How much strength training do you/your kids do at the gym? I'm asking just to get a feel of how much my gym does. We do 30 minutes per practice, 3 days a week. That comes out to 1 hr 30 min a week, which is 1/8 of our total practice time. This is for level 4's and 5's.
Sometimes it seems like all we focus on is strength. I know it's really important, but sometimes I get caught up in "Oh, I didn't do as many pull-ups as I usually can...I'm not getting stronger...-panic-."
Also, I'm not ripped. D: I have very huge/defined leg muscles, also due to ice skating, but even though I'm 2nd strongest out of all of our level 4's and 5's, I barely have any ab definition. It's true that stomach strength is not my strong point, but I do have enough to keep up to level standards and such.
