Doing this in a coutry that never snows, and actually dreaming about ice skating is kinda self torturing but I'm still doing it

As a figure skater, I have to say this is PERFECT!! I use it twice a day - before and after I skate. Thank you for this routine!!

Welp nothing to do during lockdown so stretching it is Edit: I can touch my toes now lol

Tried these this evening and felt great! I always wanted to ice skate so I started going to the rink near me on days off to learn. I always stretched when I dance but not nearly enough. I’ve been really out of shape and honestly have never been very flexible so I’ll keep trying this every day and hope it will help me! Tbh for anyone reading I’m a much larger person, about 240 pounds, but this is still doable. Wherever I can’t reach I go as far as I can and it’s still effective. So anyone saying they can’t do it just do your best!

Thinking of trying figure skating after lockdown, until then I’m doing rollerblading and my body is all sore and tense 😬 thanks for this video!

jSDHSD i cant even reach my toes

Awesome video, dunno it's just so relaxing watching you stretch! Also you're really flexible! I aspire to be more flexible and your videos are helping 😁

What a nice quick effective and relaxing stretch. It really helped after my workout. Missed a stretch on my last training and I felt it. Thank you for sharing this video it definitely came at the right time.

This is exactly what I needed!!

I just bought some roller skates but my hamstrings are so tight I’m so scared I’m gonna hurt myself... tysm for this video I’m gonna do this everyday while waiting for my skates 😭😭

Felt great after jumping a lot today :)

Thank you! It's been years (8) since my dr's made me quit figure skating in that time I've forgotten what my stretching routine used to be like. This helped me remember and it felt great!

As a ice hockey player, I've always knew that I needed to increase my flexibility. Just doing your routine has confirmed that hahaha. Barely made but I'm here. I'll be doing this on a daily especially since working from home with all that is going on. Thank you!

Awesome! I'm not a figure skater though. Ok and beneficial to do anyway?

I JUST REALIZED HOW TIGHT MY HIP IS. 🤣 gotta do this more often for sure. Thank you so much for the video!

i am starting ice skating lessons in a few weeks, never done it before but ive been a roller skater for 5 years :) so im trying to increase my flexablity

Tysm!!

I’m getting back into figure skating after two years and I’ve been doing your workout and stretching exercises. I never was really strong or flexible but the videos are definitely helping a lot! Thanks so much!

Thank you so much! This will help when I am done with my figure skating!♥️ and maybe before I do it!

Great stretching sequence! It felt soooo good! Thank you!

*this video just called me unflexible in 50 different positions*

Roller skater here, and just what my body was looking for! Thank you

Thank you for this video x

Love it, thanks

I’m anticipating getting back on the ice after months off it, I’m very much new to ice skating and would like to try figure skating just for fun, but I need to get over my main fears first which is falling and inflexibility. I’ve started stretching yesterday with this video in preparation so hopefully I can trust the process! I just need to be more fit in general. Thanks for this!

I’m a beginner figure skater and thay showed me how inflexible I am I will continue doing this thanks

done ! So helpful and I’m gonna keep doing it !

Love Your videos!

Started focusing on my flexibility finally and got my middle splits! love your video, needed a stretching routine after ice skating

I use this video every day (alongside other videos). I have always been inflexible but this video in particular really helps !! I can see the improvement in just a few week and I feel more confident. Thank you for your videos :)

Great stretches

So I am doing a yoga project and I’m wondering what these poses are called

Thank you!

as a newbie figure skater even i can tell this is a REALLY GOOD stretch routine!!!! i’ll keep doing this routine thanks a lot!!

thanks so much!

I am a figure skater and this helped a lot thx!!

You are the best!!!

I want to start skating this winter, I hope stretching (along with some other exercises) will give me a good foundation to learn faster

new figure skater here, trying to find new stretches that’ll maybe be better. hope this works ❤❤❤

I'm far from doing these stretching exercises correctly or fully... but I'm going to keep working on it. Getting better every day!

Thanks

Thanks this really helps! For OG stretches, really needed this so when i get back on the ice after quarantine i’m on fire!

Wow! I love this video! I am a figure skater and i have been doing it since i was 3 now I’m 11 and i have to say this is a great video for figure skaters. This helps so much and i hope people start doing these stretches!

I've gotten some progress following your routines. Thanks!

I’ve actually never done a lot of the different stretches that you did in this video before, which I actually like since that means that it can be more of a challenge for me. I really enjoyed this video!

I did this today ... so good.

This were great! Definitely one of the best stretching routines I've tried

I really love this routine ! It’s so pleasant to do the stretches, I’ll definitely do it everyday ! ^^ besides, sometimes I almost fall asleep x)

I am gonna have ice skating classes for begginners I know how to like get on the ice and skate but I don't think my feet are in the right position I loooooove skating I used to be in ballet but only for a bit of time cause I got lazy to do it every weekend and wake up early I know the classes are gonna be the same but i love skating so I think I won't quit this time lol😉

I’m starting figure skating this year but I’m not very flexible so this video helps a lot!

Lol, you say 'slowly down' and then drop like a rock. 👍Sofa Bar

im a figure skater and that really helped!

