About Ice Skating

Ice skating provides a cardiovascular and lower body workout that burns approximately 258.8 calories per 30 minutes for a 155-pound person. The gliding motion strengthens the inner and outer thighs, glutes, and calves through sustained muscular engagement, while the balance demands challenge the core and ankle stabilisers.

Ice skating is a low-impact activity suitable for a wide range of ages. Regular skating improves balance, coordination, and lower body endurance. Figure skating and speed skating offer more intensive training options for those seeking greater challenge.
