Respek on that squat depth, we ain't half reppin out here, lol
I was skeptical about the video title, but end up being really impressed with your thoughtfulness, especially the example given between falling down and push up training. I've watched countless videos of skating techniques, but only yours inspires me to go to fitness corners, do push ups, pull-ups and stretching. By no means am I a good skater, but I believe your ideas have lots of merits. I am going to practice your method and eager to see how I could improve as a skater.
I'd be interested in balance building exercises.
Balancing leg day and skating is an ongoing problem, unless it's below zero out, like right now. Ideally, I'd hit legs every 4 days, with a skate between. With ice skates, which I hope to finally have next Thursday, weather won't kill my plan as often.
I know exactly what you mean about leg day and skating. It is hard to select a period where there is training and rest time, before you skate again.
Injury resistance is why I finally joined a “Kinstretch/Functional Range Conditioning” class. Knowing my mobility limitations have helped me focus on a few joints to strengthen those end range of motion danger zones.
Weight training is used as a way to strengthen my skating ability, but also improve aging. My grandmother had a hunched back due to Osteoporosis, and I’m determined to avoid that outcome.
Hearing about the number of older skaters who stop skating due to knee issues just breaks my heart (and the number of joint replacements! 🧠 boggled). So knee work has jumped up in priority. I started elevating my front foot in a lunge to get a deeper ROM, and while I hate how much time it adds, unilateral work is where I need to concentrate.
Great video!
Great input here! I know plenty of skaters who have quit due to knee problems. Some not even middle aged. But I know a lot of older skaters who skate into very old age because they take care of themselves and are proactive. I have a fellow figure skater friend who can still do many advanced jumps at age 63. He stretches and lifts weights daily.
Great insights; love these!! My top 3 are inlines, ice…then quads, respectively. A simple fwd stride on Quads is so crazy foreign!! Nonetheless thanks for keeping our eyes wide open.

Can you do a video on how you approach / plan a new training routine?
To echo your messaging with my own journey, I've found that with my activities, they've all been complementary to each other. In picking up skating (inline and a bit of ice recently), those have worked so well with taekwondo and swimming. Previously, I biased only towards swimming, and occasionally went to the gym, but consistency wasn't always there. In now having options for physical activities, I've also found growth in my capabilities across each.
In swimming, it's an amazing low impact activity which allows focus on certain body areas as I stroke laps alongside controlling my breathing & pacing. With taekwondo, it's highlighted so many areas of compensation and "impingements," leading to increased mindfulness about how movements and techniques are expressed during class and self-practice. Specifically to martial arts, it's led to tremendous respect for stretching and range of motion with correctness of form. After picking up skating, my stability increased tremendously where doing kicks and progressions on those techniques (like spinning kicks, crescent kicks, scissors kicks, etc) has been way easier compared to stumbling I had in the past!
Moving slower, mindful movements with specific parts of the body, doing negatives (eccentric) phases of movements and not just stopping with the positives (concentric), stretching, and retrospecting on my movements; applying these have led to so much growth!
Thank you for sharing this informative and well written comment! 🤜🤛
Everyone should know that there are options for improving in our disciplines...where we don't have to increase risk of injury, getting "burned out", or bored by bland repetition. After injuring my lower back last year, being incapacitated for over a week, and working through residual annoyances, I'm happy to throw my voice in too! 🤘
Good video. You are really strong.
Couldn't get to the part where he talks about the topic. My eyes were twitching from the footage taken with the dirty lenses.
