WHAT CAN YOU DO IF YOU FEEL YOURSELF TIRING OUT WHILE SKATING?

Say, I was thinking about this...Does anyone know if there's anything skaters can do if they feel themselves tiring out while skating so they can keep going? Is there an actual answer to this? Thanks.

Take a break. Go over to the boards and stay there until you feel like going again.

But it's also important to remember that skating is a very athletic activity, and you need muscle strength and aerobic strength to do it well. So a lot of things in skating are going to make your muscles ache and make you breathe really hard. The best way to build your strength is to keep going when you feel like that, and only rest when you feel like you can't do anything more.

As I get older I find myself spending less and less time going all out jumping & spinning on sessions. But you can always slow down & work on less strenuous moves, like swizzles, spirals, & 3 turns. Even skating forward and around the rink is still good exercise! Have fun!
