Ice skaters, please help?

I am 15 now, I have been skating since I was 3, and I just recently dropped out of competitive ice dancing mainly because I cant find a partner. I only have a few more compulsory dances to pass and I am working on my junior moves, assuming that I pass all my dances and moves before I graduate high school, how much money per hour could I make teaching ice dance? Remember I have not done any great competition or anything like that just some in-state ones. I was also thinking of teaching off-ice such as fitness or yoga or something like that, and maybe even sewing skating costumes for my students, so with all of that could I make a decent income? Plus what if i do things like coach basic skills, ice show, or the high school team?

(I am hoping I can make somewhere between $20-$30 at least, what do you think?)

it depends on the coach. a couple of mine charge 20 dollars, 10 dollars, anywhere between the 10 and 35 dollar range

for off ice:
i took an off ice course run by my main coach the summer before last.

we started with a lap around the track. then moved on to lunges, squats, running and jumping exersises and practicing our moves off-ice. it really helped my performance and my coach made alot of money off that course

Get Fit Using The Wii – It’s Not All Hard Work

It goes like this:

-indulge over Christmas

-make New Year’s resolution to lose weight and get fit

-cancel gym membership

There are hundreds of reasons why so many resolutions become disillusions. Firstly, the Battle of the Bulge can be expensive. Very expensive. Gym membership can gobble up a sizable chunk of your bank balance, with most deals falling somewhere between £40 and £80 per month. Even once you’ve signed gingerly on the dotted line, finding the courage to walk into a room and proceed to pant and sweat in front of complete strangers can be a very unappealing and intimidating prospect to some. The same goes for outdoor sports, which of course also means you will be at the mercy of the unpredictable British weather.

The Wii has completely revolutionised gaming. With motion sensitive controllers and balance board which can recognise weight distribution, the Wii makes for a more interactive, not to mention energetic, gaming experience. Within the privacy and comfort of your own living room, you can concentrate on following your personalised workouts and leave the Wii work out all the facts and figures that will keep you fit and healthy for years to come. Some programs can even help support a healthy lifestyle once your Wii is switched off, with low calorie recipe ideas and activity suggestions. But what the Wii is best at is making your exercise routine an enjoyable experience, and the games use motivational points systems and rewards that help you to stay on track and make your goals achievable.

Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board

There’s a huge variety of fitness games on offer, but a good place start is with Wii Fit Plus with Balance Board. The first thing you need to do with any new Wii game is to personalise your profile. The Wii will store your details such as height, age, weight, BMI and balance, and will keep a log for you. At this stage you can also chose a goal weight or fitness level, and the Wii will keep track of how close you are to reaching it.

The Wii Fit Plus features five training categories; aerobic exercises, muscle conditioning, yoga, balance games and the new training plus. All are designed to help develop your bodily balance and control, burn fat, help tone and condition muscle and also to increase your aerobic stamina. Most importantly, they’re designed to be fun! You can ski, skateboard, try out some kung fu moves or even take a plunge as a penguin. You can also create customised training routines or ask your personal Wii Fit trainer can create exercise programs for you based on the area of your body you wish to work on, whether it’s those love handles, extra belly rolls or wobbly thighs.

Rating – 4.5/5

My Fitness Coach

My Fitness Coach is another contender in this increasingly popular personal trainer category, but with this one there’s no need to purchase the Wii Balance Board. As always, you will be required to do an initial fitness evaluation. Then you have the option of including a heart rate monitor, aerobic step, balance ball or weights into your workouts if you have them at home. The program asks you about your goal and will even recommend workouts for you based on your fitness test information. With your goals and workout hours set, you’re ready to feel the benefits of a 1-on-1 personalised workout. As you progress you unlock new exercise rooms and new music types, and after every 10 workouts you will be asked to complete the initial fitness test again to see how you’re getting on.

Your Shape with Camera

A direct descendent of My Fitness Coach, Your Shape with Camera takes the idea one step further by using a camera to scan your body and track your movements. This program is controller-free which means you are able to fully concentrate on your body movements and practise a wider range of exercises. While still offering a range of bespoke workouts tailored to your goals, the program offers some extra help by being able to tell you instantly whether you’re doing an exercise incorrectly, and how to put it right.

The Biggest Loser

You’ve seen the TV show, now join The Biggest Loser challenge! This is another interactive fitness game and comes complete with structured routines, weekly special challenges, weigh-ins and eliminations. This time the program’s main objective is weight loss and promoting a healthy diet. Personalise your program and get inspiring health and lifestyle tips, over 50 healthy recipes and a calorie counter. The best thing? You can train with a friend and compete to win the title of The Biggest Loser.

Still not got the fitness bug?!

If none of the above games take your fancy, why not try something with a little more rhythm? Just Dance is the popular Wii dancing game featuring over 200 real dance moves to 32 hit songs that are bound to get your toes tapping. By mirroring the dancer on screen and hitting the moves you won’t even realise you’re giving your body a great workout. You can sing along to the tunes and challenge your friends to a dance-off as the game accommodates up to 4 players.

Rating – 4.5/5

So you see there’s really no excuse not to get fit and healthy in 2010, and with a little help from the Wii, you might even enjoy it.
