Lauren Downes’ (physical therapist, figure skating coach) company Sk8Strong Inc. has created four different strength and conditioning DVDs for figure skaters of all levels. Initially designed for figure skaters, these sport specific programs can have the same benefit for artistic roller skaters of any level (as the demands of the sports are the same). The training programs are beneficial to all levels of artistic roller skaters, and you can find out more information at www.sk8strong.com.
