Fifteen Minutes Is Not Enough Time for Four Drills
And that is exactly why it works. Give the whole session to one thing - marching, or the duck walk, or plow stops - until the shape stops needing your attention. A movement installs itself by repetition, not by rotation.
Pick one thing and give it the whole fifteen minutes. Marching, or the duck walk, or plow stops. Not three of them in rotation — one, repeated until the shape stops needing your attention.
Rotation is what makes a routine feel productive without making you better. A movement installs itself by repetition, and four drills in a quarter of an hour give each of them a few minutes: enough to perform, never enough to install. Experienced skaters give a whole session to one move before touching the next, and that is the advice, not a slower version of it.
Come back tomorrow and pick the same thing again. You move on when it feels automatic, not when a timer says so. Fifteen minutes four times a week beats an hour on Sunday, and the session you will actually do beats the one you dread.
