r for anyone, and today I'm going to show you the first steps of getting on the ice and moving, so before you get on the ice for the first time and accelerate the first time, you're probably going to feel a little wobbly. That's perfectly normal, so before going on the ice it's always good to take a few steps and get to the locker room or hallway to feel the strap of your skate.

Try to keep your hips, knees and feet. I'm Online. just go a few steps to regain your balance and then you can come back and unfortunately another thing is Stevens is a lot of fun but the first few times you turn maybe when you're

So when you go on the ice for the first time, I recommend that you go to the boards right away, hold on to them and try to balance. Side to side it looks like this push, push back and forth. Recently, a lot of people, when they go on the ice for the first time, try to skate like it's a race and it looks like that, but you don't do it. you really go anywhere and start developing bad habits. We want to learn how to push a hockey ski or ice skate from side to side right away.

Once you feel comfortable on the boards, then you could take a step away from the board and do it. while you are swinging freely it looks like this if you need to put your free foot in the middle that is perfectly fine for the younger kids they complained about not being able to hold on to the board there are always some chairs or some skating helpers around the rink you are a bit Smaller chair grip Do you like this? So wouldn't we feel comfortable just rocking back and forth? We will stay with our chair, but we will take our first steps on the ice.

Still, it is important to be careful. We're out there pushing, we're pushing slightly behind us, but not completely back, otherwise we're not going anywhere. I'm going to go down to the boards and come back so you can see what it looks like. It is also important to bend your knees as much as possible. This is a good habit for later and it simply makes you stable on the ice and you will have a more powerful stride. If you stand up straight, you don't have much balance and later you will find it difficult to have good power in your legs because from this position I am really powerless, so once you have skated a few laps and feel comfortable with your chair, it's time to get rid of it and skate freely.

Even though the ice isn't going to change much, I'm still not going to move my arms, I'll just keep them in front of me for a bit of balance. I'm going to try to bend my knees well. I mean, this is a good knee bend. To start, if you just come here, that's fine, just make sure you're not completely upright and we're going to do the same exercise that we just did without a chair. I have my hands in front of me and I can hold myself up. If I fall on the ice, of course, I don't have gloves here, it's probably not a bad idea to use a Santa and now we're ready for a regular skating strike.

Now I will use my arms and contrast with my legs that are pushed quite a bit to the sides when I am skating. I want to move my arms back and forth, not completely straight, but I look like someone like that and definitely not like that when I use my arms I can gain a little more speed than just working. with my legs so that's it it's alerting to speed up the packs school haka I hope you enjoyed the video I want you to get off the ice it's a lot of fun but I also want you to watch and learn how to get a good strike so you can put together some sliding feet .
