These exercises are so functional! I loved the lunge with the back knee bend because I think it will help me on my catch camel position.

Box Plyometrics Workout

Yay! I thought I was going to die at first. I finished after my walk/run, and I am still alive. I did it. I am happy.

Lilian Matheson

Wow!!! That was tough, but also felt really good. I ended up doing half the number of sets that it asked for just to have a baseline starting spot. The chair leg lifts had my inner leg cramping!! Overall though, I loved this and can see how it’ll be incorporated on ice!

Sandra

Single leg work

Really good stretch to prepare for workouts

Pollyane

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 !!

Lower Body Activation

Awesome! Working on Bronze singles (Adult), so I’m committing to three times a week off ice to build explosive power and endurance. I add a few drills of my own specific to Axel and rotations. Great workout thank you!

The leg kicks were hard, but I do feel warmed up.

Evelyne

Skater Off Ice Warmup

Something my hips needed. One of my favorites for sure.

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!

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!

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

I love this workout. I just started working on jumps and this is the perfect workout for building power and fixing my form. Thank you for a great workout!!!

Morgan Luckey
