I'm going back to skating i noticed after I stopped skating I got old started to feel joint problems now at 63 years young I feel little pains In the morning when I get up I feel stiff until I move around then it leaves. .
      So that means if I skate regular my aches and pains will go away. 😁🤸‍♂️🤸‍♀️ It's a new day 🤸‍♂️Time to tighten up my core back to when I was a rock hard skating machine!!! Start and Pass the work Let's Go!!!

I dropped my kid and niece off at the skating rink a couple of weeks ago, and when I went back to pick them up they said it was so boring.
