Added 2022-08-26 17:02:27 +0000 UTC💎 THE SCORPION 💎 the scorpion is an advanced figure skating move that can be done in a spin, or gliding on the skater’s flat edge! this move requires a lot of back flexibility, so be sure to practice stretching your back every day continuously before fully attempting to complete a scorpion. it’s always a good idea to practice moves off the ice so you can get a hang of the move before trying on skates. you can practice by doing the yoga move, dancers pose. lift one leg behind you grasp your foot or ankle with the respective hand. lift your foot as far as it can go, and reach forward with the opposite hand. once you are very comfortable doing dancers pose, then you can attempt to attach your opposite hand to the rest of the pose. here are two back stretches that i would do every day to get my back flexible enough to complete a scorpion: 1. bridge start laying down on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. place your hands on the ground next to your ears with your fingers pointing towards your shoulders. push up so that your back is arched, and try to straighten your arms and legs, your body should look like a rainbow! hold for as long as you can, and then gently come down by slowing bending your arms and legs. 2. lay back try to find a ledge or table that is at least your hips height (figure skaters often use the hockey board for this stretch). with your feet together and parallel, hold onto the table or ledge and arch your back. push your hips forward and let your head hang back, going as far as you can go. it ‘s best to hold a stretch for at least 1 minute to increase flexibility, however please go at your own pace and listen to your body we never want to injure ourselves 🤗
