Purpose: This exercise will help skaters to build strength and stability in their hips and glutes for more controlled movement on the ice. This exercise is an added core challenge above the standard hydrant exercise. Skaters should try to see minimal movement with leg and hip that is on the ground, while the leg lifting moves. Skaters can try doing this as a timed exercise with 30 seconds on each side.
Focus: core, hip strengthening, glute strengthening, abduction, hip and glute stability.
