Tips On How to Balance On Ice Skates Next Trip to the Rink! FOR BEGINNERS

Hello it's Lily Z again today I will be posting on tips to balance on skates to decrease your falls! I hope this paper helps you. So..... lets get gliding.
1. What many people do wrong when they skate is there arms. Arms is major thing in order to skate properly and successfully. Plenty of people wiggle there arms all over the place like tornadoes and trust me that throws you off balance and can cause you to get all twisted up. because as soon as an arm starts acting tornado your feet follow and you body goes every which way causing you to do one of those awful falls because when you skate your arms lead the direction and control. So when you skate try to keep your arms out and your flat at least as a beginner. Then as you advance you could do all these artistic or dramatic arms. Sometimes it helps to keep them in front. Also you want relaxed shoulders.Here's a quick sketch to give an idea how your arms should look:

2. Feet can sometimes be a problem especially because if you don't have boots of your own the rentals can be worn out, not enough thickness though if your just skating in circles no jumps no spins you wouldn't have to worry to much about that. or it could just badly made. But that's not the only problem fitting could be to because people just get skates that are to big and assume it would work but then it's hard to skate in and your feet start hurting because when there to big your feet will be leaning into the inside edge. Although it could also mean you didn't tie your skates tight enough.
Working with feet on ice like I said earlier if you can keep your arms still and control that makes it a whole lot easier. I suggest star with marches but try not to keep your feet so wide apart or not to close that your skates are glued because if you keep your feet as if there glued  sometimes the hooks on your boots can get caught or your laces which could also cause you to fall in a uncomfortable position. Trust me it happened  to me when I was just learning sometimes it still happens to me while I go into a jump or spin. Take your time as well don't try to rust especially if it' s your first few times on the ice because I see many people do that and start becoming the tornado and falls smack on their but or chest. Once you feel more comfortable with that you can try stroking. Start y creating a t position with your feet then with the foot facing horizontally take a small push and try to extend. Do the same for the other foot back and forth then repeat the pattern.
