i've watched so many off ice jump exercise videos and i've NEVER seen one that explains the arms so well or has slow-mo portions so i can actually do all the moves! thank you so much both of you, i was so confused on how to move my arms for my toe loop but (other than the weight transfer part that i still need to figure out) this is going to help so much!!
Super helpful! Can't wait to start get better off ice training: thank youu!!! for reference: high knees : 2:22 shuffle/side jumps (height): 3:00 grapevine/karaoke : 4:21 explosions: 5:15 back exp: 6:05 backwards jump feet cross: 7:40 single rotation: 8:31 both arms rotation: 10:25
I loved this video and want more!! As an adult with a coach, I find I lack this kind of off ice training that would really help improve my skills. Thank you so much to you both for that 🥰 Ps: I’d love the rest of your counter video, as well as videos on choctaws and rockers ☺️
Love the off-ice videos! I want to definitely wanna improve my jumps off-ice before trying on ice. I'd also love to see a tutorial for layback spins, your spin tutorials are the best! :)
Thank you so much for this video. ❤ I had my first and only off-ice training session with my other coach a few weeks ago (due to the rink not being available for some reason) and tried to reproduce it the past few weeks from the sidelines while my kid was practicing her program. Since I didn’t have the bullet points, it wasn’t really getting me anywhere. But now I do and can’t wait for my next skating day!
I do have several off-ice videos about spins using a spinner, as well as a bosu ball video focusing on balance for spins. But I will certainly think about what else I can do to help with spin improvement - off ice.
Got back from the rink. Checked in at 2pm, checked out at 10pm 😊 (but the last 3 hrs were spent at the sidelines watching my kid’s session) Anyways, I mixed in this jump exercise around zamboni time, and I must say it really helped improve my jumps. My other coach was quite surprised with the progress. I’m at loops right now and started getting full rotations at a higher rate. But of course there is room for improvement; I’m not crossing my legs mid-air. But this video has a routine for that part. So I know exactly what to do next time I’m at the rink. 💪 Now, if only I can get over forward scratch spins…
I'd say it's really important to do all these exercises rotating both ways because you don't want to get lopsided and make sure you're always landing on the ball on your foot so you can get that nice soft landing on ice
Hi Julia! My coach does most of these off ice exercises with my group and they have really helped me with the rotation and height in jumps. Do you have any tips about tieing up skates? I am still trying to learn even though I have been skating for a while, there is always a gap between my leg and the skate and I pull it really hard, but sometimes it's still a bit loose. I love your videos! 😊
I love this. I started inline figure skating and i notice that my ankles are not strong enough to stand straight. So my feet lean towards the outside edges. How can i improve that? I think i need more ankle strength?
This is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing. But could I really be doing these jumps every day of the week (I am training on the ice 6 days per week)?
I know I gotta do these off-ice exercises. Sadly everytime I try, always end up with some degree of sprained ankles, so now I only jump on-ice😔 generally do full jumps rather than just the warm-up though...
So I have heard a cracking in my ankle that made it swell up like I sprained the medial ligament, but it went away in about a week. We were doing jump 360 and landing on one foot. I'm pretty fit but this isn't my first sport and I'm 36 and only been skating about 3.5 years. The coaches who typically are young have the kids in our group classes doing these exercises, and I find them terrifying. The ankle isn't meant to twist and land on one foot as an adult. When you're a kid and you aren't even 100 lbs and have all that cartilage, maybe it is different, but if skating coaches want to teach adults, this is a big deal and I'm sure I'm not the only one who has had an ankle injury shortly after starting off ice to work on building up to my axel. On ice, you have a nice stiff supportive boot, the ice slips or you fall, or it chips, which are all way less serious if you know how to fall compared to being off ice with no ankle support in tennis shoes or barefoot, neither of which support the ankle on a twisting landing on one foot. You see some ice coaches doing little hops, but that didn't help me. Perhaps they should encourage at least all off ice exercises landing on two feet and adults wear ankle braces or maybe do harness or foam pit (go to a trampoline park or a gymnastics gym) or diving board work. The harness didn't fit across my chest either, and I'm 5'10 180 pretty low body fat (
This is awesome. I've been doing off ice a lot lately and this is just what I needed. A question: with rotation I tend to get really off axis/balance. Just can't make the full rotation yet. If I do I tend to fall. I see now that this is probably my arms which throw me off. Is it smart to stick with 3/4th rotation and focus on technique first? Or just keep trying the full rotation directly.
are these worth doing if ive never figure skated but i plan to? id imagine id be pretty ok movement wise on the ice cause i can rollerblade and do a waltz, 3 turn, etc. and i wanna prepare for when i learn figure skating
how would i teach myself or train myself to do more spins in the air because i really wanna become a figure skater but the nearest rink is an hour away 🥹
It depends on how you are using it. If it is a warm up before skating, do one pass of each move. If you are doing it as an exercise session then repeat each move 3 ish times across the space you are practicing in.
This was awesome. Please bring him back for development of multi-rotation jumps off ice.
I am glad you liked this! I will let Paolo know that he is appreciated.
i've watched so many off ice jump exercise videos and i've NEVER seen one that explains the arms so well or has slow-mo portions so i can actually do all the moves! thank you so much both of you, i was so confused on how to move my arms for my toe loop but (other than the weight transfer part that i still need to figure out) this is going to help so much!!
Wow, thanks so much for the positive feedback!!! I am glad you going this helpful!
I really enjoy these off ice videos!! They are so helpful as a skater who started as an adult!
Wonderful to hear. I will try and incorporate more then.
What a great warm up! Thank you. I’m not jumping on ice yet but will certainly watch and do this video over and over. All the best 🤗
You got this! If you practice this now, it will certainly make your jumps better once you begin jumping on ice.
I'm turning 60 in a few months and want to learn to jump on rollerskates. This is an excellent help. Thank you.
The arm isolating jump exercise really helps with keeping the jump axis straight! Thank you Julia and Paolo!
Super helpful! Can't wait to start get better off ice training: thank youu!!!
for reference:
high knees : 2:22
shuffle/side jumps (height): 3:00
grapevine/karaoke : 4:21
explosions: 5:15
back exp: 6:05
backwards jump feet cross: 7:40
single rotation: 8:31
both arms rotation: 10:25
Happy to help!
Thank you for this! I am always amazed at the amount of air Paolo gets!!
Right?!? That man has springs for legs!
paolo is my coach at skate town, such a great instructorrrrr
I loved this video and want more!! As an adult with a coach, I find I lack this kind of off ice training that would really help improve my skills. Thank you so much to you both for that 🥰
Ps: I’d love the rest of your counter video, as well as videos on choctaws and rockers ☺️
I am glad you enjoyed this! I will try to get those other videos out as soon as I can!
This is great! Thank you two so much for this :)
I am glad you enjoyed it!
Loved the video. Please make more of these off ice exercises😄 thank you!!