The pigeon pose was surprisingly comfortable after I looked up some tutorials. I could actually fall asleep in that pose

i thought i was flexible because i can do an okay y-spiral and catch spiral,, but nope this has confirmed that i need to stretch more because i am nowhere near flexible haha! awesome video!!

this is the first stretching video that i actually had fun doing ! thank you

I love your videos

I've been super interested in figure skating these last few months, but I realized I probably need to lose the tension in my hamstrings & get a little more flexible in order to skate. So I'll update you.. haha

I tried it and it hurt at first but after a few times I got the hang of it! it's rlly calming too! thank you so much! :)

I'm not a figure skate but I would LOVE to be, I'm also not flexible so this is really helpful for me to get a little more flexible before starting figure skating. I really hop it's never too late to start at 13❤

These stretches are great but I feel like you go so fast through them lol. Appreciate the video tho. Tysm 💗

I was a figure skater for a few year then a dancer. I’ve gained about 100 pounds partially from chronic illness and partially from depression. I’m hoping to be able to lose weight and start skating again 🥰 wish me luck

I need this

This helps a lot. I’m a figure skater and I am so not flexible. I can do axels and double salchows yet my spirals and beilmans look like a wooden plank is trying to do them lol. Thanks :)

I recently developed the wish of trying out figure skating, even though I'm not very sportive and not really flexible but it just looks so cool and like you're free on the ice. Sadly I'm fifteen so I don't expect much and also I can't find like lessons at my local rink and that really broke me because even though I have an interest for once (haven't really done anything in my childhood so I wasted that time) and now that I want to try it I can't really do it. If I went on my own it would probably be packed and I don't really know what to do. But they only do lessons for children Oh I also dance but only around winter and I also dream of getting my splits one day

This is a great workout!! Your workout helped me to reduce pain that I experienced for several days.❤️

This is so 😌

i did this along with your beginner spilts video and i’m in bed rn... i can’t feel my legs omg :,,,

great workout it helps on my right side but in my left side i see no improvement and it hurts alot i cant even do that leg in 90 degrees

I can't to half of the positions, but I try. Maybe someday I'll be more flexible.

well this is gonna help me get my spiral straighter.

Heyy question...Is it normal that when i do this exercises i can be pretty flexible but the next day when i just casually stretch my leg im not that flexible at all?(for example raising my leg while i stand up,or just kick in the air softly)

It is taking longer and longer for me to loosen up before skating as I get older. My muscles are always tight. Any tips? I’ll give your stretching routine a try.

I am a figure skater (star 4) and my coach told me to try to be more flexible I've tried so many flexibility stretches and workout and still no improvement any advice?

I did this after my training and it felt so relaxing 🙂 gotta work on the flexibility of my hamsting to learn those splits tho 😅

Thank you although I almost died doing it

You are so good I can not touch my toes

Okay, I tried this for the first time just a minute ago, it was literally so painful!!! I'm gonna keep doing this every day and see what happens, at least for this month, Ig I'll update in a month!

5 min in i didn't know a body could do all of that.😭 I can't reach nothing this girl has such a flexible body.

would you recommend doing this after your workout video?

can I use these to become flexible for figure skating?

Day 1 Complete

I’m 13 and thinking of doing ice skating is it too late to start being flexible?

I've been doing this for 3 days and I can already feel a slight difference in my leg flexibility! thanks x

Can I do all of this right before exercising ?

Me doing this even tho I’m not a figure skater

💔 the fact that I’m watching this because of yuri on ice

hi!! im still 14 and I tried this and it really felt hurtful in some areas, (I wanna be a figure skater it's my dream, but this is just a question, is it really supposed to hurt this much?

Bro i'm 17 who feels like 70 😂😭 I'm trying to be just more flexible and thinking about attemting sport cuz this ain't it and am thinking about figure skating. Is something i always thought was beatiful but never considered doing it myself. I'm gonna try learn a bit just to have fun cuz i can't even stand on ice😭. But i guess it all begins somewhere. My body and flexibility is beneath 0. So thank you for this vid is really helpfull.

For everyone who's feeling bad about their flexibility: I couldn't even do the first exercise, since I can't sit straight up if I have to sit with my legs straight on the ground. So my bow forward was like 135 degrees 😅

U just killed me, im VERY new to figure skating and I think I just died

do you need a warm-up before these exercises?

When you don't even have to try to reach your feet when sitting with straight legs because it already hurts you know your need more flexibility 👁️👄👁️ (couldn't be me🌱🌱🌱🌱)

Me I'm going to sit on my bed eating oreos but ends up here and becoming becoming figure skater

ouchie, my grandma died doing this workout.. thanks.

i must remember NEVER TO PAIN. to hold the stretch for 10 seconds then try moving INTO stretch deeper and hold another 10 - 15 seconds. SLOW and steady. so many rips/tears pulls can happen just with an incorrect stretch routine. :) always WARM muscles before stretching too. stretching A COLD MUSCLE is ouch for a long time. soft tissue seems to never heal properly. scar tissue builds. i admire ballerinas stretch routines. and look what they put their muscles through. :)

7:54 these where the emotions I was going through when I saw this:😤😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😨😨😨😰😰😰😥😥😥😥😓😓😓

I recommend doing this at .75 to .5 speed bc it’s too fast tbh

Hello, I'm Brazilian (so I live in Brazil, and here it only snows in VERY specific places very rarely), so ice skating for me would be very difficult, since my city doesn't have anything like that, and the closest city with Ice skating is more than a 2 hour drive if traffic is good. However, I've been completely in love with ice skating since I was little (literally since I started understanding things, I LOVE ice skating), so I don't want to give up. I skated once in my life, and it was magical. I never forgot that feeling. Since that time, I've been training at home, studying even more about skating and everything else. I hope that one day I will actually be able to skate like I always wanted. My parents don't really support me in this, but they don't stop me. I just need to prove to them that I really want this and that I can do it. My father said he might find a way for me to go ice skating there. I'm dreaming about this day and night, and I hope that everyone who dreams the same as me can achieve their goals. I will be rooting for you, please root for me. Thanks for listening❄️❤

anyone else here searched for this because they’re not a figure skater but still want to live their dreams by doing related stretches 😔😃
