The Zen of Nordic Skiing
I checked this out from the library, and loved it; now I'm buying it! Nothing has improved my classic skiing technique as much as watching this video. It may not suit the needs of a beginner with a strong aural learning style (who needs to be told what to do), but for intermediate skiers, or anyone with a visual or kinesthetic learning style, I think this is the most helpful tool I've ever seen. The neuro-muscular programming approach helps you to develop a "body memory" of the right motion, even before you've actually done it. After watching this tape, I find I can go out on the track and feel when I'm "in the groove" that Jeff nowak demonstrates. Besides being very effective, it's absolutely beautiful photography, and very meditative and relaxing. I didn't want to take the tape back to the library!
