Description: Hip Strength

Love love love, my hips feel buttery soft after and I feel stronger every time I repeat this one! If you have tight hips like me, I recommend doing half frog rotations instead of a full frog one!

These are all exercises for HIP STRENGTH. Building the strength to hold up your legs (very important for skating). 

First two drills are for warm up & mobility. 

Enjoy!

**this is a small movement**

Start standing super tall
Isolate one hip at a time and lift upwards until foot is hovering 
Slowly lower down controlled

Standing hip lifts

Stand tall and lift knee forward
Moving only the leg - extend knee to the side and open hip 
Close the hip and move the knee so it faces the floor and your leg is behind you 
Come back to starting position 

**note** the rest of your body should be pretty still! This is a hip focused drill

Standing hip CARs

- start in the 90/90 position
- both hands behind back 
-lift the back knee up as you externally rotate
- gently tap it back down to the floor

**Movement is coming from hip only** 

Keep core locked in

90/90 hip internal rotation

Lying hip external rotations

- start in a kneeling position 
- bring one foot forward in a lunge position 
- rock forward and come back to starting position 
- lift leg upwards and rotate externally to gently place the foot outwards
- rock sideways, return to neutral position and lift foot again to return to start position 
- we are using ONLY our hip flexor strength so take your time!!!

Kneeling hip lifts

Seated hip lifts

- start in frog stretch with both knees at 90 degrees if possible 
- stabilize by driving knees into the ground and lift one ankle and heel upwards so that it rotates as much as possible
- keep hips SQUARE and with as minimal movement as possible

Single frog rotations

Start standing on one leg 
Extend leg outwards and in front of you 
Keeping same height, rotate leg so it is out to the side 
Keeping same height, rotate leg so it is behind you

Bend to bring it to starting position. Repeat.

thank you for this routine. After 2 days of cleaning at my sick father-in-law's house + training on the ice, one week before my biggest competition of the season, I had a lot of tension. I was in pain everywhere, I already feel free of some tension. Thanks a lot !!

It was easy until I got the Pliés then it was more challenging than I expected, but in a good way!

Abby

I’ve never used some of those muscles before, so it was difficult but I love it. Feels like I’ve discovered new world for me 🫶🏻 thank you

Liene

Ankle Strength

Quick warmup

It was a good sesh but I hope there was an alternative move, like for the glute bridges but that’s just a personal opinion. Overall amazing workout ☺️

Abbygale

Glute & Hip Activation - warm up

I had to incorporate some forward folds (stand and touch my toes basically) to stretch my knees and help loosen up the rest of my body in between some of these steps, but this was such a good warm up activity! I’m keeping this in my rotation for sure!

Ashley

I absolutely needed an ankle mobility workout in my life! I recommend massaging/rolling your calf muscles before doing this one, it will help you get more range of motion!

Ankle Mobility Drills

Wow, this is a good one! 🫀 Especially good for an off-ice session, love love love!
