Thanks Coach Julia. I've had coaches for a few different sports and it always frustrated me that they never talked to me about how to practice. Even when I asked them, they always seemed vague. This a great video and I'm sure it's one I'll come back to.

I am so glad you found it helpful!!

Thank you for always providing us with such great content! It’s nice to see your routine and I am pleased my on/off ice warm up and progression is very similar to yours- minus the axel jumps . I’ve shared your channel with my adult skating group here in Washington🌲 state! 🥰🥳💯⛸ Our adult group is very diverse and we all try to skate 2-3x a week, takes classes, have coaches, test , participate in our skating club, skate in a synchro groups, and ice ice shows. One of the fun things many skaters know, is how close you get and how fun having a skating family is! We have social get togethers for dinners , hockey games, and Stars on Ice, etc, when we can, given COVID. Just wanted you to know how much your tutorials mean to us adult skaters💐👏🏽💕

This is great, but it would be helpful to have a routine for a beginner/ intermediate, I am learning backwards crossovers....lets hope i get them right at tonights session

When you’re at a beginner level, you don’t have as many options to choose from as she goes through here. You can still follow a similar structure. Start with stretching, stroking, edges on a circle, beginning Mohawks, etc. then you can work up to the stuff that’s the most challenging or physically demanding for you (say, backwards crossovers). Finish by working on your two foot or one foot spin. You could also take the Learn to skate skill booklet with you to practice (or find it online) and go through the skill list in order.

Thanks @neuroscienxe for the great answer! Yes this same routine should be followed no matter your level. You will just adjust it to your skill set. So, a warm up, followed by your 'Moves' (forward edges, 3 turns or 2 foot turns, crossovers, whatever footwork type skills you are working on.) followed by whatever jumps you are working on, then spins, then gliding maneuvers. I can't make videos for each individual level, as that would get extremely convoluted. So I tell you a framework suggestions on how to make it fit within your skillset.

This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!!!

After 3 months of private lessons =) There are so many elements to practice that I feel lost sometimes! Other times I am just practicing whatever comes to mind! Now, I noted all the elements I have been taught, and I am going to make a list prior to each session, of all the skills I plan to practice in order! Thanks for the video, now I have a better idea of how to sequence my ice time

@CoachJulia

Sounds like you have found a good plan to stay organized! I really think keeping track of the skills you are working on, and having a plan for your session really helps you get so much more out of your ice time.

What a great idea. Usually my coach asks what do I want to do and thought she woukd have it for me (since I am learning), but now that I have a little more idea what my goal is (first move test in March) I know what I need to practice. My coach said to have a notebook or journal to record my progress (I was feeling discouraged), I xan also use to plan my practice time, which is really short.

Hey, Coach Julia, this is what I needed, because I have no coach here and I'm skating quite alone. Really, on Sunday I was a little frustrated what do I do on my skating sessions to get them more organized and get some progress out of them I've started to do US MITF moves for myself and that Christmas routine is so good to practice more. Nice skatings to you

You could make a pdf document with all the move to do in a practice session, because we all forget it once we are on ice.

Thank you for ALL your videos! Simply amazing! I am learning a few turns and jumps, but being pretty new to ice skating, I don’t know in what order of difficulty I should start and progress. In some videos, you clearly state that certain skills should only be attempted if you are already proficient in a certain turn/stop/jump, BUT if I were to take classes what order of skills is best, please? Thank you 👍🏼

Yes! It is amazing to be able to skate every day of the year. I know I am fortunate.

Would be wonderful to know your off ice training? Do you have a certain days you do ballet, strength training etc? And how many days a week do you skate? (Your a coach of course but what is recommended for students?) Realistically.

All I know today, it’s because of Julia 🏳 And, I follow her instructions ’cause Julia is my first step on my Synthetic rink that I’ve reproductind on The ice Rink . During the first pantomime named Covid, I’ve just following the absolute beginner ’til now . I will send to Julia her power through screens. I’m sorry for my English mistakes.

Thank you for this information! How many times do you do each jump in practice?

If my jumps are clean, I will usually do 5 and then move on to the next one, that way I keep the skill fresh but can focus on more challenging skills. If I am noticing any weirdness, I will pause at that jump to figure out what my technique problem is, so will probably do many more before I move on.

I usually do spins before jumps to get that smooth ice before it gets more scratched up at the latter half of the session! I also am trying to do 5 min of cool-down at the end, which is a continuation of my edges/footwork. Can you clarify what you mean by “power” exercises?

It depends on how long your skate session is, but yes, you could be! If you are focusing on improving technique or speed or height and not just giving them a one time pass though, it is easy to spend 20-30 minutes on one area of skating.

That has really changed over the years. When I was in my teens, I practiced 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. But now, as a 40 year old coach who is on the ice 6+ hours a day already, I try to get out there for my own practice 3 times a week for about an hour and a half. If I am working towards a specific goal, (test, competition, show) I will probably be out there 4 times a week, maybe 2 hours at time. It adds up to so many ice hours for me with coaching though that I don't often get as much practice as I would like.
