Is ice skating challenging

Answer 1

At the beginning it is because you feel as if you are either ready to move on or just don't understand a single thing you are learning. But if you stick with it you enjoy it because great things are soon to come. Such as your single jumps! Waltz jump, toe loop, salchow, loop, flip, lutz, and axel!!! Those are all fun but the reason you learn your singles is to prepare for doubles and triples!!!! If you are committed to figure skating then it will seem like a beautiful sport and you also burn lots of calories in figure skating. Another good thing about figure skating is you can express yourself and your feelings. Ice skating will be challenging and costly at times but if you're sure that that's what you truly want, then it's completely worth it. So go for your life-long dream and don't let any nasties snatch you and blow you away. (As in jealous competitors of yours.)
