Figrue skating is a sport that uses practically all of the bodies muscles. Of course, all of the leg muscles are used the most because of all the jumps and spins. The arm muscles are used frequently due to having to hold them up and all of the falling which a skater will put their arm out to catch themselves. Falling alone can contribute to muscular arms. The abdominals are also used in figure skating because of the spins and jumps where having a strong trunk is a necessity to be a good skater. Hope this helps!
I've been a competitive skater for ten years and the most important thing you need to do to stay in for skating is stamina. You need so much endurance for programs. Breathing through skating is so important !
Go for runs- Sprint for 2 minutes, walk for 1 minute, jog for 3 minutes- repeat.
Cardio everyday !
Strength is the second most important thing. Weight work, squats (for jumping), vertical jumping.
And lastly, you need so much balance. Close your eyes and stand on one leg. The goal is to not put the other foot down. Then switch to the other leg !
Hope this helps ! Good luck.
Maybe do some lunges and splits a few butterflys and y positions. Also back bends and Ballet positions like attitudes.
