I lost soo much weight from ice skating, so if your looking for weight lose, this is the key! I also became stronger in the arms, but mostly the legs. I learned how to perform in front of an audience and I gained sooo much confidence! I love figure skating so much....I have benefited so much from it!

Skating is a great total body workout because you're dealing with stabilizing your body while at the same time working major muscle groups to power youself through skills.
With time, toning of the buttocks, legs, arms, and core should be visible.

You are able to burn calories, keep yourself healthy, you become stronger, learn better balance, and posture, you keep in shape, you learn to eat a healthy balanced diet so you have the energy and stamina to keep skating, and many other benefits.
