October 6, 2013

Ice skating can be enjoyed throughout life, and it's never too late to begin ice skating. Some ice skating rinks offer public skating sessions for adults only and almost all ice skating rinks offer skating lessons geared especially for adult skaters.

A great inspiration for adult skaters is Colorado resident Yvonne Dowlen. She practices figure skating five days a week and performs in exhibitions, competitions, and shows and also teaches skating. She says that figure skating has always been a major part of her life, and has skated for over seventy years.
