Purpose: This exercise will help skaters to use the added resistance to build strength and stability specifically for the muscles needed in the lutz and work on their control as they reach back. This exercise will help skaters to feel more control with their skating leg as they reach back allowing for better edge control as well. This drill will also help skaters to work on the coordination and timing of their upper body and lower body while maintaining stability in their skating leg.
Focus: lutz, walk through, resistance, upper body and lower body coordination, stability
