- Hello Skaters! Today I thought I would share with you how I break down my practice sessions, to make sure I am getting a proper warm up, jumping while I have the maximum energy, and making efficient use of my time out on the ice. It is important to try and use you ice time well, so having a plan before you step out, of what you want to work on, and how much time you want to spend on each thing, will help you to achieve the results you are looking for.
Here are a few warm up vides, and tutorials you might enjoy!

Thanks Coach Julia. I've had coaches for a few different sports and it always frustrated me that they never talked to me about how to practice. Even when I asked them, they always seemed vague. This a great video and I'm sure it's one I'll come back to.
I am so glad you found it helpful!!
This is great, but it would be helpful to have a routine for a beginner/ intermediate, I am learning backwards crossovers....lets hope i get them right at tonights session
When you’re at a beginner level, you don’t have as many options to choose from as she goes through here. You can still follow a similar structure. Start with stretching, stroking, edges on a circle, beginning Mohawks, etc. then you can work up to the stuff that’s the most challenging or physically demanding for you (say, backwards crossovers). Finish by working on your two foot or one foot spin. You could also take the Learn to skate skill booklet with you to practice (or find it online) and go through the skill list in order.
@@neuroscienxe9266 I love the idea of taking the learn to skate Notebook. Refresh on the skill or improve on them.
Thanks @neuroscienxe for the great answer! Yes this same routine should be followed no matter your level. You will just adjust it to your skill set. So, a warm up, followed by your 'Moves' (forward edges, 3 turns or 2 foot turns, crossovers, whatever footwork type skills you are working on.) followed by whatever jumps you are working on, then spins, then gliding maneuvers. I can't make videos for each individual level, as that would get extremely convoluted. So I tell you a framework suggestions on how to make it fit within your skillset.
Thank you for always providing us with such great content! It’s nice to see your routine and I am pleased my on/off ice warm up and progression is very similar to yours- minus the axel jumps . I’ve shared your channel with my adult skating group here in Washington🌲 state! 🥰🥳💯⛸ Our adult group is very diverse and we all try to skate 2-3x a week, takes classes, have coaches, test , participate in our skating club, skate in a synchro groups, and ice ice shows. One of the fun things many skaters know, is how close you get and how fun having a skating family is! We have social get togethers for dinners , hockey games, and Stars on Ice, etc, when we can, given COVID. Just wanted you to know how much your tutorials mean to us adult skaters💐👏🏽💕
This is super helpful! I put my jumps at the end because they’re kind of scary but at that point I’m dead tired and it only makes them scarier!! Ill make sure to try your method or organization this week. Thanks so much for the video!!!!
Thanks! This is the video I've been looking for without realizing I needed it!
Glad I could help!
What a great idea. Usually my coach asks what do I want to do and thought she woukd have it for me (since I am learning), but now that I have a little more idea what my goal is (first move test in March) I know what I need to practice. My coach said to have a notebook or journal to record my progress (I was feeling discouraged), I xan also use to plan my practice time, which is really short.
I love when my students bring a notebook, I always encourage them to do that so I am glad to hear your coach is saying the same. Good Luck with your first test, how exiting!!
@@CoachJulia thank you ❤
So lucky that I run into Coach Julia's channel. Thank you so much for your super helpful explanation on the details. Every episode is done marvelously💯❤
Thank you so much and welcome to my channel!
Thank you, Julia ❤️ Greetings from Poland 🤗
This is incredibly helpful! Thank you so much!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you soo soo much this really helps!!❤❤
I’m so glad to hear that!
It was great seeing all these elements together in one video =D
I am glad you enjoyed it!
After 3 months of private lessons =)
There are so many elements to practice that I feel lost sometimes! Other times I am just practicing whatever comes to mind!
Now, I noted all the elements I have been taught, and I am going to make a list prior to each session, of all the skills I plan to practice in order!
Thanks for the video, now I have a better idea of how to sequence my ice time
Sounds like you have found a good plan to stay organized! I really think keeping track of the skills you are working on, and having a plan for your session really helps you get so much more out of your ice time.
By watching your videos I started figure skating in September, I'm starting to move to my first salchow. Your videos are so amazing
Already the salchow?! You are faster then I am. I started back in June. And I agree, I love Julia's video.
That is awesome!
