[QUOTE="anna29, post: 746923, member: 30936"] QUOTE="Andrew S, post: 746496, member: 52728"]I have been ice skating three times this year, thanks to a friend of mine who was keen to go. I find it gives me great joy, and am hoping to carry on with it on a regular basis. I may take some adult group lessons. Lucky living in London I have a choice of rinks, with at least a couple of the outdoor rinks staying open till the end of February. :)[/QUOTE] Its great - loved skating when was younger Wonderful sense of freedom and balance skills . Loved to skate backwards , twirl/spin and flat out speed skate when ice rink was empty or quiet . My dad noticed the link with my ballet and ice skating balance and posture . Enrolled me on lessons 3 times a week at Blackpool Ice rink . Ballet was once weekly . Wonderful memories for me to reflect upon . I really encourage and recommend all who wish to give it a go or whirl certainly to give it a try :) Tips - always wear thicker socks , pants , gloves . Boots can rub ankle area's , ice 'can' hurt on bum in thin layer pants, gloves protect hands/fingers from ice/skater blades . [/QUOTE]
