Is she seventy/?She is not forty!!! I m 52.. for 8 months!!! Results!! Where?horror!!!
Hello! Im currently learning forward stroking and Im struggling to "dig deeper" in my pushing leg, do you have any tips? Your form looks so nice (when you push) Thank you
This is so cool! I'm 43 and skated a bit as a kid. You're making me want to take lessons!
Very good progress!
Thanks! 😊
She is 72? Still two years???
Question: is it easier to do one foot glides with arms in the front vs arms at the side?
I was taught them with arms in front, and it has stuck with me since
after one month, my one foot glides suck on the left side.
It took me a few months(!) to get them on my "sad" side too!😭
@@jenonice thank you. two weeks after posting that, both feet are okay now wow
YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION
Thanks!
Hello, Jen, glad to see your progress! Is your skating rink always so empty? It's fantastic!
Haha, I've been to the rink so many times this summer when the rink was so so busy! It's so random!
@@jenonice Ha, I wish my rink was so random! Alas, it was consistently overcrowded. And still is.
しっかり上体までアウトエッジに乗っていないとなかなか難しい。 アウトエッジの姿勢をキープするための練習をした方が良いかも。カーリングのホームを使う。 そして上体までアウトエッジの体勢で、ハーフレモンを繰り返す。 そして姿勢をキープできるようになってくるとこのビデオでやってる動きもやりやすくなるはず。
Thank you!
You got it! Keep going! Your progress is amazing!! <3
Thanks! 😊
Got the chills. You are progressing our dear ice princess. Love your vids 🥰⛸⛸
Thanks for watching! 😊
Your skates are way blunt, wonder your doing as well as you are
I've been trying to be more consistent about getting my skates sharpened 😅
Im 37 and you inspire me. New subscriber here!
I love hearing about other adults learning to skate too! Thanks for watching!
Hello, Jen! You were going to restart taking group lessons some time ago, did you? Yesterday I proudly fell at a 3-turn. Again. Is it consistency or inconsistency? 🤣
Haha, I always "lose" what I have on my 3-Turn whenever I don't practice for a week or so. 😅 Yes, I started group classes again at the end of June! I'm in Beta classes working on Backward Crossovers (of course).
I turned 40 in 2022 and I took my first figure skating lesson!! Thank you for posting this❤️ I’m getting for my first competition
That's awesome that you're skating too as an adult! Thanks for watching! 😊
Great video I start learn to skate mid July. love seeing the progress
I love that you're learning to skate too! How do you like your classes so far?
@@jenonice so far so fun... only been on the ice 4 times. It takes me a a few minutes to trust the blades and myself.
WOW so cool. YAY!!!! For three turns my coach tells me that i rush them . Ur supposed to feel a kind of momentum or push and that kinda helps me to turn the other way- I still suck at them in general tho especially on certain sides. I also do it a lil differently from you but I thought I’d share that knowledge 😃. Great progress especially for 26 months! I skated with a 70 year old the other day and I, 19 years old could not keep up and eventually tripped on my toe pick and fell out of exhaustion LOL. Anyone can do it.
Thanks for watching! I will try out your suggestion when I practice later this week... I probably need to skate faster to feel that momentum, haha! 😅 I'm hoping I still have the ability to skate when I'm 70 too!
Things I’d rather do than a back crossover: 1. Waltz jump 2. Salchow jump 3. Split on the ice 4. Pet a shark
It looks like I'm going to be working on Backward Crossovers forever too 🤣
I am 40 and been skating since 5 years old, people always think that I am much younger than my actual age.

Hi. I'm wondering if you're only working on the same one or two elements in a session? Have you tried connecting the skills you have already learned? Learning one element in isolation is fine at first, but it is more fun and effective to practice different steps and transitions:)
Yes, I have a few elements that I work on each time, but it really depends on how busy the rink is that day. I know the last time I had a private lesson, my coach also wanted me to start combining elements together when I lap around the rink 😅
Hello Jen! I'm so happy I came across your channel. Im a newbie beginner skater who started in my mid twenties and the way you show your progress has been very helpful and relaxing to watch as well. Do you also share on instagram? Would love to follow you on there as well. Hope to see much more of your progress! X
That's great you started skating as an adult too! My progress is slow, but I'm glad you're enjoying watching it anyways! 😊 Unfortunately, I don't have an Instagram skating account!
hi i am around 40 and learning to skate for the first time. thanks for the inspiration, keep going and enjoy yourself
Oh, I forgot to add something that has helped me in the past with back cross overs is imagine yourself sitting on a chair. For me it gets me to bend the knees without repeating in my head “bend knees..bend knees…bend knees” over and over. 😊
Thank you for the tip! I'll think about it when I skate later today... I'm always yelling at myself in my head to bend my knees, haha!
You inspire me so much. Due to a series of injuries and unfortunate events I have to learn to skate all over again from moment one. This will be my fourth time starting over. I have felt so defeated but seeing someone else have a slower journey gives me hope. Thank you for your updates.
Thanks for watching! Slow progress is frustrating to me too, but then I tell myself I don't really have any end goals of competing or performing, so... 😅
Progress is never a straight line to the top so keep believing in yourself no matter what others say. . If you believe it will be achieved. Also I suggest you count hours spent practicing vs. months coz it's more fair /realistic⛸️
Motivated by your 3turns thanks for sharing jen
Thanks for watching! It does feel like I've been working on them forever, haha
Hello, Jen! I used yoga bricks to train shoot the duck off-ice. It's not that difficult to sit down, but to get back up is a real deal. I hope you enjoy every time when you're on ice. I was hospitalized in March, and it went a little bit wrong. Now I'm trying to come back but can only skate forward slowly at the moment. I try to remind myself about patience but it's actually so difficult to be patient.
