TURN LIKE AN ATHLETE is a focused training block designed to help you build stronger, more controlled, and consistent turns.

We’re not chasing more turns by doing more turns.
We’re building the foundation that makes more turns inevitable.

What we’re training:

• Deep core strength (for control, not gripping)

• Scapular + upper body control (for clean placement and stability)

• Supporting leg strength (for a higher, more stable relevé)

• Lower body power + control (for push-off and deceleration)

• Full-body coordination

This is about turning like an athlete, not relying on momentum or luck.

Focus

• Increasing consecutive turns

• Improving consistency across attempts

• Building control from plié → relevé → finish

• Making your turns feel lighter, sharper, and repeatable

Weekly structure (flexible by design)

You’ll have 5 training days per week, but you do not need to do all five.

• Choose the days you want to prioritize (always feel free to ask in the community based on your goals)

• Other days build the strength + stability behind them

• Even 2–3 intentional days per week will move the needle
