Did you know that most of the spring on your jumps comes from the muscles in your lower leg, but how often do you do exercises to strengthen them on the ice? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ This exercise is the first step to learning toe steps, in the future I’ll be posting the natural progressions and more advanced toe step exercises for you to practice ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ WHAT ——— Exercise: Barrier toe steps Skill Type: Jump exercise Difficulty: Beginner + ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ WHY ——— Strength ankles and lower leg muscles Improve jump height Improve jump takeoffs ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ HOW ——— Do this exercise at the barrier, you should always have at least one hand on the barrier for safety. The fall we want to avoid it backwards So make sure you stand tall and keep you weight slightly forward at all times. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ Keep your legs straight throughout and stand on your toe picks. Make sure you always take small steps, keeping the heal lifted as much as possible. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ There are four different directions of step: • Forwards • Sideways left foot lead • Sideways right foot lead • Backwards Make sure you do at least 10m of toe steps with each direction (I usually ask my skaters to walk the full length of the rink). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ This exercise will make the muscles in you lower legs ache, it’s just your legs saying thank you for making them stronger ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ TOP TIP ———— Backwards has the highest chance of slipping off the toe pick, go slow and steady and you’ll have no problem at all ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ || @oniceperspectives ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coachhamish #teamcoachhamish #iceskatingcoach #iceskating #iceskatinglife #figureskatingcoach #figureskatinglove #dancingonice #patinageartistique #アイススケート#スケート #luistelu #фигурноекатание #lutzcorner #fantasyonice #edeafamily #jacksonultima #officetraining #inspftme #figureskatingft #skatingft #adultskatetoo

The session was suuuuuper crowded today so I didn’t get as much choreographing done as I’d hoped, but here’s a sneak peak of my program for the 2020 Season!!! • I have my work cut out for me but I cannot wait to train hard and debut this at the ISU Adult International competition this October!!! • : “Flying” by @dancullenmusic • : @annmarieyoo • • • #figureskating #figureskater #figureskaters #adultskating #adultsskatetoo #adultskater #choreography #adultfigureskater #adultfigureskating #dancechoreography #dancer #flipjump #flip #jump #icedancing #dancingonice #starsonice #usfigureskating #edeas #edeaskates #johnwilson #johnwilsonblades #musical #instrumental #newprogram #skating #nyc #skatergirl #fitnessgoals

If there is one exercise to rule them all, this most definitely is a contender. An absolute must do for anyone that wants to improve their jump control ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHAT ——— Exercise: Back outside three turn mohawk Skill Type: Basic skating Difficulty: Intermediate + ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHY ——— Connect hips and shoulders Improve ability to drive rotation ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀ HOW ——— When we jump we bend and rise, so we need to reinforce this movement more within our exercises. This exercise has been tweaked to specifically to help encourage this action. To begin with skate this exercise on a hockey circle. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Start with a right back outside three turn, with the weight through the right shoulder and hip. Extend the free-leg and arms so they are directly above the circle you’re skating on. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Here’s the important part, make sure bend and press the heal of the skating foot into the circle. Rise up to release the three turn. Make sure you stay up in knee after the turn and fully extend the free-leg in front. ⠀⠀⠀ It’s very important not to pull the turn with the left shoulder, this disconnects the hips and shoulder The turn is initiated by the press and release of the skating foot, then the right shoulder driving through. Now do a tidy right forward inside open mohawk, extending the free-legs to build more strength. You can now push on the right foot again to repeat the exercise. Do this exercise in both directions. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TOP TIP ———— You can check if you’re leading with the shoulders or not by doing the exercise with your arms folded. It’s very obvious when you’re doing the exercise correctly or not ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ || @oniceperspectives ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coachhamish #teamcoachhamish #iceskatingcoach #iceskating #iceskatinglife #figureskatingcoach #figureskatinglove #dancingonice #patinageartistique #アイススケート#スケート #luistelu #фигурноекатание #lutzcorner #fantasyonice #edeafamily #jacksonultima #officetraining #inspftme #figureskatingft #skatingft #adultsskatetoo #adultskating #adultfigureskater

