Let's not be superstitious and plunge into our 13th drill dedicated to muscle strengthening with Speed Skating World Champion Yann Guyader. And more drills should follow. There's no excuse not to make it more varied! This time, let's break down a drill on lateral leaps with forwards motionâŠ

Lateral leaps series
… Or how to work simultaneously on pushes and technique. It’s simple, it’s about reproducing the skating move in doing lateral leaps with a forwards motion.
A few useful tips
- This is a skating move
- Make sure that your hips don’t twist to the left or to the right
- Avoid translation moves
- Your foot should come back in the axis to avoid unwanted moves
Repetitions
