them all with the blood they need, providing a conditioning workout. If you want to make this even more challenging, you can wear a Weighted Training Vest to add extra resistance.

Highly Efficient Use of Space

Many gym machines are large, bulky, and only work one or two muscle groups, the ski machine is tall and slim, meaning it takes up very little floor space.

The ski machine can be mounted to a wall, or even used free-standing with the optional floor stand.

Using the floor stand means you don’t need to drill holes into your walls, which is perfect if you’re renting, if you’re placing the ski machine in the middle of a room, or would just rather avoid fixing anything to the wall.

It only needs enough room for the floor plate that you stand on, and the full-body nature of the exercise makes it unrivalled in terms of the size-to-benefits ratio.

A Ski Machine can deliver a full body workout and improve your cardiovascular health, all while fitting into a snug space, making it a great addition to your home gym.

So when you’re thinking of adding a new piece of equipment to your setup, be sure to consider a ski machine. You might just be surprised at how versatile it is. Want to improve your strength as well? Check out our Bench Press Set.
