I LOVE ICE SKATING
And here's why you should too!
Ice skating is a popular winter sport using metal-bladed ice skate boots. In winter, it can be performed on naturally frozen bodies of water such as ponds, lakes or even rivers. However, most large cities offer indoor facilities where you can ice skate all year round. It is not only a great fun, but also an amazing exercise that offers a number of key health and fitness benefits. If you don't jump or spin, it is a low impact cardio activity that suits all ages and many conditions. Among others, regular ice skating can improve or positively contribute towards your:
- ❄️ balance
- ❄️ joint flexibility
- ❄️ muscle mass
- ❄️ motor coordination
- ❄️ spatial awareness
- ❄️ cardio health and endurance
- ❄️ mental health
- ❄️ weight management

Most public ice rinks offer skate hire and other equipment such as
skating aid for children. Some facilities also provide in-house training
and an array of classes ranging from complete beginners to advanced
skaters.
