Excellent, abviously flexibility is super helpful. Most men don't have that [except Hanyu]. Arms are important, and unless you've taken dance, unexplained by skate coaches. You mention them, but can you make something specific to arms and line? Love these!

🔥💪💪🏽🔥🌿🏅🏆👍🏽🌹👍

Needing this so bad 🙃 Let's do the last exercise with a big smile , eh? 😊 thank you.

Wow!

Awesome! I love exercises that mimic the on-ice motions! Thank you <3

Very helpful. Thank you for sharing. I just started focusing in the spring in my landing positions. This is a great exercise to do at the gym this summer as I wait to return to the ice in September

Thank you very much! I want to built up a off-ice routine, especially now that I don't have ice in the summer, and I will definitely add those exercises.

So helpful, thank you! I need to work on my landing position, so I'll be doing these regularly! Thanks!

Hilfteiches Video. Vielen Dank 🙏🏻! 👍 Die Auslaufposition ist insgesamt schön. Allerdings finde ich die Hand/ Fingerhaltung unschön. Ich bevorzuge Hände, die sich formschön und ästhetisch am Ballett orientieren.

I wear thin ski socks to keep my feet warm and dry. The ones with some ribs & textures (Kombi) to give some bites.

The best yr!

I watched all your videos, they are AMAZING and sooo helpful! I have my first competition next week and I'm really nervous, any tips?

Immediately asking for my email, way too aggressive, you lost much of my respect, I don't trust you! Be upfront, many will no logger play those games today anymore.

I figure skated most of my childhood into my twenties and completed all levels of training in ISIA. Flash forward, now I’m 50 and have picked it up again BUT I have lost so much technique and now trying to re-teach myself with much difficulty! Your videos are SO helpful on what I should be working on and HOW. I equate my “feelings” is being a bird that loves to fly, knows what it feels like to fly but my wings are clipped and I can’t wait to have that feeling and confidence on the ice once again. THANK YOU for these wonderful videos!!!❤

I always go to the toe pick and then fall forward after 2-3 rotations 😩

I'm offended for spins! 😂 How 'bout 20 minutes spins, 15 for jumps! 😜

I need to learn this right now. I am shooting up through levels really fast because I was a gymnast (beginner 1 to aspire in 3 months), but the whole arms concept is so new to me! I forget about them all the time and screw up my skills when I do! 😣

Thank you so much Stacey! Been trying these in my last session. How do you keep your direction of travel going down the ice instead skating a circle on the inside edge?

How to get proper height during the axel

Super elegant graceful arms. It's absolutely possible to make even basic skills look more advanced and interesting by emphasising upper body and arms. I think however many people arent naturally drawn to using their arms in this way, particularly if they're not from a dance background. If you can get over the "do i look a bit silly" doing this... You'll be the envy of the rigid army ;)

Thank you for another excellent and useful video ⛸️✨

Of course I’ll suggest this since I’m a former ballerina who went into figure skating and recently went back to ballet to help with skating, but ballet training should be more required/popularized as a very important training for figure skating. Not only musicality, artistry, posture, body lines, but port de bra absolutely makes a difference if the skater has ballet experience and training.

I'll try at home first ;). Thank you

If you're on a busy session you can't go both directions cause in public session skaters go just one direction. Counterclockwise.

This is great! Can you do a similar video about head movement?

Amazing! Arms always seem to be forgotten in the struggle to get elements.

Excelente 👌 Gracias por su video 👍 😊Saludos desde México ✨️🌎⛸️⛸️

I have been looking for jump drills everywhere! Thank you so much 👏

True! 🥰👍

Thanks for this video and your sit spin one it really helped me with my back canonball. Do you have any tips on how to keep my axis straight and how to keep my legs crossed in my air position?

Damn.. as a long time hockey player and coach, I don’t think I can actually skate 😅 figure skaters always on a different level 🫡

❤

Thank you! This helps so much! I just retired from gymnastics to be a full time figure skater, and I have the strength and flexibility to raise that leg over my head… but not hold it there while I skate! Different muscles I guess? I’ll be doing your exercises daily!

Awesome tips, man. Thanks. 💪⛸️

Excellent exercises! I guess I will have to try these tomorrow and hope I don't fall on my face -0- You make it look so easy!

Will ankle weights help with the strength part? I have trouble locking out my knee when my foot gets higher than my hip.

Saved this to my "spirals off ice exercises " playlist. Thank you , Stacey

Thank you so much for the tips! I’ve been placing my inner legs and my coach always say that I need to pull my legs back everytime! I’ll try this for the better posture from now on.

Oh … 😮❤

Very good exercise and tip on which leg to put on the bar. I will try this.

Thank you, I know this will help ⛸️

needed this!!

Thank you!

What can I use if I do not have a bar?

Someday 😂 Stacey, the #ArmsTogether Your right inside mohawk is bootiful...your inside edge is to die for . Your boot almost touches the ice ...goals

Oooh this is very helpful! Sometimes I just stand around on ice like "what now....."

I have wondered how time is prioritized for competitive skaters, so this was interesting, thanks! I prefer to spend more time on skating skills and spins, jumps aren't fun for me lately 😅 Maybe I should do free dance!

I cant skate or do any sports for a whole month and a half cuz yesterday, I was doing cross overs and fell on my toe pick I think and sprained my ankle 😑 and it was only cross overs and I was getting sm better at them 😭

Thank you! Going to try this next week. Pray for me.

I also found one arm in front much easier. But as I'm preparing for the Move In The Field test, I see most people do it with square arms. Does one arm in front also count as in the test?
