- Hey guys, it looks like for us figure skaters we're going to be off the ice for quite a while :(. But here is what I'm doing to keep up with my training, hopefully, you can take some exercises from this video to stay fit for when we go back! We're all in the together guys, please stay safe and healthy ❤️
If you guys don't have a spin board I highly recommend this one: www.kimspinergy.com/shop/

really like this video! I am a figure skater too and I'm doing it for fun so I don't train like 5/6 times a week but I miss it so much. I think I am going to do your off-ice training routine when I have time so thank you for sharing!
yay!! i hope this helps :)
I love this! I recently discovered my passion for figure skating and am curious and excited to try it out! I’m currently a junior and aspire to skate competitively, do you think I could still try it out despite my age in the competition world? Still need to learn the basics though ^^’ Amazing video!!
Of course! You can start skating at any age ❤️
Same here! Starting as a 14 y/o and I’m already getting far
Yooo I started at 14 too (but it was early 2020 so most of my progress was this year)!! I’m almost out of the ‘skate school’ program at my rink and I’m really excited to learn figure skating
I started at 6
I’m 13 and aspiring to start figure skating. Hopefully my mum lets me start classes
Edit: I’ve started classes and I’ve got my own pair of skates now!
Edit 2: I have loads of skating stuff now and im also moving up level!
Your spins are so good I could never 😂 I miss you 💗
i miss you too 🥺❤️
I’m so interested in figure skating! I’ve been wanting to try it out but feel like I’m too old as I mostly see teenagers skate. But I’m still excited to try it out and see how it goes
Just do it, if you won't be in olympics there isn't pressure for you age, just have a lot of fun and that's all
I'm so ready for this entertaining video!!
your videos are so helpful for me. i tried ice skating once and i wanna try doing it as a sport or hobby and i love how helpful and fun you channel is🥺🥺 let’s hope soon or later i’ll be able to get on ice again!
Thank you!!! I will definitely be using these exercises, thanks for adding in the tips and tricks to help too!!
Thanks for this!! I am one of the moms on the executive for our skating club in South River Ontario Canada (population of 1000) and I was so pleased to see your post. I am posting something each week for our older skaters to keep active with as we are still in lockdown up here..... Most of them have spinners so this is great!!
I swear, all figure skaters are stunninggg
I love your videos! I’m a beginner skater, and your videos help me very much!❤❤❤
im looking at this for off ice drills so i have a little bit of preparation when i start skating again (i’ve been off the ice for about 5 years 😞) thank you 💗
Thank you! This was concise, clear and showed very good examples! - a new skater
rachel your spins are SO good!!
thank you 🥺
Omg I’ve always wanted to figure skate but I’m already going into my first year of high school so you think I could still start??( I know you he basics of scating nothing fancy)
of course! you can start figure skating at any age! ❤️
Go for it! It’s never too late to start :)
I started my first year of high school and it’s so worth it! Definitely try it out!
I started figure skating during my freshman year (which actually just ended) and I’m so glad I did. I totally understand how nerve wracking it can be to try and start something that people your same age have been doing since they could walk but after a while those worries fade when you realize how much you love doing it ❤️ it’s so worth it if it’s something you enjoy doing!
Woah all of you guys also started freshman year?? Lol same (which just ended for me)
Hey, I’m early! I love all of your content 💕
thank you!
your loop is really nice, thanks for tips i´ll look for that spinner
Omg this is super interesting!😍
omg i love your routine i se almost the same one (almost)
Once you use the spin board for a while, it gets easier, especially easier to control when you start leaning back unto your heel.
Wooow you are so great!!
Oh my gosh! I'm so glad I found you, what the heck?!
Over quarantine boredom, I found myself watching Figure Skating, AND OH MY GOSH, I LOVE IT!
My favorite skaters that I've seen so far are: Yuzuru Hanyu, Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir #Canadianprideuwu, and Kurt Browning.
Anyways, I just had some questions!
I have nEVER BEEN GOOD AT SKATING, EVER. I try to go to the rink and not use the pushy things 5 year olds use, but I always do cause my ankles hurt, or I can't get enough speed, or I don't know how to stop, or just skate like... At all D;
Since I've taken a sudden interest during covid, I can't go try and learn how to skate!
Would roller skating be a good option? And if so, roller skates or roller blades? None of the roads in my area are smooth, but I could find areas if it would benefit me when arenas open up again.
What exercises could I learn as a beginner off ice?
I love your channel! Thanks!
