STRONG HIPS STRONG SKATING

Its the oldest tip in the skating book: work on your hip strength and strong skating will follow.

Those words are as reliable as the sunrise and sunset. I’ve been doing loads of hip mobility training off ice for weeks now and the payouts are almost immediate. Its a unique pairing of working on training my left side as much as my right side during these skating sessions.

The prosthesis on my right leg demands a lot of focus and attention on ice but I have to remind myself to develop my left foot techniques also.
