Concept2 SkiErg with PM5 monitor

Strength and endurance
The Concept2 SkiErg ergometer helps you build strength and endurance by working the whole body with efficient, rhythmic movement. Skiing allows you to burn calories in a gentle way and is suitable for all ages and fitness levels. The user can regulate the resistance themselves: Pulling harder accelerates the flywheel and increases the resistance.

Measurable results
The SkiErg gives you immediate feedback with every pull. In addition, all performance data is recorded until the end of the training session. The electronic performance monitor is self-adjusting. This means you can be sure that your results are always accurate and that every move is comparable, at every time interval and in every training session. Compare yourself with other skiers using SkiErg worldwide.

For cross-country skiers: A safe and efficient training device
The Concept2 SkiErg enables combined strength and endurance training through the use of the skating technique. Thanks to the different resistance levels (1-10), practical training can be simulated in wind and weather, all without impacting on the joints thanks to the air resistance.

Comfort and safety
Comfortable training on a SkiErg is particularly ideal when skiing outside is not possible. SkiErg is always available regardless of the weather. It is also safer than training with lots of skiers on the track and you can train skiing with a ski pole indoors. The SkiErg can be attached to a wall

Perfect training for patients/therapies
Alternative training without legs possible, kneeling or sitting possible. Strengthens the upper body, torso etc. A real alternative for athletes with disabilities.

• Builds strength in the upper body, abdominal and back muscles and legs relevant for skiing
• Provides high-quality aerobic training
• Promotes correct and effective skiing technique for cross-country skiing

An ergometer (or "erg") is a device that measures work output. This is what makes the Concept2 SkiErg different: you can accurately measure your performance, monitor your progress and compare your performance with others who are also using the Concept2 performance monitor. This monitor has proven its worth on the rowing machine for many years.

As well as providing an excellent upper body workout, the SkiErg also trains the abdominal and back muscles and legs with every stroke. Take a look at the video demonstration and you will notice that the legs lift the body weight with each pull, giving you a thorough full-body workout without the risk of overloading. Training on the SkiErg puts at least as much strain on the legs as on the upper body. The maximum heart rates are achieved through aerobically demanding training.

The Concept2 SkiErg is based on the same mechanics and electronics as the Concept2 Indoor Rower, the most popular choice of rowers worldwide since 1982.

Features of the PM5 monitor (with Bluetooth Smart and ANT+ transmission technology) - full of great features and easy to use: Although the PM5 is packed with great features, it is very easy to use. As soon as the windmill starts turning, the monitor switches on immediately. So you don't need to press a single button and it's up and running.

If you want to get started right away, you will notice how easy it is to navigate through the various menus. Whether you want to view saved training sessions or save your favourite workouts, it's quick and easy with the Performance Monitor. For more information, read the user manual or access the in-built help function (from the main menu, select Information).

Data and displays: The PM5 displays your performance for each training session in metres, 500m average, watts or calories. While you row, you can choose between five display modes, metres/time, power curve, pace boat, bar chart or large:small. The backlit display ensures improved legibility. It switches on when the monitor starts up and lights up for the duration of your training session.

Wireless heart rate measurement: The PM5 supports ANT+ and Bluetooth Smart for wireless heart rate measurement. To use this option, you need a chest strap that supports one of these transmission technologies. Please note that the PM5 supports Bluetooth Smart but not Bluetooth.

USB stick compatible: The PM5 offers you two options for storing your training data: in the monitor's internal memory or on a USB stick (supplied). The USB stick stores your training data and preferences in a portable format. With our free Concept2 Utility software, you can upload your training data to your online logbook at concept2.com or transfer data from your USB stick to your Mac or PC. Only compatible with FAT or FAT32 USB formats.

Power generation: The PM5 uses two D-cell batteries. Spinning the windmill provides power to the monitor while rowing to extend battery life.

Games: For those days when you want to provide extra motivation and variety, there are the PM5 games. You can use these to teach both children and adults how to ride the indoor rower in a fun way. The PM5 includes the fish game, dart game, target game and biathlon.

Racing: Thanks to its accuracy, the PM5 is perfect for racing and tournaments. With the PM5 you can race against your team mates or training opponents, whether you are in the same room or on different continents. The PM5 supports wired racing.