You're so welcome!
I loved watching this so much, thank you Julia and Paolo! Please do more videos like this!
I am so glad you liked it!
Loved them! Finally some axel drills! Keep them coming. 😈😈😈
Glad to know you like this kind of videos! I will work on making more of them!
Love the off-ice videos! I want to definitely wanna improve my jumps off-ice before trying on ice. I'd also love to see a tutorial for layback spins, your spin tutorials are the best! :)
Noted! That is my favorite spin - EVER! So I definitely plan to do a tutorial.
Hi Coach Julia and Paolo, off ice is the way to go, and get an edge. Muscle memory takes time at the rink, Thanks Coach Julia
Thanks for the positive feedback Tom!
@@CoachJulia Thanks Coach, I try to keep it positive. I'm learning alot from you and your videos. Thanks again

Good luck with your practicing!
These jumps have helped me on the ice
I am so glad to hear that!
Супер. Спасибо большое за видео. Желаю всем спортивного долголетия и успехов на льду и не только !!! ❤
Great exercises, thank you so much for this. All the best 😊
Glad you like them!
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Oh this looks helpful, even if I'm not to jumps yet. Can you do one like this for spins?
I do have several off-ice videos about spins using a spinner, as well as a bosu ball video focusing on balance for spins. But I will certainly think about what else I can do to help with spin improvement - off ice.
Thank you, it looks like a really good helpful routine, that's been well put together. Will be practicing it
Awesome, You can do it!
You read my mind! I was just looking for off ice exercises to improve my jumps!
Oh perfect timing!!
Awesome. I'm going to add these to my off ice routine.
Perfect!
I like it omg 💕😆 I never be on ice, I want to try ice skating, but the ice rink is nowhere to find, 'm mean in my hometown. So sad 🥲
Muchas gracias por su video. Voy a ponerlo en práctica 😀👍🌎🙂⛸⛸
Thanks to @CoachJulia and Coach Paolo! I will incorporate these. I need lift!
Go get after if Jenn! 😁

WHAT A FABULOUS Tutorial 😍
Glad you think so!
This is awesome jumping practicing skills I will need to learn soon. Thank you so much for this great training video. Love it!!!
You are so welcome!
Great exercises
Glad you like them!
Thank you so much, I'll train a while off-ice until covid has gone. This videos help lot 🤍
Woooooow Coach Julia it is a magnificent tutorial.
I am so glad to know you enjoyed it.
Coach do you have any tips for getting more rotations? For over 2 months now I can’t get past only 1.5 rotations:( Please help meeee ❤❤❤❤
I'd say it's really important to do all these exercises rotating both ways because you don't want to get lopsided and make sure you're always landing on the ball on your foot so you can get that nice soft landing on ice
So perfectly the exercises I was wanted !!! 🔥
Yay! Glad you found the exercises you were looking for!
Awesome video thanks ❤❤

This is absolutely brilliant! Thanks for sharing. But could I really be doing these jumps every day of the week (I am training on the ice 6 days per week)?
You can! If you would prefer though, you could mix it up between a jumping warm up and a stretching warm up.

Definitely start with less rotation and improve technique. As technique improves, your ability to control rotation will improve.
With the height he's getting I'm convinced that he has springs in his feet...
Great demonstration though...will try it.
How many sets of reps should we do?
Did you mention at the end to take those exercises on to the ice? So repeat them on ice?
Just the principles. The controlled arm movement, the high knees on the jumps, the quick ankle snaps... etc.
The warm up exercises look like some of the kicking drills for Tae Kwon Do.
are these worth doing if ive never figure skated but i plan to? id imagine id be pretty ok movement wise on the ice cause i can rollerblade and do a waltz, 3 turn, etc. and i wanna prepare for when i learn figure skating
how would i teach myself or train myself to do more spins in the air because i really wanna become a figure skater but the nearest rink is an hour away 🥹
Cool
How many times should we do for each exercise?
It depends on how you are using it. If it is a warm up before skating, do one pass of each move. If you are doing it as an exercise session then repeat each move 3 ish times across the space you are practicing in.
I can work on this without ice
Yes exactly! And it will help you when you do get onto the ice.
I am a modern dancer and this is so helpful for airborne turns and jumps for me too 💪🩰🎭
We never do stuff like this in dance :0 but its super helpful
This is very helpful thank you so much! 🤍
Glad it was helpful!
he is my coach at skatetownnnn
He is an awesome coach!
