Summer Off Season, Off Ice Training Part II

The last day of camp cumulated with an on ice visit by Sasha Cohen to each of the classes. A surprise visit by US Pairs Team members Inoue and Baldwin was a special added treat. Click here to see photos from this event : Dr. Miczak's Best Picks.

DO make plans to attend next year as it is a value packed weekend for skaters of all levels. The announcement for next year's camp and other training programs this summer will be posted at the Figure Skating Guide's Bulletin Board located on the homepage.

MUST HAVE OF THE MONTH: To compliment your summer off ice training activities such as jogging, inline skating and biking, you need the right support. I tested a new product called OxySox. Used by National Hockey League players, they are athletic graduated compression stockings which help the legs muscles return blood to the heart more effectively, thus increasing stamina and power.

They have been shown to increase aerobic capacity while lowering the heart rate. I also noticed that leg pain and fatigue were virtually eliminated even after biking several miles non-stop. The best part is that they are contoured enough to fit inside an inline skate or even ice skating boot. These will do a lot more for you than thin “panty hose” stockings or bare feet! Most certainly worth trying out. Visit their website online at: http://www.oxysox.com or call toll free, (866) 4-OXY-SOX.
