Improving your arms position

Rotating an arm completely modifies the position of your shoulders, and consequently that of your whole body. You should be particularly careful about your arms position.

For a good execution of the drill

  • In a basic skating stance
  • Start bent with your hand in front of your face
  • Your arm gradually stretches out backwards
  • Once in the back, your arm is straight and in the axis

Variation

Series of leaps in a skating stance with synchronized arms. Take a look at the second part of the video.

    Bonjour à tous, je suis Alexandre Chartier, fondateur et webmaster de rollerenligne.com. Le site a vu le jour officiellement le 11 décembre 2003 mais l'idée germait déjà depuis 2001 avec infosroller.free.fr. Le modeste projet d'étude est devenu un site associatif qui mobilise une belle équipe de bénévoles. Passionné de roller en général, tant en patin traditionnel qu'en roller en ligne, j'étudie le patinage à roulettes sous toutes ses formes et tous ses aspects : histoire, économie, sociologie, évolution technologique... Aspirine et/ou café recommandés si vous abordez l'un de ces sujets !
