How can i make my skating faster?

Question

i've been a figure skater for 10 years and i can skate pretty fast, but what will help me skate even faster?

Answer 1

you can achieve more speed if you gonna do some agility drills, like any athletes you have to improve your physical and muscular endurance. by doing sprints, long runs and weights training. ask your personal coach about it.or look in the web sites for some exercises.

Answer 2

Try wearing tighter clothes and when you really need speed try crouching down and putting your hair up helps too.this web site should also help.

Answer 3

See if your rink or another rink near where you live has a power class.  They're more likely to have one in the summer, so if you're interested, go look now.

Answer 4

I have paramount blades and they are soooo much lighter so they help in every aspect of your skating. Also just give more knee bend and push on the ball of your foot. But you've been skating much longer than I have. You know basics =D

Answer 5

make sure to sharpen your skates frequently. REALLY helps.

Answer 6

bend you'r knees or go down a really steep hill

Answer 7

Really, practice. No matter how many times people tell you, practicing really helps. Try bending your knees more and practice doing front and backwards crossovers, front and back rolls and progressives if you can. Good luck.

Answer 8

for warm-up do tons of front and back crossorvers, 2 or three circles of stroking as fast as you can, and just get whatever speed you can into every jump and spin.
