How to do Ice Skating:

• Step 1: Start standing on the ice. Push off with your right foot and glide forward with your left foot.
• Step 2: Now push off with your left foot as you bring your right foot down.
• Step 3: Continue this motion as you skate. You should bend over slightly at the waist, also your knees should be slightly bent.
• Step 4: Just as you would use your arms in a running motion, use your arms to skate.
• Step 5: To get going fast from a dead stop run a few steps forward before taking a glide step.
• Step 6: To skate backwards just do the skating motion in reverse.
• Step 7: If you need to stop quickly then you can use what is called the "hockey stop". You do this by turning sideways quickly and using the blades on your skates to stop.
• Step 8: When doing jumps you need to squat down before you jump and then push up off your calves to get as much air time as possible.
• Step 9: Land with your knees slightly bent. Skating really works your leg muscles and can be used to improve cardio as well.
