What do you do for warm-up on/off ice as a Synchronized Skater with your Team?
Say, some websites gave me the idea for this tthread.To all Synchronized Skaters. What do you do for warm-ups, on and off the ice? BTW. is praticing off ice the same as warming -up off ice? Just wondering.

Off-ice: Jogging, jumping jacks, stretching, cardio stuff. Basically, anything to get our muscles warmed up. Not for my team. Practicing off-ice typically conists of walking through our program (arms, heads, counts, footwork, pinwheels, etc.). Basically we "skate" our program in our shoes doing everything we would do on-ice off-ice. This helps us perfect our expression, timing, positions, and so on when there's not always ice time available or to get us prepared before skating at a competition or exhibition. Doing off-ice (or warming-up) is what I listed above: mainly cardio and stretching. |

I'm not very consistent about warming-up off-ice, preferring to do so on-ice when time allows; when I do, as one has to at competition, for instance, it tends to include - stepping on the spot, running on the spot, swinging arms, rotating shoulders and neck, rotating waist and hips in all directions, and finally finishing off with full-body stretches. After which I go and get changed, then do it all again before I put my skates on.
