Are there any former competitive skaters on here who have gotten themselves back into shape just for the sake of being able to get back on the ice again? i was a competitive skater for 13 years and after high school i went off to college and just lost interest. i ended up gaining a lot of weight since my competitive years (about 80 lbs over the last 10 years) and am in the process of losing it. i also haven't been on my skates in going on 5 years, but i miss it so much. i definitely will never compete again but i just want to skate for the heck of it and maybe gain some doubles back eventually. i obviously really need to build A LOT of strength back up before i even think in that direction, but i wanted to get some advice from anyone who has done this before. are there any exercises that really helped? any eating tips or tricks? anything at all would be helpful.
