Ice Skating

Ice Skating a Canadian winter staple past time! We all know how to do it, no matter how "bad" we are, we still manage to dust off those skates each winter, and um glide along on some local ice. Ice skating is great exercise, and an amazing workout for your Gluets, Hams, and Quads (Butt, Back of your leg, and front of your legs).

Spending just one hour outside in our beautiful winter wonderland skating will burn around 300 calories at a moderate pace. If you kick it up a notch (and maybe race a friend) you could be burning close to 500 calories in an hour. Not to mention tightening and defining those leggers of yours!

This is a picture of my friend Matt. Figure skating coach extraordinaire!! Look a his butt! Pretty good eh?!  I know Nikki loves it ;)


So get outside this winter, grab your skates, or borrow a friends and enjoy what our country has to offer while working on your fitness ;-)

For those who are unlucky to take part in a balmy snowy afternoon of skating...Grab your roller blades, and check out the view on the beach!
