Flabuless Mama
Postpartum Mama trying to conceive
Any other adult figure skaters out there?
I started figure skating last fall and took lessons up until March when I could no longer afford it, though I still go and practice (though not as often as I should).
Anyway, I passed Alpha and Beta but am still working on Gamma (as I am having trouble with my 3-turns). My ultimate goal is to pass Free Style 2, (possibly Free Style 3 if whoever is my coach thinks I can continue). After never stretching in my life (and unable to touch my toes), I am now obsessed with stretching as I want to learn the spiral and the spread eagle. *sigh* I have finally gotten the lunge down after months of practicing and am really happy with that.
I am 15 pounds over the MAX recommended weight for figure skaters as you do not want more than 135 pounds coming down on your knee if/when you fall. Not that I know any jumps other than the waltz jump and I don't really get any height on that one yet anyway.
