Hello!
Quick recap: I skated as a kid (a lot on my own) until teens, then only occasionally/recreationally until last year when I started taking lessons again. I upgraded my skates last month and am feeling pretty good - good enough to be mindful of all my bad habits. Chief among them: bad knees and lazy arms. I've made good progress with arms and posture but I still tend to do everything without sufficient knee bend. Any specific drills/exercises (on or off ice) that will get me deeper and encourage me to stop skating around like an undercooked noodle?
TIA!
