3 Exercises for First Step Speed

First step quickness can be the difference between winning and losing -- a race to the puck, a breakaway, a back-check, etc.

These are the 3 exercises that will help you get the jump on your opponent every time!

Pogo Hops -- Quick reactive bounces that focus on limiting time on the ground between hops while improving ankle and knee strength, stability, and mobility

Single Leg Broad Jumps -- Unilateral exercise for correcting imbalances but also allows focus on developing each leg's balance, coordination, and explosiveness

Landmine Skater Lunges -- A strength focused exercise that improves the muscles along the inside and outside of the legs for more well-rounded growth and power

Add 2-3 sets of each exercise to your lower or full body workouts 1-2 times per week and watch your first step skyrocket off the line!
