How athletic is your stance?

We use the athletic stance in preparation for so many movements. But are you doing it right? Do you stick your 🍑 out?

When you have your 🍑way out, you’re arching you’re back and in the anterior pelvic tilt position. This is when you’re encouraging your hip flexors to fire up đŸ”„đŸ”„ Not good - this leads down to a chain of issues.

Same as when doing the Slider exercises - it targets your glutes. Extend behind you from you hip, not from your back. When you’re in an anterior tilt position, your glutes will engage less. Your abs will be sloppy too.

Many skaters ask if they should skate with this stance. I often say if you’re just gently pushing off, and gliding then there’s no reason why you should be accessing your back and not just use your hips.

These are just 2 of many aspects, but don’t overthink it đŸ˜đŸ€Żlet me know if you enjoyed this sort of content, and I can share more of it.
