A good technique

The technique of each movement is key if we want to make the most of it without putting at risk of injuries to our body, therefore, we remember the following points to consider to make a perfect jump of the skater :

• The knees should always be flexed while performing the exercise, because only in this way the quadriceps work intensely and we can dampen the jump correctly.
• The arms must accompany the movement of the legs, therefore, we must execute a brace with one hand up and forward on the sides of the body and when it goes down is done with the opposite arm.
• The back should be straight during exercise, but the trunk should be tilted slightly forward to get a good job of the lower train.

With these tips in mind you will achieve a good technique when making the jump of the skater and you will get greater benefits of the movement.
