- 1). Start in one of the corners of the rink, near where the goal line meets the boards.
- 2). Skate around the five face-off circles on the ice. Start going counter-clockwise around the nearest circle. This maneuver should cross your feet, while pushing you forward around the circle.
- 3). Cross the outside skate over the inside skate when you skate around the circle.
- 4). Switch your weight and push off with the inside foot.
- 5). Bring the inside foot back to the front of the outside foot. This maneuver should recover your feet to normal position, while advancing you around the circle.
- 6). Continue crossing over with each stride as you go around the circle.
- 7). Switch to the next circle in your end of the rink after you have completed one circuit around the first circle. Skate clockwise around the second circle. This will change which foot is your outside foot.
- 8). Skate around each of the five circles, switching direction each time you change to a new circle.
- 9). Go back and do all of the circles again, after you have finished all five circles, arriving in the opposite corner from your starting point. This will make a total of 10 circles, five for each foot.
