5. One Leg Balance Drill
Skaters need incredible balance and spend hours working
on balance drills.
• Stand tall and tuck in your chin.
• Bracing your core and keeping your hips strong and squared

to the ground, slowly hinge forward from the hips as you lift
one leg. The goal is to keep the body in a beautiful straight
line from the neck and spine to the heel.
• Try holding for 1 minute. Switch sides and repeat.
Tip: Relax and focus your eyes on an object that is not moving.
This will help you with balance.
