White Dynomite led the group in a boot camp of off-skates conditioning for 20 minutes.
We then did a dynamic on-skates warm up to stretch out muscles a bit and get ready, including some balancing skills and moving our feet. We built up into sprints and squats, which really turned into a thigh-burner!
We took a water break, and then continued reviewing skating backwards with some basic drills from a standstill on the short distance across the rink. We also did "space invaders" to get our feet and legs used to doing their thing with our eyes up. Next was forwards and backwards crossovers on the track, both with a buddy and without. We broke the skill down even further to emphasize maximizing your power as you push off of each foot. We also continued to review "lateral movement" on the track with shuffling drills from the inside to the outside on the whistle, and back. We did push cart ladder drills to work on our endurance as well as our crossover form around the track, in the Jammer "magic circle," or "diamond." A majority of this practice dealt in this and focused around our crossovers and speed.
Be prepared for another hot practice on Saturday! Heat is going up, so let's make sure to drink plenty of water all week long. No binge drinking on Friday night, promise?? haha
