i Instructions

  1. 1. Setup: Put on speed skates, adopt a deep skating stance with heavily flexed knees and hips, and hinge forward at the torso to reduce wind resistance. Brace your core and glutes.
  2. 2. Execution: Push off powerfully to the side with one leg while gliding smoothly on the other. Transfer your weight fluidly and repeat the lateral skating stride, maintaining a low center of gravity.
  3. 3. Safety & Tips: Maintain a steady breathing rhythm suited to your pace, keep your core engaged throughout, and use coordinated arm swings for balance on the ice.
