Great training aids available exclusive to www.sk8strong.com! Limited time only!

Sk8Strong is happy to announce that we are making 2 great training products availble for a limited time only:the Perfect-A-Poise and the Extreme Stride. Read below for details.

The Perfect-A-Poise is a revolutionary resistance training tool that promotes better posture, coordination, and consistency of positions in skating. Designed by former world team member and ice dance and moves in the field specialist Mathew Gates, this training aid teaches skaters how to find their opposing lines of movement. Mathew found that these opposite lines of movement, drawn from shoulder to skate, are key to establishing proper skating positions and posture. Skaters will develop a foundational posture to incorporate into skating movements and positions, from jumps and spins to moves in the field and ice dance. the end result is a more integrated, consistent and fluid skating technique.

Perfect-A-Poise works for all levels of skaters; it's excellent for skaters just learning how to stroke properly, yet essential to skaters wanting better control into their triple jumps or during advanced footwork.

The shoulder strap, which is velvet lined for comfort, is strapped to a skaters shoulder. This is connected to a double resistance cord, which concludes at a smaller strap which is easily attached to the front of the boot of the opposite skate. A skater can use this training tool to perform stroking, crossovers, moves, foorwork, jump entries, landing positions, and more!

**Only available in the size for skaters 5'1 to 5'6 in height


The Extreme Stride is a revolutionary resistance training tool that will assist a skaters training both on and off the ice, working all of the hip muscles in the primary skating positions. Developed by Mathew Gates, a former world team member and specialist in ice dance and moves in the field, this training aid can be used on and off the ice to develop strength of the hip abductors, adductors, extensors, and flexors.

It consists of four velvet lined straps attached by resistance cords, with a center slidable ring to form an 'X' pattern. One strap attaches to the right skating boot and to the left leg below the knee, and the other attaches to the left skating boot and the right leg belwo the knee. A skater will be able to perform various exercises and skating positions such as stroking, edges, crossovers, and more to strengthen the hip musculature.
