Video Transcript

"Well we finished with all the joints. We can start stretching. So, we could do the stretching on the spot and sit down on the ice, but we prefer to do it while skating. So, we can also use the stick for the stretchings and it's very good because we can skate at the same time. So, let's start with the shoulder and the arm. Just keep the arm stretched and try to pull it slowly backwards. After slow; after pull your both arms to both arms to one side. You're arm have to be stretched to the other side. We have to; we have to stretch the, all the muscles over the shoulder. It's also very important to avoid injuries. So, now we can; we can stretch the muscle of the arm. So, start with the right arm.
