Ice skating isn't a year-round sport for many people, but few winter activities seem to go better with the colder weather. Even so, putting on skates might be scary if you don't know what you're doing, especially if you're an adult. Gaining new abilities to improve your off-ice fitness, on-ice form, and general mentality can help you enjoy the thrill of sliding across frozen surfaces and keep you in shape for other activities if you feel more unsteady than graceful.
