Figure Skaters ✨ Falling is NOT failure! 🫶

Even if your fall is from keeping your guards on, tripping on your toe pick, or a stop 😅

Hi Figure Skater Friends 👋 Join me for this full-body ice skater workout. 20 min home routine!

Comment “7” for access to all of my 30 min & less skater workouts 💪

I’m 7 weeks post PAO surgery and labrum repair. Excited to be able to stand and kneel without crutches, and gain some single leg balance. Still a long way to go! I’ll be posting my workouts & sharing modifications. Hoping this helps when trying new exercises or coming back from an injury.

This is Day 1 of my Daily Skater Workouts. I’m dropping 5 workouts weekly (3 strength & 2 mobility/core) every Monday on the Coach Mary Skating app.

3 sets 10 reps:
✅ Triset: Good morning with dumbbell row with B stand single leg squat with bicep curl left and right
✅ Superset: SL bridge left and right
✅ Superset: Pallof press and half-kneeling wood chopper

‼️Comment “7” to access Block 1 which starts 9/21. With voiceovers & Coach-led cues 🙌

Figure Skater Chit Chat ✨ It’s normal for new skills & programs to have an awkward phase. 😅 Embrace it, the struggle will be worth it!

What skating things feel awkward for you? For me, it’s left tango stops lol. 🤪

Figure Skaters ✨ Your core is doing more than you think! Try this core circuit for better stability & posture on the ice. 💪

Comment “CORE” and I’ll send you my favorite skater core workouts. 👀

Why core work is important for skaters:
✅ Cleaner landings that don’t wobble
✅ Faster & tighter spins with less flailing arms
✅ Taller & more controlled skating posture

2-3 rounds, 10-15 reps each:
✨ Plank with Dumbbell Drag
✨ Side Plank with Hip Abduction - Left
✨ Side Plank with Hip Abduction - Right
✨ A Frame Oblique Twist

Want more core workouts? Comment “CORE” and I’ll send them over! 🫶 Coach Mary.

for takeoff
⛸️ Toe Loop Jump: Jump comes off the heel
⛸️ Loop Jump: Patience to generate BO edge pressure
⛸️ Flip Jump: Tapping on the way up

Figure Skaters ✨ Landing your jump is already decided by your jump preparation and takeoff. So spend extra time on strength for better technique from the start!

Comment “JUMP” to learn how to train your jumps effectively off-ice alllll from home.

Muscles to know about:
✅ Your hip flexors + glutes fire to load your leg.
✅ Your ankles plantarflexion to push through your toe for maximal height. Your knees and hips extend too.
✅ Your core is engaged to keep your jump axis stable in the air.
✅ Your shoulders don’t drop and the arm swing assists with jump height.

I don’t just tell skaters to jump higher. I train the exact muscles that create a better takeoff off the ice, so it transfers on the ice.

If your takeoffs feel weak, I’m happy to help. Comment “JUMP” if you want access to my fave takeoff drills!

Adult Figure Skaters ✨ You didn’t lose your flexibility overnight!

It’s the accumulation of desk jobs, long commutes, injuries, and hours sitting that quietly tightens your joints and muscles. Stiff backs, hips, ankles … sound familiar?

The good news: flexibility and mobility responds to input at any age. You just need consistent movement ✨

Try 1 minute each of these mobility exercises! 5 minutes to less stiffness 😅 Comment “MOBILITY” for more of my 10 minutes or less routines.
✅ Shoulder dislocates
✅ Adductor stretch with thread the needle
✅ 90/90 with thruster
✅ Forward reach with arm swoop
✅ Hip flexor lift
