EDITOR’S LETTER
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO FIGURE SKATER FITNESS! PUBLISHER/EDITOR-IN-CHIEF Signe Ronka EDITORIAL DIRECTOR Adriana Ermter CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER & OPERATIONS Angela Ronka CONTRIBUTORS Christian Bonin Rebekah Dixon Dr. Justin Kilian Patti Larkin Ashley Leone Sarah Lindsay Mallory MacDonald Dr. Sheilagh Maguiness David Merson Ally F. Walsh
EDITOR’S NOTE Welcome to Off-Season training time! It’s time to start picking up the pace with strength & conditioning training. Off-season is the best time to do cardio training, resistance training with heavier load and intensity. It is the time of year when skaters really need to think about what areas need most focus in order to prevent injuries in-season. Our fitness section is packed with amazing exercises for leg strength and core conditioning exercises. I was particularly excited about this issue because we had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Alissa Czisny, one of my former competitors in the JGP circuit.. Her down to earth personality and kind hearted nature is what really stood out for me, when hanging out at the photoshoot together. Make sure you read her story and how to overcome obstacles. I hope you enjoy our off-season issue! Let’s start resetting next seasons goals, getting into summer mode and having some fun in the sun!
Cheers!
