Conditioning for Figure Skating: Off-Ice Techniques for On-Ice Performance

This is a great reference book for any skater of any age!!

I highly recommend this book. 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. The only negative to this book is the photos and text explaining some of the moves - they could be a bit more descriptive.A great book from a very qualified author. These programs will yield great results on the ice if you put the time and effort in to conditioning.

I gave this as a gift to my daughter. It has good information and plenty of images. Tons of information.

This is a great addition to any skaters library. It's filled with a lot of conditioning techniques specific to the sport that an athlete would benefit from adding to their routine. If you are looking to avoid getting a personal trainer to develop a skating specific routine this would be a good place to start.

Very good book for figure skaters.

Expected it to be more instructive. May be it would make more sense for couches, but it's not useful for people who are self-training.

Used book: arrived promptly and in excellent condition.

There are a lot of conditioning ideas in this book. The book has been a good supplement to a conditioning class I run and helped to keep the class fresh as we are able to rotate the routines around and not just do the same thing.
