In a conversation with socialbites.ca, Sportmaster PRO expert Sergei Sklizkov talked about how long it takes amateur athletes to learn to ski.

“The speed of mastering cross-country skiing is affected by many factors: physical fitness and general condition of the body, the number of weekly training sessions, the presence of relevant skills such as roller skating or roller skating.

But regardless of the initial training, you will be able to master the basic technique in 4-6 training sessions. With regular training, an average season is enough to master the correct and beautiful technique, and in a few months you will start skating safely,” said the expert.

Also Sklizkov highlightedHe says that beginner skiers should first master the classic stroke because it forms the “foundations of balance and coordination.”

Also, experienced skiers actively use skates, but for beginners it will be very difficult.

“To skate, the body must already be ready for loads, and in this sense, the classics are more suitable for beginners. Skating is not an anatomical thing; It increases the load on joints and muscles,” Sklizkov stated.

In the classic stroke, the skis move parallel to each other. At the moment when the movement of the skis stops, a new thrust occurs. When skating, the skis slide not parallel to each other, but alternately.
