Even that 1st exercise, I’m only able to balance with my heels raised, not flat. Suspect I need to work on my ankle mobility before I can get that low!
When you're on the ice your heel is raised as well, so it should be easier to squat down like that. If you have low ankle mobility like me you should look into getting weightlifting shoes which have their heel raised a bit or you can try putting a small block of wood under your heel. It will make practicing the first exercise a lot easier.
@@pierreadeikalam1086that advice is extremely helpful. I usually have zero drop shoes on in the gym but that extra bit of support in the heel makes all the difference. Have also been incorporating ankle strength & mobility into my routine and already seeing improvement
Thank you so much for these, my son is skating on quad rollers and I have been trying to help him get to this balance & searching for exercises has been a pain. I am really grateful for the channel.
I'm actually a 60 year old quad skater trying to improve shoot the duck, (ha) for limbo. Just can't let all those youngins have all the fun. I have watched many tutorials on this move. Your video came up in my feed. I'm glad it did. I have never seen the exercise where you sit down on your tush, bend one leg, keeping that foot on the floor, other leg straight out, then come back up on the one bent leg, keep the other leg off the floor and straight. Gee I can't even type the exercise. Lol ....challenging exercise and is interesting. Will give it a go. Thank you.
That is great exercise. It is really hard for me to go down and get kne leg straight. I feel this si great for me to get strength and better sit spins. Thank you
I really appreciate the progression here. Folks have been telling me "just do a bunch of pistol squats" but I can't really do them in a way that's safe for my knees yet!
I can do shoot the duck all the way down and go for laps with it for years, but haven't quite gotten down the sit spin yet...am excited to try out these tips for myself :D
I can hold my balance but I'm having real trouble with coming back up on one leg. So basically doing a one legged squat. My coach tells me to practice it off ice but I feel like nothing works 🥲
I can do it on one side, but the other side hasn't been there since I keep getting cramps in my spinalis / rotatores /multifidus and then I'm out for a bit. Did you find that skating makes your back uneven?
I can do a knees together squat on ice, but when I try to pull my leg out it hurts and shakes violently if I have it anything close so to straight. Any tips?
These videos are like taking private lessons. Really really helpful. Thanks ever so much.
You're very welcome!💜💜💜

I can do a knees together squat on ice, but when I try to pull my leg out it hurts and shakes violently if I have it anything close so to straight. Any tips?
Just take it nice and easy with the exercise. ❤️❤️
might be a flexibility issue on the straightened leg?
