LET’S START THE
SEASON WITH A
3.0 GRADE OF
EXECUTION!
B
ecoming the Olympic/World champion takes hard work,
perseverance and dedication. It does not happen over
night, which is why we are here to help. In each issue our
experts will help you set your goals, train your mind, train your
body properly off the ice, and get the right tips on nutrition and
injury prevention. Most of all, we are here to provide you with
the knowledge of everything you need to know about what it
takes to succeed when you step off the ice. It takes more
than on ice training to become a champion.
Each of our editions will be packed with advice,
tips and scientifically backed research on
fitness training, injury prevention, training the mind, nutrition and glamour.
We will also include excerpts from
current and former figure skaters
all over the world who give us
their side of the story.
We want to welcome
you to the official
start of the new season of training. This
edition we will teach you
how to condition, build
endurance and set goals
for the new season ahead.
We have also included a Figure Skaters Talk section, where
skaters of all levels will discuss
every day figure skating topics.
Our Glamour section will feature two
skaters in different age groups, where
we will break down step by step tips on
how to do hair and make-up for a tango
theme solo.
We hope you enjoy our very first edition of
Figure Skater Fitness.
Let’s start training!
