Coach Mary Skating

Adult figure skaters ✨ A simple stretching routine 2–3 days per week is enough to make progress.

Save these stretch tips 👀
✅ Stretch until you feel gentle tightness, not pain
✅ Hold each stretch for 10–30 seconds (or 30–60 seconds if you’re an older adult)
✅ Repeat each stretch 2–4 times
✅ Aim for about 60 seconds of total stretch time per muscle group

The biggest mistake? Expecting overnight results. Lasting improvements in range of motion usually show up after 4 weeks of consistent practice.
