SkateWeights™will help tone, condition and strengthen your legs. The stainless steel SkateWeights™ clamp securely to the plastic blade support of a hockey skate, providing a one pound, low gravity weight. This revolutionary design secures a tight fit on all major brands - it is easy to take off and put on. This is an ideal training tool for young and old, amateur and professional. "SkateWeights™ are an innovative improvement." Peter Twist-Strength & Conditioning Coach, Vancouver Canucks, Journal of Hockey Conditioning and Player Development

Using SkateWeights™ is a simple idea. If a skater's foot goes up and down 300 times, they have just picked up 300 pounds more than before. The idea is simple but the weight is REAL. The use of SkateWeights™ should start with (10)ten to (15)fifteen minutes twice a week. This will begin toning and conditioning of legs. Leg strength and foot speed will come with continued and extended use, as will the endurance factor of every skater. Good for hockey, ringette and recreational skating.

SkateWeights™ are specifically designed for overload skating. When used in a consistent training program they help a skater to realize improved anaerobic conditioning. This helps the skater to improve stride length, stride power, explosive strength, strength endurance, agility and dynamic balance. SkateWeights™ are one pound each, universal fit on hockey skates, made of stainless steel, easy on-off!

Kevin also played professionally for 14 years in the NHL, IHL and European Elite League. This is what Kevin has to say about Skate Weights™:

I have my clients wear skate weights for the first 30 minutes of all my on-ice training sessions. Due to their great design and proper weighting, players enjoy the experience of wearing them. The weights create an overload in the specific skating muscles which is very important. After 30 minutes we remove the weights( this is done in a matter of a minute due to the great attachment mechanism). Once the weights are off the players feel like they have "light feet" which tricks the nervous system into allowing the player to move his/her feet faster then before. I find this is a great way to improve first-step quickness which is the most important aspect in hockey. Through the use of Mr.Assist's innovative products along with our Strength and Conditioning programs remarkable gains in speed and power have been achieved. I highly recommend this product to anyone looking to improve their speed and quickness.
