In order to keep a good balance when skating, the individual would
have to lessen the chances of losing the centeredness of the body
that would help to keep from falling backwards.
Keeping the weight forward and over the balls of the feet is the first
posture position to follow. This would help the individual have
better balance, thus avoiding the tendency to lean too much
backwards. This will also help to steady the stance when on the
skates, which can be quite tricky, as this is when most people tend
to lose their balance.
Swinging the hands side to side in front of the body is also another
motion to incorporate into the posture formation. Without this
swinging motion, the balance will not be able to be maintained
equally and this too may cause injury, as balance is the prime
element in keeping mobile an in control.
Learning to relax while keeping the knees bent is important.
Though initially it may seem rather an uncomfortable position to
take on, eventually with practice the individual will be able to
become more accustomed to this position. This particular position
also acts as a good way to absorb and impacts on the body, thus is
considered the ideal shock absorber position.Ideally the body should stay in line with the skates, even when the
surrounding changes while skating. Keeping the weight balance
throughout the experience is both essential and important in
keeping the individual on the skates.
