  • Maia Shibutani is a 2018 Olympic bronze medalist in figure skating. The American Olympian's workouts are designed specifically for figure staking. We tried two workouts:
    The first, the Gyrotonic training method, takes from multiple types of workouts, and helps develop skaters' center of gravity.
    Second, we worked out on a slide board to work thigh muscles for maintaining stability.

    just to clarify, maia and alex are ice dancers; ice dancing is different from pair figure skating

      Helen Luu figure skating more with jump, spin, dramatic lift while ice dancing is like ballroom dance on ice with all musicality and music interpretation so there's no jump nor lift the partner above head etc.

    I get sick and tired of when people hear figure skating they automatically think of the Olympics. These workouts don't just have to be for Olympic skaters, and before you say I know nothing, I am a figure skater and I have been for 10 years now.

  • @Julia-if4du
    @Julia-if4du Před 6 lety +146

    She is an ice dancer so she does not jump or do high level spins if any at all so she probably has an even amount of legs and arms I am a figure skater so I work on the muscles for jump and the flexibility and balence for spins but in general my leg get more of a work out than my arms.

    • @amandaurban6698
      @amandaurban6698 Před 4 lety +6

      Julia Just because she is an ice dancer doesn’t mean she doesn’t spin. She may not jump but spins are actually a required element in programs for ice dancers, as I am an ice dancer myself. Just wanted to clarify :)

    • @lambydelrey
      @lambydelrey Před 2 lety

      well technically i'm an ice dancer and you do need training similar to jumping since some movement based lifts such as stationary lifts sometimes needs a takeoff as well. now, the isu has changed the ice dance elements and they have included the need for "choreographic jumps" embedded in the lifts so we do jump- just not like freestyle skaters.

  • @deshidesign6958

  • @Liz-uv3fz
    @Liz-uv3fz Před 6 lety +12

    Here's something for the people who think they know about figure skating there are four categories within figure skating men, women, pair, and ice dance. They are figure skaters stop differentiating ice dancing from figure skating.

  • @yeriberri3757
    @yeriberri3757 Před 4 lety +1

    I’m sharing this comment because I don’t think people are being clear enough about the whole ice dancing thing. Ice dance routines DO INCLUDE spins and lifts. Also I’ve seen some comments implying that a lot of these workouts aren’t good for regular figure skaters and that ice dancing isn’t as hard because it doesn’t include jumps but these are also completely untrue. The balance workouts are great for skaters of all types and ice dancing is just as hard as any other form of skating, it requires so much trust and coordination. And spins and lifts take a lot effort to get wright. Idk I just feel like people aren’t giving Alex and Maya enough credit just because they’re ice dancers. Maybe I’m just over analyzing but it’s just my opinion 🤷‍♀️

  • @aninditab57
    @aninditab57 Před 5 lety +1

    The one mistake every single outlet out there seems to make - Maia and Alex are ice dancers, not pairs skaters, which is completely different from ice dance, imho. But. Lovely video and that's a wonderful insight into what their workout regime is like outside of skating, of which I'd little idea before this.

    Actually, i have a story...
    A story all about how My life got flipped turned upside down And I'd like to take a minute just sit right there I'll tell you how I became the prince of a town called Bel air In west Philadelphia born and raised On the playground where I spent most of my days Chilling out, maxing, relaxing all cool And all shooting some b-ball outside of the school When a couple of guys who were up to no good Started making trouble in my neighborhood I got in one little fight and my mom got scared And said you're moving with your auntie and uncle in Bel Ai I begged and pleaded with her the other day But she packed my suitcase and sent me on my way She gave me a kissin' and she gave me my ticket I put my Walkman on and said I might as well kick it First class, yo this is bad, Drinking orange juice out of a champagne glass Is this what the people of Bel Air livin' like Hm this might be alright! I whistled for a cab and when it came near the License plate said 'Fresh' and had dice in the mirror If anything I could say that this cab was rare But I thought now forget it, yo home to Bel Air I pulled up to a house about seven or eight And I yelled to the cabbie, yo Holmes smell ya later Looked at my kingdom I was finally there To sit on my throne as the prince of Bel Air