@@lilianmatheson3664 When I'm on the ice it's just the most amazing feeling I've ever felt so I try to skate as much as I can. I'm only 19 and I want to learn everything I can. My goal is to start doing competition, maybe 2022 is the year ☺
@@MathisGamme so cool! Yes, that is the best when you can practice. I love being on the ice too (it is like flying). You definitely should compete. I will need more time, I am 43 young 😁, and it takes me longer to learn. So take advantage now that your body can do more.
I didn’t knew I need this x2
I am glad you enjoyed the video!
Hey, Coach Julia, this is what I needed, because I have no coach here and I'm skating quite alone. Really, on Sunday I was a little frustrated what do I do on my skating sessions to get them more organized and get some progress out of them I've started to do US MITF moves for myself and that Christmas routine is so good to practice more. Nice skatings to you
This is amazing
I love your tutorials and informative videos 😍💘 can u please make a vid explaining how to do a loop (foot work) 🙏
Great suggestion! I will put it on my list!
Thank you for ALL your videos! Simply amazing! I am learning a few turns and jumps, but being pretty new to ice skating, I don’t know in what order of difficulty I should start and progress. In some videos, you clearly state that certain skills should only be attempted if you are already proficient in a certain turn/stop/jump, BUT if I were to take classes what order of skills is best, please? Thank you 👍🏼
I have just about uploaded these lessons in order of how you should learn them. So if you got to my videos and organize them in order of upload date, you can follow along in general order of difficulty.
You could make a pdf document with all the move to do in a practice session, because we all forget it once we are on ice.
Great vid! I didnt know I needed that! (1c)
I am so glad you found this helpful!!
@@CoachJulia literally helped me with tulup and salchow practice today! Im after a little injury so this helps a lot.
Thank you for this video. I started doing this à few moths ago. Oddly enough, I didn't bring a notebook... but I'd watch your videos and record myself during my practice. BTW, your makeup looks amazing 👏🏾
Awe, thanks!
Every time I watch one of your videos, it convinces me more and more to move to California so I can skate full time lol 😂
Yes! It is amazing to be able to skate every day of the year. I know I am fortunate.
Thank you for this information! How many times do you do each jump in practice?
Just incase she responds, I want to be notified 👀👀
If my jumps are clean, I will usually do 5 and then move on to the next one, that way I keep the skill fresh but can focus on more challenging skills. If I am noticing any weirdness, I will pause at that jump to figure out what my technique problem is, so will probably do many more before I move on.
I just took my first figure skating lesson yesterday! Coach showed me 7 skills? Obviously the road is long for basic skills but I’m hoping your videos would help me
Congratulations on your first lesson!!!
@@CoachJulia thanks a lot!
All I know today, it’s because of Julia 🏳 And, I follow her instructions ’cause Julia is my first step on my Synthetic rink that I’ve reproductind on The ice Rink .
During the first pantomime named Covid, I’ve just following the absolute beginner ’til now .
I will send to Julia her power through screens.
I’m sorry for my English mistakes.
Would be wonderful to know your off ice training? Do you have a certain days you do ballet, strength training etc? And how many days a week do you skate? (Your a coach of course but what is recommended for students?) Realistically.
I usually do spins before jumps to get that smooth ice before it gets more scratched up at the latter half of the session! I also am trying to do 5 min of cool-down at the end, which is a continuation of my edges/footwork.
Can you clarify what you mean by “power” exercises?
exercises to build agility and stanima, like power pulls
Thank you. Just re-watched this and have another question... for someone who skates almost everyday... could I really be jumping 20-30mins a day?
It depends on how long your skate session is, but yes, you could be! If you are focusing on improving technique or speed or height and not just giving them a one time pass though, it is easy to spend 20-30 minutes on one area of skating.
@@CoachJulia sorry I meant... if I skate every day... I skate 5 to 7 times per week currently... is it ok to jump 5 to 7 times a week? I am currently doing 10 to 20 mins 3 times a week on jumps.
you're like lana del rey on ice
Awe, thanks!
Coach Julia, how tall are you
How many times in a week do you practice?
Just incase she responds, I want to be notified 👀✨
@@Ana.is.sad.100 same
@@unloyalengene5977 same
That has really changed over the years. When I was in my teens, I practiced 3 hours a day, 5 days a week. But now, as a 40 year old coach who is on the ice 6+ hours a day already, I try to get out there for my own practice 3 times a week for about an hour and a half. If I am working towards a specific goal, (test, competition, show) I will probably be out there 4 times a week, maybe 2 hours at time. It adds up to so many ice hours for me with coaching though that I don't often get as much practice as I would like.
@@CoachJulia can you tell us about your achievements in figure skating ? Im curious
