PLAY BETTER - STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING TIP OF THE WEEK

The third installment of Train Like a Pro weekly tips is going to introduce three exercises that will work the skating muscles. It is very important to continue the exercises prescribed in weeks one and two. As mentioned, the core region must be strong before increases in skating power can be achieved. Perform two sets of 8 reps of each of the following:



     
Lateral Stride

     
Skating Stride

 
One-Legged Squat

Combining these three excellent exercises with the movements from week one and two should really start to increase your stride power. Interval training should also start with the following: 30 seconds run or bike at 90% with rest periods of 1:30, perform 6 reps. On the second day perform 1:00 minute at 80% and one minute at 60%. Good luck and feel free to email me with any questions.

Best regards
