Cross-country training Ercolina Upper Body Power

The Ercolina Upper Body Power machine allows you to perfectly simulate the gesture of simultaneous pushing in cross-country skiing. This model is particularly suitable for warming up or for maintaining a base of strength during a recovery period. The Upper Body Power can be adjusted to different resistance levels depending on the sessions you want to do and the strength you want to develop. Cross-country skiers also use it a lot when conditions are poor, as it provides very effective strength endurance work. Strength endurance consists of working the same movement for varying lengths of time to prepare the muscles for an intense lactic effort. Adjustable in width, it allows you to perfectly reproduce the sensations of pushing without the shocks and vibrations inherent to wheel skiing for example. It is now the companion of many club and international athletes.

Perfect imitation of the double push on snow:

Ercolina Upper Body Power simulates exactly the double push in cross-country skiing. It is the ideal training tool for both classic and skating techniques. Thanks to the rigid connection between the flywheel and the drawstring, Ercolina offers absolute respect for technical movements, aiming to give the user the sensations of skiing on snow.

Full and accurate movement:

Thanks to the length of the cables and the rewind system, Ercolina Upper Power allows for both short and long pushes, allowing for complete workouts with variations in rhythm and intensity.

Improve coordination:

Ercolina offers the user immediate feedback necessary to correct movement asymmetry. Thanks to the two independent resistance units it allows, in addition to the simulation of the simultaneous push, even the execution of the movements for the alternative step of the classical technique.

Basic stability:

Training with Ercolina Upper Body Power is effective in preventing or treating back pain. Ercolina Upper Body Power allows you to train all the muscles of the trunk by properly stabilizing your torso and spine.

Width Adjustment:

You can easily adjust the width of the handles to the width of your shoulders, so you can perform push-ups with the right gesture.

Variable Resistance:

Ercolina Upper Body Power is a machine with a magnetic brake that allows the user to play with a wide variety of typical cross-country conditions. The different resistance levels allow you to work at high or low intensity, strength endurance or maximum strength. The minimum strength setting also allows the use of Ercolina without risk of overload, even younger, while the maximum setting is sufficient to overwhelm an Olympic level athlete.

Also suitable for climbing:

Are you a rock climber? Then the Upper Body Power is perfect for you too. Although designed to perform the repetitive movements of cross-country skiing, it can also be used to develop maximum strength or explosiveness for blockers, to do intervals for speed enthusiasts and to work on endurance for cliff climbers. There are plenty of ways to improve your climbing fitness.
