I am challenged for time and available rollerski terrain. After reading this I realized that there is a perfect hill for this near work. This road is surrounded by very poor rollerski terrain (concrete, traffic, cross-streets, ...) but is perfect for such a specific workout. Today I did this workout: 1:30 desk to desk including a shower. The exercises exposed some areas for improvement. I know that by doing these every week I will improve arm and core strength as well as double-pole sprint speed. Thanks! Jon Fewster Seattle, WA Thanks for the workout!

I think that what you guys with CXC do for the community is great. The core-only DP is also good for teaching you technique that uses your abs more than you arms, something that intermediate skiers can have problems with. That’s a good article, Kuzzy.
