Change in Schedule
We are giving up our Tuesday, November 16th time slot from 7:10 to 8:10 in order to promote good fellowship among our skating friends, the Junior Stars. What do we gain? We get an extra half hour of skating on Thursday, December 9th from 6:00 to 7:30. So take advantage and schedule a private lesson or get some good practice in. Spread the word and let’s make good use out of this extra half hour.
Reminder
Do you have trouble holding a check position after a jump or a three turn? Do you need more bend of the knee to make your stroking look like Sasha Cohen? Do you need to build more ankle and core strength? Do you want to maintain or lose weight before those terrible holidays set in. If you have answered “yes” to any of these questions……it’s time to sign up for Linda Loker’s Off Ice Class. You can come to all or come to some. No skater should get on the ice without some type of warm-up or strength building program. Ask any accomplished skater and they will tell you they have specific warm-ups they do before getting on the ice. So let’s improve our skills and stamina. Once you see and perform many of the exercises, you can build your own individualized warm-up.