Oh no! 😟 I totally understand about not being patient enough when it comes to skating... Slowly but surely you'll regain your progress! I seem to have the opposite problem with Shoot the Duck... I can't balance when I sit down (at least when I try it off ice) 😭 I'll try it with yoga blocks though since I've just been holding onto a chair when I practice it
Love seeing your content! Are you taking lessons at the rink? I'm an adult beginner too and enjoy seeing this type of video!
Thanks for watching! I also love watching other adults pick up skating too! I'm currently not taking lessons, but I plan to restart group lessons later this month!
@@jenonice yeay to going back to the ice! I can't wait for my group lessons (my city offer them for free in winter) but currently in private lesson working on my turns, spins and waltz jumps
Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great work.
Thanks for watching!
Love that you’re documenting your journey! Skating isn’t easy and after a few years it’s so easy to forget how far you come from the early days. You’re doing great!
Thanks! 😊
Go girl! 🎉
Thanks! 😊
Yu are working sohard n your backward cross overs - may I give you a few tipps? Because your rotation is wrong. Your bottom is looking the way you go - but your upper body should turn towards the middle of the circle. Your arm, which is in skating direction is higher that the other arm, but both arms are facing the circle. Your face should look in the direction you are going - in the same direction like you bottom - so that your body is rotatet nearly 180°. Otherwise your hard work won't become successful.
Thank you for the tips! I will be more mindful about my upper body positioning when I practice this week! I've been so focused on what my feet are doing! 😅
Nice work, fine three turns❤
Thanks! 😊
Wow lots of progress
Thanks! 😊
Hello, Jen, great to see you on ice once again! Progress may be slow but it's still progress. At least I have to remind myself of that every time I feel impatient. I did my first shaky 3-turn about 18 months ago, and 9 months ago I learned the last one (backward outside). And last summer I felt happy that I could do all kinds of 3-turns, but then the fall came and I suddenly realized that my 3-turns were in fact rather poor. So here I am still nursing my 18 months old forward outside 3-turns, and still stumbling, and still twitchy, and my most recent fall was from a 3-turn.
Ahhh... ok, it's not just me then! 😅 Thanks for sharing! I'll be a little bit more patient with myself. It really feels like it's taking forever, but it's just always a work in progress...
You are killing it ! I just started ice skating (27) and it’s so much fun! Love seeing people pick up a hobby I’m working on backwards crossovers they are my biggest enemy 😭
Thanks! I've been struggling with Backward Crossovers for months now too. I live in hope that they'll eventually feel natural, haha!
You can do it, it can be tough getting back into the swing of things but the best thing is that you're trying. Also wishing you luck in regards to your career.
this is amazing! KEEP IT UP :)
Thanks for watching!
So glad to see you again, Jen. You rock!
Thanks for watching!
Wow good job! I didn't learn that turn yet. I will try it tomorrow! I also just started age 40! 😀😃❄️⛸ it's never too late🎉
Yay! I love seeing other people my age on the ice!
Amazing! I just started learning bacisc on my own t2 yo, but my mum just started learning skiing at 44yo, its so lovely to see. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for watching! I love seeing other adults learn to skate too! 😊
Hello, Jen, nice to see you back on ice! You should have had your birthday recently, so my congratulations! Nice to see you trying 3-turns on both sides. I wonder how do you usually spend your ice time. Do you have some kind of ice routine?
Thanks! 😊 I usually warm up for 15 minutes on the ice with Forward Stroking, Forward and Backward Chasses on a circle and Two-Foot Turns. Once I'm warmed up, I'll practice Forward Crossovers, 3-Turns and Backward Crossovers. Do you have an ice routine too?
i am no where near being an adult but oh my god this video has been a huge inspiration
Thanks for watching!
I saw all your videos right now. I barely know how to roller skate and went ice skating only two times (we don't have many places for ice skating in Brazil since its not part of our culture), so i'm now getting some inspiration and seeing some iceskating videos. Usually people like me just want to jump to intermediate/advanced stuff, but you're focused and patient and i can learn from that too. If you loose some fear of doing spins and jumpings (like waltz jump) you will master for sure! Wish you all the best ! Keep inspiring people !
Thanks for watching! I'm trying to be less scared of everything this year, so I can improve faster😅
Those backward crossovers aren't the right technique: the outside leg does not literally cross over the inside boot, it stays on the ice and slides downward in front of the other foot. You also don't seem to have the same confidence gliding backwards with your legs crossed as you do gliding forwards, you seem to be in a rush to uncross them. I don't know if you were taught this technique as part of a progression to correct backward crossovers but I think you're not going to go much farther with it so, if you can, maybe you can arrange a drop-in lesson with a coach and get some help learning the correct technique so you can practice it on your own. Keep it up, you can master this! Backward crossovers are a very unnatural and uncomfortable motion at first, but when you get past that they become one of the smoothest and best feeling elements on the ice.
Thank you for the tips! I was only taught the beginner version of the Backward Crossovers which is what I’ve been practicing. I will watch some UA-cam tutorials and see what I can do about progressing them!
Sehr schön :) .... fange jetzt erst wieder an, bin 59, das letzte Mal vor 20 Jahren auf Kuven gestanden. Was soll's? Ich möchte einfach nur Spaß ;) Alles Liebe für Dich ... Liebe Grüße Marita aus Deutschland...
Keep on, Jen! Love your lunge posture. 👍
Thanks!😊
To have wow effect you have to add 20 years at least to your age. For me it seems u r not enough strong for figure skating. If u will get more fit, your figure skating progress much faster
Not much progress at all
