Hey Guys, Jeff Lovecchio here owner of RIPT
Hockey Training and I'm Derek from Total Hockey.
Today we're in the gym showing you a couple
exercises to work on your stride explosiveness.
First up is a squat jump.
You're gonna get down in a low squat using
your arms, jumping up, throwing them in the
air.
Landing soft.
Most important about this is to land soft
and be as explosive as you can.
This is it from the side.
Notice how his knees are not going before
his toes.
That is very important Each jump has to be
as explosive as possible.
Limit it to six to eight.
Up next, this one is a little more difficult.
This is called the split squat jump.
Same idea.
Make sure you're landing softly, your chest
is up.
Your core is tight.
We're gonna be in a lunge position.
From here we're going to jump up in the air,
switch legs while we're in the air, land,
come back down explosively up.
Here we'll show it to you from the side also.
As you can see his chest is up, core is tight.
Every jump is as explosive as the last.
If you start slowing down I want you to rest.
These must be done explosively.
The last exercise we have for you is the 45°
angle skater jump.
This is the most difficult.
we're going to be landing and jumping on opposite
legs.
Remember, when you're doing this 45° angles
just like you would on the ice your chest
is up, your core is tight, and always remember:
land softly.
Derek demonstrate please.
Land and forward, land softly, forward.
His chest is up just like you would be on
the ice.
More powerful every stride.
I know I've mentioned it before but be sure
you are landing softly.
Protect your joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles
at all times.
Also to make each exercise harder, place your
hands on your hips so you take out the motion
from your arms.
We want feedback from you.
