HOW TO DO A SKATING SPIRAL || OFF-ICE TRAINING | Coach Michelle Hong

Welcome to Day 18 of the #stretchwithmichelle series. The focus of this week is hamstring mobility! Check out my Instagram for the official Stretch With Me Calendar: / b9mufj0pudw
Today is all about the spiral spin position. Have you ever wondered how the professional skaters get their leg up so high on their spirals? Well, I will be sharing all my secret exercises and stretches that will guide you to accomplish an elegant spiral on the ice. Let me know in the comment section below what your favorite exercise is from today's "Stretch With Me!" session.
LET'S GET FLEXIBLE!
Friendly Reminder: Please remember to warm up before ever stretch session. You can refer back to this pre-stretch video for reference: • Best Off-Ice Warm Up t... ! Also, be mindful of your body. You need to be patient with yourself throughout your stretching journey. You will gain flexibility with consistency so do not try to race to finish line.
Skating Love,
Coach Michelle

@@bannahaker Mornings, and sometimes night but don’t stretch too much - don’t wanna pull anything! 😌👌✨

[@danashamsi5411]

I cannot thank you enough after doing this only once my spiral was so much higher and I even got my splits and I can even oversplit! Tank you so much I’m doing this again hopefully I can do it every day

[@stefaniaponitz5738]

Thank you so much for your extensive stretching series. I think I've done this one and the camel spin maybe 3-5 times and I already saw results while roller skating being able to do more movements and do them better. Yeah!! I really didn't expect to see results this quickly! These stretches made my feet burn, just the energy flowing through them, it feels so good!! Thanks again!

Being an adult skater find I am so stiff. This is very challenging thank you.

[@leighcarbone8046]

This is not for beginners at all. It's not you.

[@Natalie-pz7rd]

This is great! I’m planning to go through like every single stretch because they help so much. I literally did this spiral one once and it surprisingly helped my camel spin a bit but mostly improved my spiral. It’s so effective in so little time, it’s perfect! Keep up the good videos!

[@Legend_Gamer-222]

My spiral has gotten so much higher ever since I watched this!❤

[@abigailvoelkel3788]

omg i am currently dying on the floor and it’s only 5 minutes into to the video LOL 😭

[@christelwesterhuis5563]

OMG the same for me. I took a break and do the childpose 😅

[@MissWhatleigh]

Love this, thank you. I have done this a few times so far, hoping to see some increase in flexibility soon, and of course prettier spiral position. I miss skating so much!!!

Any tips on getting my hip more turned out? On the ice I always seem to have my toes pointed slightly down

[@lucyluna3567]

Hi!How much time do you have to train to achieve this effect?

[@noa-ix9pe]

I hate to do stuff on my knees so I always do those exercises you show at the beginning as downward dog variation with a single leg (if that makes sense) or in a standing arabesque position and I kinda can't tell if it works the same muscle groups as if I would be on the ground kneeling, could anybody tell me if it does? I want it to be as effective as possible but I don't want to risk hurting my knees to try it for like a month or so to see if I would progress faster that way😅

Hey do squats help with spirals?

[@-lisshi-]

If I do a spiral I fall down

[@mckakaykm]

your workouts are very good and challenging. i'm a freshman and been skating for years and this series has helped me become more flexible, and after a month of doing one of these everyday (of the series) i find i have more stamina
