Roller Skiing Information
Roller skiing is an effective method of exercise for cross country skiers. As you know, you get good at what you practice, and roller skis are as close to regular skis as you can get. Roller skis are not only an effective way to train during the off-season, but they are fun as well, and if you put in time on roller skis during spring, summer and autumn, you will have a big head start once the snow falls. In addition double poling on roller skis is a great way improve your upper body strength.
