How to Run Over Ice or Packed Snow

The following points should keep your butt off the ground this winter!

Be mindful out there and follow these tips.

1) Face Forward

2) Land Flat Footed

3) Small Steps

4) Don’t push off

5) Slow Down.

6) Be more mindful

How to Fall

1) Try to recover – If you can prevent the fall, try to recatch your balance and stay upright.

2) If you’re not on terribly rocky, rolling through the fall is almost always preferable to catching yourself with your hands. The reason for this is that throwing your hands out in front of you is a great way to injury your wrists. Tuck your head and roll.

3) Get right back up. Shake it off.

4) Ask an martial artist to show you how to fall, and this is something that can even be practiced and demonstrated. Going through this routine so you are able to not think but act on it in the moment could be the difference between a scuffed shoulder or a broken wrist.
