http://www.HockeyTrainingPro.com Hockey strength and conditioning specialist Maria Mountain, MSc shares a simple hockey training exercise that skaters or goalies can do with just a piece of resistance band. You can find the article that goes along with this video here: http://hockeytrainingpro.com/wordpress/2013/08/eotw/ Why? I love this exercise for training the posterior chain - calves, hamstrings, glutes, erector spinae. It is also a nice dynamic balance exercise as you will see and feel when you try it. The posterior chain is what you use anytime you are pushing or striding on the ice so you can immediately see how this is an important functional unit to train. How Heavy? This is not meant to be a heavy exercise, use a medium resistance band and make sure that you can hold your tall finish position with good balance and good alignment. How Many Reps? Start with 2-3 sets of 6 on each leg, holding for 3 seconds at the top. Find more off-ice hockey training exercises at http://www.YouTube.com/RevolutionCondition
