This exercise is important to start with before putting it on a curve. Before we can control the movement patterns for the Axel on a circle, your body needs to understand check positions on a straight line first. Feel these out and see if your body can transfer with control. Then take this same drill to the circle.

Hip Strength develops the muscles surrounding the hips to improve stability, control, and lower-body alignment. For figure skaters, strong hips are essential for maintaining proper skating positions, controlling single-leg movements, generating power, and creating greater stability through jumps, spins, landings, and skating skills.

TRAIN YOUR HIP STRENGTH

Put it into practice with FLEXAFIT hip-strength exercises and training videos designed specifically for figure skaters.

The tuck position is critical to get full credit on a flying sit spin. I get a lot of inquiries for help on the flying sit.

You can master the tuck with simple steps:
1. Start off ice with the same movement patterns
2. Build strength and power off the ice
3. On the ice, use our FLEXAFIT EDGE drills in the flying sit section to master it on the ice.

Confidence in your daily practice is part of improving your jumps in the long term.

The end picture is so far away that it sometimes feels like we will never learn that jump we are struggling with. What we need to do is incorporate small habits each day to build confidence.

Take the jump apart and work on daily drills to perfect each part of the jump.

Break up your week into specific drills you need to get stronger and watch how fast that jump starts to transform.

Are you struggling to get all the way down or get back up on a pistol squat.

Try these:

1. Use yoga blocks on both sides to help assist the push phase

2. Elevate your heel on a mat or soft towel to continue feeling pressure on the heel to press back

3. Strengthen the muscle groups using various different exercises for quads, hamstrings, glutes etc

And bonus tip, check your ankle and hip mobility and any tightness in the low back!

If you are stuck with higher technical scores and need to improve your component scores- make sure you are doing these three things to help this season:

1. Start focusing on your skating skills every single day you skate. Incorporate the edges from your programs into your daily warm up. Better skating skills will really boost the components scores. Increasing flow and ex*****on of the turns gets good points!

2. Start ballet training! Join a ballet class or take styling lessons with our coach Martha in studio or online. Nothing changes over night but with consistent practice, the lines will improve on the floor first. Then you can apply it to on ice. When everything is relying on landing the jumps and spins, your body needs to hit those lines in autopilot

3. Start a theatre on ice class or go to a quiet room, put on various styles of music and just move and feel the music! This is the biggest thing that helped me get creative. My coach would play music and we did 30 min on ice theatre. It was the most memorable times from my skating, laughing, playing etc!

Happy Sunday!!!

At 8½ years old, I joined East York Skating Club to learn how to skate. I had no idea where those first steps on the ice would eventually take me.

From learning to skate, to competing and representing Canada, I later returned to East York as a coach, founded Figure Skater Bootcamp, and eventually introduced the FLEXAFIT® program at the club where my own skating journey began.

On September 30, I’m returning once again— this time with FLEXAFIT® Total Skater Development™ Seminar— to work with the next generation of skaters.

A very special full-circle moment. ❤️

Are you struggling to exit smoothly on your jumps? One important part to off ice training is to progressively load the body from higher heights to match the demand of the jump load on the ice.

Often we see skaters pounding their bodies from box jump heights that are either not appropriate to their age, height or skill level. We need to train the athletes properly to incrementally load the body, otherwise injuries can happen.

Start with a small step and make sure a proper S & C coach is guiding your progressions.

Always ask for credentials when anyone is training your skater in fitness. No fitness background can injure skaters long term- from burn out to overuse injuries and much more.

Happy training everyone!!! If you need help, we are here to guide you with purpose and structure - always with the build a strong athlete first mindset.
