Can anyone give me any advice on how to overcome clumsiness in learning how to skate?

Like to do diffrent forms of exercise to keep from getting bored with fitness.





Happen to have a poor sense of balance.Can anyone give me any advice on how to overcome clumsiness in learning how to skate?
you don't have a poor sense of balance, you are just afraid to fall. over come that fear and you'll do better. You're afraid to fall and hurt yourself that's why you're limiting your abilities and adaptation. As you skate forget that you will fall, just glide thinking you will not fall. Practice in a open area and you have no one to bang to, or something to break. Falling is part of the excitement. just let go of yourself. Just glide, then email if you've done it right. Im telling you these because once im just like you. when i overcome the fear of falling, i have enjoyed it. Sometimes im afraid somebody will laugh at me, im just thinking everybody experienced the same for them to learn. be fearless and gutsful.. Go go go! Good luck!Can anyone give me any advice on how to overcome clumsiness in learning how to skate?
Practice... that's it.
try to feel comfortable ... most things are more mental
wow-skateboarding a hard way to start...it just takes practice and time. start trying to stand on a board on a fairly large rock-learn to shift your balance to prevent yourself from falling.... alot of skating is equalling out your footing with the way you tilt your body
1) walk with a book on your head.





2) when no is looking, try to dance gracefully.





3) Ride a bike.





$) Roller blade first.





5)Try to balance an egg and a melon.
Well how about hiring a skating coach to help you out at the rink?
I'm assuming you're talking about ice skating, but rollerblading would be the same. First, make sure the skates are tied TIGHT, to the point that you could not possibly tie them any tighter, and make sure they are laced all the way to the ankle. If you have too much lace left over, wrap it around your ankle before you tie it. This keeps your ankles from wobbling. Second, bend your knees to about halfway between a sitting and standing position and lean forward slightly. Putting most of your weight ahead of you keeps you from falling backwards as you try to move forward. Third, spread your legs as far as you feel comfortable standing. This will lower your center of gravity and keep you more stable. Last, go slowly and keep practicing until you get the hang of it. Learning to stop is also really important, but, especially if you're ice skating, just hang out around the walls at the edge of the rink and grab on if you have to stop at first. Good luck
