This was great for balance, strength and stretching! Thanks! First class I’ve taken with you.

Really challenges your range of motion whilst balancing… this is going to massively help on ice … and reaching into the depths of the pantry on one leg trying to find biscuits

Today you’ll work on a ton of spiral strength and balance followed by Spread Eagle stretching & mobility. 

You will need a band & bench IF you have one. 🫶🏼

If not, no worries… you can skip the equipment.

Lots of strength & balance on this one! 

Repeat for desired reps - my reps are a RECOMMENDATION. please do what feels best for you & take your time with each exercise!

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

Dynamic hamstring stretch

Start with band around ankles 
Hold onto wall or object for stability

No band? You can still do isolated kicks with no band! ENGAGE those glutes.

Wednesday - Spiral & Spread Eagle Work

So good! I’m excited to finally have some direction with off ice specific work. Otherwise I’ve just been feeling lost

It was interesting! I don’t have dumbbells yet so it wasn’t a full experience though… but  I really liked last abs-part!!!

Catherine

Monday - Unilateral Strength

I'm not sure if my hips liked this one, but it was worth it 😋

Jessica

Tuesday - Ankle & Hip Mobility

It is easy to do, but givea a lot of strength.  I will be feeling it tomorrow.

Lilian Matheson

Thursday - Hip & Ankle Strength

The spiral exercise was a little harder for me today. But that means if I keep on working on it, I will get stronger.

Brilliant! I feel so much better already! What a start to a NY!

Friday - Splits & Spiral Stretching

I've just realised that said 'unilateral' 

Was I supposed to do all those exercises just for one leg? 😳🤦‍♀️😅

Yey me for extra workout if so! Double the burn!

This was such a great workout! I thought the warmup was the workout so I was definitely feeling it by the end. I’ll continue to incorporate this into my routine.
