The following tips will help you coordinate your arm
and leg motions:
1. If combining the arm and leg motions is difficult,
keep practicing the leg motion. Incorporate the arm
motion only when you feel comfortable with the leg
motion.
2. When you incorporate the arm motion, try to swing
your arms naturally. Allow one arm to pull the other
arm forward. Keep the arm cord taught.
3. Keep your waist in contact with the hip pad at all
times to hold back your forward motion. If you
feel that you are sliding away from the hip pad,
increase the ski resistance.
4. Resistance is felt only when you push your feet
backward. Always keep your weight on the ski you
are pushing backward. Avoid leaning forward. Keep
your weight over your feet, your shoulders back,
and your head up. Find a focal point; this will help
you keep your head up and your back straight.
