That's a great video ! I didn't know about the spiderman push-ups and the banana thing .... It's a great new workout for me ! Though, you need some stretching - (I don't know if you do it separate but we do it together ....) But it's a MUST !!

Is this just for figure skating or can I use it for hockey?

actually, all these can be improved by either taking various advance or intense dance classes or for the pylometrics, go outdooring! there's plenty of places in the lower mainland for these adventure.
