SPINAL TWIST

I show a very simple---but for many skaters, not easy---exercise to practice this type of mobility. You can think of the vertebrae as forming a sequence of joints that bend forward and backward, and also rotate relative to one another.

Great info for skaters and coaches 👍

Gary fascinante. Excelentes giros . Me gusta mucho 🌹

Along with hip and upper body rotational movements we also use our skating leg and foot rotation at times. Other than the “bubble” exercise, I think that leg and foot turn should be taught and used more often. There’s a suggestion for future videos 😊

...and a good suggestion it is, Dave!
