Is she seventy/?She is not forty!!! I m 52.. for 8 months!!! Results!! Where?horror!!!

Hello! Im currently learning forward stroking and Im struggling to "dig deeper" in my pushing leg, do you have any tips? Your form looks so nice (when you push) Thank you

This is so cool! I'm 43 and skated a bit as a kid. You're making me want to take lessons!

Very good progress!

She is 72? Still two years???

Question: is it easier to do one foot glides with arms in the front vs arms at the side?

after one month, my one foot glides suck on the left side.

YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION

Hello, Jen, glad to see your progress! Is your skating rink always so empty? It's fantastic!

しっかり上体までアウトエッジに乗っていないとなかなか難しい。 アウトエッジの姿勢をキープするための練習をした方が良いかも。カーリングのホームを使う。 そして上体までアウトエッジの体勢で、ハーフレモンを繰り返す。 そして姿勢をキープできるようになってくるとこのビデオでやってる動きもやりやすくなるはず。

You got it! Keep going! Your progress is amazing!! <3

Got the chills. You are progressing our dear ice princess. Love your vids 🥰⛸⛸

Your skates are way blunt, wonder your doing as well as you are

Im 37 and you inspire me. New subscriber here!

Hello, Jen! You were going to restart taking group lessons some time ago, did you? Yesterday I proudly fell at a 3-turn. Again. Is it consistency or inconsistency? 🤣

I turned 40 in 2022 and I took my first figure skating lesson!! Thank you for posting this❤️ I’m getting for my first competition

Great video I start learn to skate mid July. love seeing the progress

WOW so cool. YAY!!!! For three turns my coach tells me that i rush them . Ur supposed to feel a kind of momentum or push and that kinda helps me to turn the other way- I still suck at them in general tho especially on certain sides. I also do it a lil differently from you but I thought I’d share that knowledge 😃. Great progress especially for 26 months! I skated with a 70 year old the other day and I, 19 years old could not keep up and eventually tripped on my toe pick and fell out of exhaustion LOL. Anyone can do it.

Things I’d rather do than a back crossover: 1. Waltz jump 2. Salchow jump 3. Split on the ice 4. Pet a shark

I am 40 and been skating since 5 years old, people always think that I am much younger than my actual age.

Hi. I'm wondering if you're only working on the same one or two elements in a session? Have you tried connecting the skills you have already learned? Learning one element in isolation is fine at first, but it is more fun and effective to practice different steps and transitions:)

Hello Jen! I'm so happy I came across your channel. Im a newbie beginner skater who started in my mid twenties and the way you show your progress has been very helpful and relaxing to watch as well. Do you also share on instagram? Would love to follow you on there as well. Hope to see much more of your progress! X

hi i am around 40 and learning to skate for the first time. thanks for the inspiration, keep going and enjoy yourself

Oh, I forgot to add something that has helped me in the past with back cross overs is imagine yourself sitting on a chair. For me it gets me to bend the knees without repeating in my head “bend knees..bend knees…bend knees” over and over. 😊

You inspire me so much. Due to a series of injuries and unfortunate events I have to learn to skate all over again from moment one. This will be my fourth time starting over. I have felt so defeated but seeing someone else have a slower journey gives me hope. Thank you for your updates.

Motivated by your 3turns thanks for sharing jen

Hello, Jen! I used yoga bricks to train shoot the duck off-ice. It's not that difficult to sit down, but to get back up is a real deal. I hope you enjoy every time when you're on ice. I was hospitalized in March, and it went a little bit wrong. Now I'm trying to come back but can only skate forward slowly at the moment. I try to remind myself about patience but it's actually so difficult to be patient.

Love seeing your content! Are you taking lessons at the rink? I'm an adult beginner too and enjoy seeing this type of video!

Thanks for sharing! Keep up the great work.

Love that you’re documenting your journey! Skating isn’t easy and after a few years it’s so easy to forget how far you come from the early days. You’re doing great!

Go girl! 🎉

Yu are working sohard n your backward cross overs - may I give you a few tipps? Because your rotation is wrong. Your bottom is looking the way you go - but your upper body should turn towards the middle of the circle. Your arm, which is in skating direction is higher that the other arm, but both arms are facing the circle. Your face should look in the direction you are going - in the same direction like you bottom - so that your body is rotatet nearly 180°. Otherwise your hard work won't become successful.

Nice work, fine three turns❤

Wow lots of progress

Hello, Jen, great to see you on ice once again! Progress may be slow but it's still progress. At least I have to remind myself of that every time I feel impatient. I did my first shaky 3-turn about 18 months ago, and 9 months ago I learned the last one (backward outside). And last summer I felt happy that I could do all kinds of 3-turns, but then the fall came and I suddenly realized that my 3-turns were in fact rather poor. So here I am still nursing my 18 months old forward outside 3-turns, and still stumbling, and still twitchy, and my most recent fall was from a 3-turn.

You are killing it ! I just started ice skating (27) and it’s so much fun! Love seeing people pick up a hobby I’m working on backwards crossovers they are my biggest enemy 😭

You can do it, it can be tough getting back into the swing of things but the best thing is that you're trying. Also wishing you luck in regards to your career.

this is amazing! KEEP IT UP :)

So glad to see you again, Jen. You rock!

Wow good job! I didn't learn that turn yet. I will try it tomorrow! I also just started age 40! 😀😃❄️⛸ it's never too late🎉

Amazing! I just started learning bacisc on my own t2 yo, but my mum just started learning skiing at 44yo, its so lovely to see. Thank you for posting this.

Hello, Jen, nice to see you back on ice! You should have had your birthday recently, so my congratulations! Nice to see you trying 3-turns on both sides. I wonder how do you usually spend your ice time. Do you have some kind of ice routine?

i am no where near being an adult but oh my god this video has been a huge inspiration

I saw all your videos right now. I barely know how to roller skate and went ice skating only two times (we don't have many places for ice skating in Brazil since its not part of our culture), so i'm now getting some inspiration and seeing some iceskating videos. Usually people like me just want to jump to intermediate/advanced stuff, but you're focused and patient and i can learn from that too. If you loose some fear of doing spins and jumpings (like waltz jump) you will master for sure! Wish you all the best ! Keep inspiring people !

Those backward crossovers aren't the right technique: the outside leg does not literally cross over the inside boot, it stays on the ice and slides downward in front of the other foot. You also don't seem to have the same confidence gliding backwards with your legs crossed as you do gliding forwards, you seem to be in a rush to uncross them. I don't know if you were taught this technique as part of a progression to correct backward crossovers but I think you're not going to go much farther with it so, if you can, maybe you can arrange a drop-in lesson with a coach and get some help learning the correct technique so you can practice it on your own. Keep it up, you can master this! Backward crossovers are a very unnatural and uncomfortable motion at first, but when you get past that they become one of the smoothest and best feeling elements on the ice.

Sehr schön :) .... fange jetzt erst wieder an, bin 59, das letzte Mal vor 20 Jahren auf Kuven gestanden. Was soll's? Ich möchte einfach nur Spaß ;) Alles Liebe für Dich ... Liebe Grüße Marita aus Deutschland...

Keep on, Jen! Love your lunge posture. 👍

To have wow effect you have to add 20 years at least to your age. For me it seems u r not enough strong for figure skating. If u will get more fit, your figure skating progress much faster

Not much progress at all
