Developed by a physical therapist and off-ice specialist, The Off-Ice Edge represents the latest training aid introduced to the figure skating community. The Off-Ice Edge platform is designed to be used with your skate on and will give you the exact sensation of being in any of the eight edge combinations! While working on this device either at home or at the rink, you will be able to target the specific muscles and resources for balance that are needed to perfect techniques such as glides, check-outs, spirals or moves in the field. You will also be able to specifically strengthen the leg and pelvic musculature for edge jump entries.
The Off-Ice Edge can also be used by your coach during an on ice lesson for position correction on the perimeter of the rink. You can then take the Off-Ice Edge home with you after your lesson and perfect exactly what your coach is trying to achieve with you. Because the Off Ice Edge incorporates many principles of ballet, your alignment and core will be addressed specifically for each edge technique. The Off-Ice Edge comes with two ballet-type stability poles and a comprehensive DVD tutorial designed to take you through the most basic balance/alignment exercises to the most advanced edge exercises such as training your muscles for various jump entries including the axel, loop, lutz or flip.