🥝🍋🥭🍑🌿🌵🌾
Edit: I'm going in to grade 9, September 2020. Is it worth it to start skating?
you can start skating at any age!! as a beginner if you really want to pursue ice skating start with going forward, backward, swizzles (forward and backward), snowplow stop. (you can probably look up how to do those). personally i’m not roller skating because i don’t want to ruin my technique. i have a off ice skating video to help you out! thank you so much for your comment! it means a lot to me ❤️❤️ i’m so glad i could help (also your ankles hurt because public skates are trash haha)
oh my gosh i’ve gotten obsessed with skating recently and i’m gonna take lessons i’m also not very good and i’m in 9th too!❤️
@@joannaholman9376 Thats so awesome to hear! My skating high has died down a bit since the rinks have opened because its so hard to get a spot in skating since everyone wants to go now that the rinks are open! But I hope things go well with you!
Hey this is really late, but your feet will just hurt from the hire skates!! They suck and don’t support you like other skates do :)
I find that if you stand further back on the spinner than you are in this video, it's easier to have more consistent spins since it kinda has a similar bow as the blade (but more prominent ofc) but yeah great video
Thanks for sharing, it was very useful.
I really wanna do figure skating and i love it so much. I can already spin on ice and im pretty stable. Ive been about 10 times but i cant go that often. Is skating expensive and how much is it cause im kind of broke to afford lessons
I know I’m a little late but thanks for the help!
how do you keep from getting dizzy??
edit: and since I've taken an interest in figure skating over COVID, should I be doing exercises and stretches to make my body adjusted to the lifestyle of it?
When this is over or when my local rink opens back up, I plan on just getting a year-round pass and maybe going a few times a week since I get virtually no exercise anyway. I feel like it could be a really nice hobby while giving me a challenge and keeping me healthy. one day I hope to do show skating because I know it is unrealistic to be going for major competitions since I'm already 13.
Do you have any good workouts and/or stretches for non-skaters looking to get into it? Im already trying to become more flexible but it's a long process.
PS: you are amazing!! i cant imagine being able to do more than one rotation off the ice let alone on.
It's not unrealistic to start competitively skating at 13!! You can definitely start now ❤️. I have a playlist called figure skating on my channel which has a ton of skating videos where I show small bits of my warm up and cool down routine. I want to make 2 videos dedicated to warming up and cool down soon. Thank you so much. :))
okay okay okay, since i don't have the little thing you use to spin at home, would you be able to use a sock on a bit of a slippery-ish surface?
Argh- I want to start figure skating so badly, but my closest rink is two hours away! And I know that I can't just drive up every weekend for an hour practise ;(
I need a spin board- cuz scratch spins are scary, and I hate spins in general. Jumps and the like aren’t that bad it’s just spins-
I know my comment doesn't fit the video, but how long have you been skating ❤️ love it
I’ve been skating for 12 years :)
Did you find the spin board to prove to be beneficial when going back to the ice? Deciding if to buy or not…
😂I’m here because I wanna be iN yuri on ice lamO
Honestly same-
@@crystallizeee me too 😂😂
im curious why you do your rotations and stuff on both sides. just for strength?
Hi I just went ice skating for the first time a few hours ago, I’m 16 and I really aspire to be as good as you and other figure skaters, I just bought my own skates after I came home and I was stuck on the wall most of the time, any tips on just moving forward in general? I’m struggling to get any power and movement and it’s kinda discouraging
ok i’m around the same age and level as rachel and i think i can help a little. first, a good priority would be signing up for lessons and getting a coach. until then, here’s how to skate forward with more power: it’s called stroking. you put your arms out like you’re a middle school boy T-posing in 2017 and pick a foot to push onto. some things to remember would be
1. stand up straight and don’t look at your feet
2. power comes from your push. with your back foot, you wanna turn it out and push off of the ball if your foot (the part closest to the toepick that isn’t the actual toepick)
3. bend your knees. power in your push also comes from the bend and rise action of your knees
idk if that makes any sense or helps at all but i’ll link a good video that demonstrates it better than i can explain: ua-cam.com/video/cbjAnsv59Mk/v-deo.html
hope this helps!
Tu pourrais faire une vidéo avec des entraînements spinner pour débutant ???
Car là c'est trop dur pour moi 😁
Merciiii
hi! I really didnt know how did I found your channel cuz I'm not from USA but I want to say that I really like your videos❤👀
(sorry if there are any mistakes)
thank you ❤️
Hi, I have a spinner but struggle with motion sickness when I use it. I have no issue when I’m skating though! Any tips for reducing dizziness and therefore nausea? Thank you xx
Iwould recommend taking it slow :) If you haven’t spun for a while maybe that’s why you have motion sickness. Just start with half and full rotations as a start. Don’t spin too fast when you just start doing more than 3 rotations :)
How much time do you spend doing this? Is for planning my off-ice training xd
You really are talented 👍 But I really liked the little dance routines lol 😂 . Hope ur well 💕 🌹
haha thank you!
If u have to stand more forward on the spin board than on ice, doesn't that get you into a bad habit you then have to break when you go back on the ice?
What surfaces can u use it on and what is an portable surface for cheap price thx
Where did you get the bands from?
