Frequently Asked Questions

How do I improve my balance for uneven city streets?

Incorporate single-leg stability training off-skates to strengthen the stabilizer muscles in your ankles and hips, which helps you react quickly to road imperfections.

Why do my hips hurt after a long commute?

Hip fatigue often stems from weak glute medius muscles. Strengthening your lateral hip stabilizers will help keep your knees aligned and reduce strain on your hip joints.
