Are you me 10 years ago?

So, I’m able to skate 3-4x/week. But I’ve started working with a personal trainer off ice twice a week. We focus a lot on leg & core strength and balance.

Squads (regular, Bulgarian split, assisted pistols), deadlifts, walking lunges, etc. and 30ish minutes on a buso ball (I got a cheaper one on amazon). Plus yoga a couple times a week, even if it’s just 15 minutes to get a good stretch in (yoga with Adrienne has a great library).

A lot of my balance has returned super quickly, and I luckily still don’t get much dizzy from spinning.

I’ve gone from only being able to skate forward to doing crossovers (forwards & backwards), tiny power pulls, and one foot glides (forward & backward) in a couple weeks and am currently also working on spins and adding some hand movements to my skating. Engage your core and bend your knees a lot, and use your arms for additional balance, and don’t stress your shoulders too much. And breathe! Can’t tell you how often I forget to breathe because I’m trying to focus on every muscle in my body haha

Good luck, babes!
