Skate Conditioning

Skate Conditioning at the Carlston Ice Arena at the Lafayette Y focuses on building skating skills, endurance, speed, and power for both hockey players and figure skaters.

The class focuses on edges, quick turns, power pulls, lunges, squats, crossovers, and forward and backward drills.

It’s a great workout and a perfect way to improve your skating whether you are new to the sport or a veteran.
