The Ski Erg mainly targets the lats/triceps, shoulder and core muscles. However, when done properly the muscles of the lower body are involved in the movement as well, which makes the Ski Erg a total body exercise.


The Sled Push mainly targets the muscles of the lower body, especially the anterior thigh muscles. In addition, the entire posterior chain and core muscles are involved. Upper body muscles are secondary, as the body creates tension.


The Sled Pull mainly targets the muscles of the glutes, biceps, and back as well as the entire trunk.


The Burpee primarily targets the large muscle groups of the chest, back and anterior thigh. In addition, the arm muscles, especially triceps and shoulder muscles, play an important role. When jumping forward, the thigh, calf and glute muscles are crucial.


Rowing involves the leg muscles, biceps, core and back muscles. During the drive (stroke) the back muscles work as you swing your torso open, and your glutes and hamstrings contract to open the hip. At the finish, the core stabilize the body, and the glutes and quads are contracting. The biceps and many of the back muscles are also working to help keep the upper body straight, which makes rowing a total body exercise.


Farmers Carry primarily targets the upper back muscles (trapezius), the entire core and of course the forearms/hands (grip strength). Lower body is secondary.


The lunge primarily targets the thigh and glute muscles. Because of the weight of the sandbag on the shoulders, the core muscles are also included.


Legs and glute muscles are the main muscle groups used in this exercise. However, throwing the med ball up against a target also demands upper body activation, specifically of the shoulder muscles.
