Ice Dynamics® is a conditioning program in injury prevention and fitness for the competitive figure skater. Training developed by Ice Dynamics® is designed to initiate good conditioning habits and improve the total performance of skaters at all levels through endurance, power, strength, balance, and flexibility exercises.

Who Can Benefit

All skaters can benefit from additional off-ice training. With Ice Dynamics®, our conditioning programs are modified to fit all age groups: prepubescent, adolescent, young adult, and adult. We also tailor programs for individuals with injuries to augment rehabilitation. We strongly recommend that all individuals, including those with a current or previous injury or illness should see a doctor before beginning any exercise program.

What We Do

Off-ice training techniques do not require an expensive gym membership! These exercises can be done in any comfortable place with minimal equipment (see ordering section) and include strengthening, core stabilization, flexibility, off-ice jumping and rotation drills, advanced balance techniques and agility exercises. High intensity interval training is used to prepares the body for the demands of program run-throughs and teaches skaters how to work near their maximal heart rates to greatly increase stamina! This is a safe way to train, as heart rates peak each time skaters do their programs. We will show you how to incorporate all this into your workout using resistance bands, jump ropes, cones and other training tools. You will see the improvements in your flexibility, strength and stamina!

On-ice conditioning and edge exercises develop a well-rounded skater with balance, strength and power. Several off-ice exercises mimic on-ice skills, which transfer to on-ice power and edge drills for sport-specific balance, strength, control and speed.
