Adult (40) Figure Skating Journey - 4 Month Progress
This vlog is to document my journey learning how to figure skate at 40-years-old with no previous experience!
I started LTS Adult 3 in mid-July! In early July, I continued working on skills from Level 2. I’m still having lots of trouble balancing on my right foot, and I think it might be pronation issues. I’m going to try out some insoles and ankle exercises to see if it makes a difference.

Awesome Jen! ❤️ Keep going on 👍 You are so inspiring! I'm on pretty same way as you and so many others. We are a huge party ⛸️😉 I returned to skating on mid November 2022 at the age of 38. After 20 years long pause. I decided to learn from the beginning and properly and learn to figure skate. I'm self taught, there are no lessons with coaches where I live. KZread is my coach. As left handed, all moves on right leg are a huge challenge for me too 😂 Although when jumping, I prefer to rotate counter-clockwise than clockwise (I should have it exactly opposite), but I'm still trying both sides as much as I can. Spins are another challenge for me 😆 I feel dizziness very soon. The "worst" is, that I feel and know, that I have physical power to make strong big high etc. moves, but my body has to build its moving routine first. But I believe, that although slower, a time will come and we all will amaze the "world" 😉 The main thing is, that this makes us happy and we can spread this happines around us. I'd like to wish you all the best and send you greetings from the Czech Republic 😃

Thanks! I love that you're returning to the ice after so long, and patiently re-learning it again! 🤩 It sounds like your body still has the muscle memory though! Progress is definitely slower for us adult skaters, but I still enjoy the challenge!
I am watching from Germany. I started skating with 45. it looked the same and it was a lot of fun work with private lessions. These really pushed me forward. First i tried to teach myself with KZread Videos but on a certain point you are stopp learning the right things. I also practise ein Summer with rollerblades. That helps a lot as well. One year later i can see and feel the Prozess. I am switching directions on one leg, i am Spinning, doing some easy jumps and have a lot of Fun. So thanks for Sharing and i Wish you the best! Go for it 🎉

Thanks! Your progress sounds amazing, and I hope I can be doing all those things too next year! 🤩 I haven't rollerbladed (or rollerskated) since I was a teenager, but that's something I have to try again in the summer too!
Awesome
