Muscle Strengthening with Yann Guyader 06

Dynamic work on pushes

For a good execution of the drill

• Start with a basic skating stance
• Make sure that your arm position is the same as during skating
• Don’t open the foot too much to the outside
• Don’t push laterally but slightly to the back
• Your hips and shoulder shouldn’t twist, keep it all in the same axis
• Your moves should be tonic but not shortened or narrow, keep your whole amplitude

Tip

Find a line to do the drill on, so that you can check that you bring back your foot below you.

Repetitions

8 repetitions per leg, i.e. 16 in total. You may do several series.
