“Keep your back completely straight at all times.”
“You should stand tall on the ice.”
“Your arms should always stay rigid.”
“The deeper your knee bend, the better your control.”
“Beginners don’t need to focus on bending their knees much.”
“You should bounce in your knees for momentum.”
“Extension means locking your knees.”
“Good extension is only important for advanced skaters.”
“Focusing on extension slows you down.”
“Perfect form doesn’t matter when you’re just starting.”
“You’ll automatically develop good posture and form with practice.”
“You should mimic elite skaters’ form exactly.”
Proper posture helps you maintain balance, reduces the risk of falling, and allows for smoother transitions and glides.
Proper knee bend absorbs shocks, increases stability, and allows for better control during strides, stops, and turns.
Your knees should be bent enough that your knees are above your toes, and your hips are slightly back, creating a seated position.
Extension is the full stretch of your legs and body to maximize power, control, and glide during strokes and movements.
How do I improve my extension?
Practice fully straightening your pushing leg during strides and elongating your upper body while maintaining balance.
Why is extension important for beginners?
Extension helps beginners develop longer, more efficient strides and better balance on the ice.
How can I practice extension off the ice?
Exercises can help improve flexibility and strength for better extension on the ice
You might be overusing certain muscles due to improper posture or shallow knee bends. Relax, bend deeper, and engage your core for more efficient movement.
With regular practice, most people see significant improvement in a few weeks, but consistency and feedback are key.
