How to Do
How to Do Ice Skaters With Stabilization
Ice skaters with stabilization should begin with good posture to avoid injury. Brace the spine by drawing your lower abdomen inward. Your core muscles should be activated to support your posture as you perform the exercise.
If any pain is experienced, immediately stop the ice skaters with stabilization.

Ice Skaters Exercise Movement
1. Begin with your legs slightly wider than shoulder width apart and your arms at your sides.
2. In a reverse lunge, bring one leg behind you at a slight angle. The front knee should be at a 90-degree angle.
3. Swing your arms in front of your bent knee and leap forward with your back leg to switch sides in a skating motion. As if you were a speed skater, alternate your arms as you switch sides.
Benefits
Ice Skaters Exercise Benefits
Skating engages nearly every muscle group in the body, and gliding necessitates synchronized leg movement, which is beneficial to joint flexibility. It also strengthens the leg and abdominal muscles. Skating, like any other workout, is beneficial to cardiovascular health because it gets the blood pumping and the heart rate up.