Are you struggling for rotation on your jumps or want to improve your air position? This is my go to exercise to help. Please tag a friend you know needs help with rotation or their air position on their jumps #sharingiscaring ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHAT ——— Exercise: Rotations loop Skill Type: Jump exercise Difficulty: Intermediate + ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHY ——— Connect hips and shoulders Improve jump transfer Increase rotation efficiency Reinforce the correct axis Speed up checkout ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HOW ——— This exercise looks relatively simple on the surface, but it’s how it’s executed that is important. You MUST be sharp and efficient with your movements, staying tall and tight. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Enter backwards and press to the right with the arms and shoulders (left for clockwise jumpers). Stand tall then enter a right back outside twizzle. Initiate the rotation from the ankle and NOT by pulling the shoulders around. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Stay tall tight and right throughout crossing the free-leg (stay left for clockwise jumpers). After 2-4 complete rotations exit with a single loop jump. Do this jump by springing from the ankle and not by pulling the arms. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Don’t forget to stretch hold and press your landing position. A jump sold by the landing so don’t be lazy (yes I went there ). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TOP TIP ———— Speed across the ice is not necessary, so this exercise is best practiced at very low speeds. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ || @oniceperspectives ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coachhamish #teamcoachhamish #iceskatingcoach #iceskating #iceskatinglife #figureskatingcoach #figureskatinglove #dancingonice #patinageartistique #アイススケート#スケート #luistelu #фигурноекатание #lutzcorner #fantasyonice #edeafamily #jacksonultima #officetraining #inspftme #figureskatingft #skatingft #adultsskatetoo #adultskating #yurionice #adultfigureskater

Do you feel stuck on your double flip takeoff? Use this exercise to strengthen your draw and release your takeoff all whilst keeping tall and narrow for efficient rotation ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ WHAT ——— Name: Double Flip draw Skill Type: Jump exercise Difficulty: Advanced + ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ WHY ——— Increase takeoff draw strength Allow the hips and shoulders to remain connected Keeps the body tall and narrow ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ HOW ——— Watch the demonstration of the double flip and note the alignment of the hips and shoulders. They remain connected throughout the takeoff draw and pre-rotate. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ At the barrier walk through the flip entry and make sure you place your takeoff foot inline with the same hip as the foot (E.g. Right foot right hip). Also, keep the skating foot inline with the same hip as foot (E.g. Left foot left hip). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Now draw the foot away in a straight line as far as you can go without leaning forward, then draw it back inline with the takeoff foot. Repeat this twice. To finish, draw past the takeoff foot underneath the same hip as drawing foot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Make sure the edge of the drawing foot is on a flat backward inside edge. Finish the exercise by doing a baby single flip. You should use the inside hand for assistance on the barrier. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Once you feel comfortable doing the double draw walk through, do a regular single flip at the barrier. Stay as close to the wall as possible without hitting it This helps keep the jump tall and narrow. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ TOP TIP ———— Think of drawing and driving from your feet and not pulling the shoulder to initiate the movement. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ || @oniceperspectives ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #coachhamish #teamcoachhamish #iceskatingcoach #iceskating #iceskatinglife #figureskatingcoach #figureskatinglove #dancingonice #patinageartistique #アイススケート#スケート #luistelu #фигурноекатание #lutzcorner #fantasyonice #edeafamily #jacksonultima #officetraining #inspftme #figureskatingft #skatingft #adultsskatetoo #figureskatingjumps

TIP OF THE DAY: Are you guilty of neglecting your less dominate side of your crossovers? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ If the answer is, “YES! Guilty as charged…”, then you better get on top of these basics ASAP. Here’s how: ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 1. Begin with nice big Pumps with your arms up on top of the circle. Make sure to bend your knees and utilize your inside edge as a tool to help you gain more speed. Pull your feet and your inner thighs together to gain maximum power. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 2. Next, go right into Chasses, which is a push + glide + push sequence. As you can see, @leslietsaii starts by gliding on two feet then she strokes onto the outside edge of the right foot and extends her left freeleg. Then she brings her left foot to meet the skating foot and she transfers her weight to lift her right knee up and repeats the stroke. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 3. Lastly, transition directly into the crossovers by applying all the characteristics of the knee bend, power, and weight transfers of the Pumps and Chasses. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Never forget your basics! They will be fundamental to your progress of all your difficult elements moving forward. #coachmichelletips ⛸
