It's never too late to start ice skating! Many adults take up skating for fun, fitness, and even competition. With determination and practice, you can enjoy skating at any age.

Opt for comfortable clothing that allows freedom of movement, like leggings or athletic pants. Layering is key, so a fitted top with a warm sweater or jacket is ideal. Check out our super cute selection of skating tees and jackets! Don't forget gloves and thick socks to keep your hands and feet warm.

While not mandatory, wearing protective gear like a helmet and knee/elbow pads is recommended, especially for beginners. Safety should be a top priority.

It depends on your preference and learning style. Group lessons offer a social aspect and are often more affordable, while private lessons provide personalized attention and faster progress.

Consider taking adult skating lessons offered by local rinks or skating clubs. These lessons are tailored to adults and can help you build confidence and learn the basics. Also, be sure to join our Facebook Group and network with other adult skaters in your area who may have advice for you!

Falling is a natural part of learning to skate. Wearing protective gear and practicing falling safely can help alleviate fear. Gradually build confidence by starting with basic movements and balance exercises.

After each session, wipe down the blades to prevent rust. AST offers branded ombre microfiber towels perfect for this. Store skates in a dry place and consider using blade guards when off the ice. Regularly check and tighten screws as needed. Read our blog about it here!

Light stretching, leg swings, and ankle rotations can help warm up your muscles and joints before hitting the ice. It's important to start slowly to prevent injury.
