kovalchuk71 212 Report post Posted February 13, 2006 What exercises can I do to improve my overall skating quickness and speed? Off ice. Like what plyos will be good? How long until i should see an improvement and how often should I do these exercises? If I start now will I notice an improvement within 4 weeks?Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Try wider stance squats and seated calf raises. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
