Daily Training Tip #444

The Multi-Hip Machine is an often overlooked piece of training equipment. When used properly, the multi-hip machine (or 4-way hip) can help you seperate yourself from the pack. It works you hip flexors, hip extendors, hip adductors and hip abductors. All four (4) muscles are very crucial to your skating stride. If they aren't developed enough, you will not be the skater you aspire to be and you will be more prone to injury.


If you don't have a multi-hip machine you can do one of two things. 1) attend MHC! 2) mimick those movements with the help of a rubber band or rubber tubing.
