Inspired by the results of our athletes, as well as famous television shows, many wanted to go on the ice. How to start skating correctly and with pleasure? What skates to buy, how to wear them to make it easier to skate? The basics of figure skating
It is easier for girls and women to master figure skating, because they are more inquisitive and more men strive to master something new. Also, women want to quickly learn how to stay beautifully on the ice in order to look more attractive and arouse admiration.
Choosing skates
The most important thing is that the boots must be rigid, and the blades must be screwed to them correctly. It is equally important to properly lace up the skates: tight - the lower part of the boot, then make a simple knot, then, starting from the hooks (that is, from the beginning of the rise of the foot), looser lacing. Then, on the one hand, the leg will hold well, and on the other, the ankle will be free so as not to hinder movement.
Where should a beginner start?
First of all, you should learn to walk on ice. Walking "herringbone" - the beginning of the beginning. Heels together, toes apart, and walk, raising our knees high. The arms can be extended forward. Both children and adults begin to learn the basics of figure skating with the "Christmas tree". And then you can master such exercises as "flashlights", "snakes", "sleigh", "scooter", sliding, braking, etc.
What to look for to look graceful on ice?
The main thing is to monitor your posture. The knees should not be tense, the back is straight, the chin is raised, and the arms are extended to the sides.
Figure skating training should take place only in the form of group or individual lessons, but in no case by hands or in pairs.
