Currently, figure skating is experiencing a real boom. More and more people remember their childhood spent at skating rinks, watch all kinds of ice shows and happily watch the performances of our athletes at competitions. Yes, skates are in fashion now. And I must say that this fashion is extremely useful.
A trip to the skating rink is a great workout for your legs, buttocks and abdominal muscles. In addition, being in the fresh air gives a lot of positive effects - from a good mood to strengthening health and immunity. If all this interests you, get on your skates and go for it!
So, to choose skates, go to a good specialized store. Of course, you can rent shoes right at the skating rink. But first of all, it's unhygienic. You understand that many feet have been in these boots, and they don’t require a health certificate from tenants. That is why there is a chance of catching some unpleasant skin disease. Well, secondly, such boots do not have all the necessary qualities for the simple reason that they are simply worn out and worn out. They will cause premature fatigue, discomfort and may even cause falls and injuries. Therefore, if you decide to go out on the ice at least once a week, it’s better to spend money, but buy your own.
Boots should be leather, with a hard ankle and foam lining inside. And definitely lace up. Thanks to this, the leg takes the correct position and is clearly fixed. This means that she is protected from injury.
As for clothes for the skating rink, you should proceed from your capabilities. If finances allow you, buy thermal underwear. It is very thin, but at the same time it warms no worse than a woolen sweater and fleece pants. But moving in such equipment is much easier and more enjoyable. On top, wear a light jacket and a hat. The main thing is not to overdo it. After all, figure skating is a very active sport. Therefore, by dressing up in all the insulated clothes in your wardrobe, you risk sweating, getting cold and catching a cold.
