Cross-Country Skiing
The most complete endurance sport — arms, legs and core working at once, with zero impact.
Exécution
- Shift your weight fully onto the gliding ski; two loaded skis at once means standing still.
- Classic style keeps the skis in the track, pushing down and back; skating pushes diagonally outward.
- Start the pole push from the core and lats, not the triceps alone.
- Push short and hard, then relax completely during the glide — the rhythm is the technique.
Conseils
- Classic is easier to learn, skating harder and more intense; one hour of instruction beats ten hours of practice.
- Dressing as warmly as feels right is the classic beginner mistake — ten minutes in, the maths no longer works.
