This book was so good from the library I wanted my own copy so that I could dog ear the pages and make sure I stay on track to get my skating to the level it can be to be great.
Overall, very informational. This is a well writen book that explains different exercises that will be of benefit to figure skaters and athletes alike. It is more of an adult/young adult read.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who is serious about ice skating. Definite improvement in sucessful jumps completed noticed right away. A wealth of information that is hard to find elsewhere. After reading from cover to cover, I handed it over to my daughters coach and together we developed an off ice training regimen that suits her skill level and reflects her goals.
The only negative to this book is the photos and text explaining some of the moves - they could be a bit more descriptive. I highly recommend this book. These programs will yield great results on the ice if you put the time and effort in to conditioning. A great book from a very qualified author. It details off-ice conditioning programs for singles, pairs, or dance and skaters of all ages and skill levels. Strength training, effective warm-up and cool down, plyometric, and other off-ice conditioning programs are detailed, as well as effectively improving your muscular and cardiovascular conditioning on ice.
Highly recommend. It helps my daughter to train smarter. This is a wonderful book that provides both in-depth analysis of why off ice training is critical to a successful skater and step by step off ice strength and conditioning manual. It totally changed my view of ice skating.