I want to get into figure skating but can't but I have these glider disk for working out, do you think I can use them as a replacement for the spinny thing?
Just get on the ice is the best way to start. Before using spin boards you need to be able to do your 2 and 1 foot spins
How long do you do each exercise for?
omg, you´re so talented. when did you start and how old are you? i'm 16 and i'm about to start classes but everyone tells me that i'm too old :(
Hi! Also you’re never too old to start figure skating :) Everyone starts at a young age because its much easier but personally i dont think age matters i started skating when i was twelve and you definitely need to be very flexible for this sport and workout a lot and while doing this sport you definitely need to think of what you need to do and how your body will react and sure broken ankles can occur but its normal :) And it is also normal to train 8 hours in the weekends and around 2-3 hours on weekdays after school figure skating is a really fun sport and you should do it! My friend is 18 and is currently doing skating hope this helps :$
@@heartyu5129 thank you so much for helping me honey 🤍
You are not too old!!! When I was your age I thought the same thing so I never started. I lost so much time! But now at 21 I am training and getting better everytime 💪🏻 don’t get discouraged by your age!!!
@@mee9981 thank you!!! i appreciate your help a lot 💗
Where can I buy one of them spin boards
I really want to ice skate, but my parents aren't letting me because everything is too expensive
hey! im thinking of getting one of those spin boards, would you say they are helpful?
yes!
Okay but is the sport expensive? That’s the only reason I haven’t been skating cuz my mom says it’s expensive:/
Hii how do u not get dizzy when practicing spins? I have been trying to practice basic spins but I keep getting dizzy
just start with a half rotation, and then full rotation, and just increasing the rotations :)
Hey there, just a quick question: everyone I ever see online does their off ice in shoes, but I've always trained barefoot, but I wonder if it's better to train in shoes with the jumps and all bc they give u stability? For ballet (no pointe) and martial arts I do, barefoot training is meant to be better but idk if it's the same for figure skating, maybe I would progress faster if I do train in shoes? Idk any experiences with that comparison anyone? ☺️
personally i train in shoes. since you are in skates they give you a lot of ankle stability and for warming up to get on the ice i recommend shoes. but if you wanted to strengthen your ankles and your balance being barefoot helps.
@@RachelLiza thanks a lot, I will keep that in mind☺️ I guess we won't be allowed to warm up at the rink bc of the covid rules, so I will have to run in the parking lot I guess
Spinner ı nerden aldın acaba ?
If I don’t have the spinning board, can I use socks or something slippery instead?? Will it work the same?
it won’t work the same :( the spinning board is supposed to imitate the rocket on the blade and you can’t do that in socks
@@RachelLiza ahhhh really? I guess I’m gonna but the board then🤪 Thankyou for answering! :))
Where can you get spin boards?I am back in the rink but I still want to do this to get some extra practice in.
you can get it in your rink shop, or get the one i have online. it’s linked in the description ❤️
@@RachelLiza ok thank you!
uh ma'am what way do you turn (anticlockwise or clockwise)
I am a rightie so I spin counter clockwise on my right foot, and counter clockwise on my right foot. ( I spin to the left)
All i do is put on socks and skate on my slippery floor 😂😂😂
If this video left and right mirrored? You are spinning with you left or right foot up?
left foot up
@@RachelLiza noted. The letters are not mirrored.
haha i know nothing about this but all I can tell is that it looks somewhat similar to what I see on your skating vids
1:44 is it called resistence band?
yes
Not me skating whilst listening to the yuri on ice intro song acting like im some character that victor dates 😰
THUS IS SO DEPRESSING WE SRE BACK TO OFF ICE
I HATE THIS
why do you jump both ways?
Do you have to be flexible to be a figure skater?
if you start out with beginner classes/ tricks, you won’t have to be but it definitely does help. as you advance in lessons or move on to more difficult motions, the flexibility will develop. of course, you have to cultivate it by stretching too! hope this helps ^^
how long should I do each of these workouts?
at least an hour!
@@RachelLiza Thank you! I've been in love with figure skating for years, and now I can finally start investing time and money into it! Any tips for getting into competitive skating?
my body is sooooo stiff so skate is not for me 🤣
uhm does anyone know how i can skate faster ? i went skating for the second time today and i could skate and balance but i was super slow and my friends had to wait fr me :(
i think the best way to get faster is just to practice! iv’ve been skating for a few years now and when i started i was very slow and very wobbly. as i practice the tricks and the movements, i feel more sure in my motion and my balance, and i skate a lot faster and smoother than i used to! if you go to the rink often and work on balance (and trust in yourself), speed will develop too.
@@stefanieolbrich8214 ah okay !! ill be back at the rink in maybe a month so i’ll take your advice :)
@@yasminhehe9038 good luck!
Hey yo first
❤️
Omg thx so much
Have u ever hurt yourself training at home ?
only a few scrapes lol :)
