[xofivebyfive]

I'm about ISI FS4 or prepreliminary. I practice for an hour.

[flying~camel]

I'm currently at Adult Bronze and skate 40 mins on Wednesdays, 2 hrs on Saturdays and 2 hrs on Sundays.

I also do off-ice aerobics classes - 2 hrs on Tuesdays and 2 hrs on Thursdays.

[Skittl1321]

I'm usfsa freeskate 3 and I take a 45 minute group lesson and then skate about 30 minutes on tuesday, take a 30 minute private lesson and skate 30 minutes on wednesday, and a 45 minute group lesson on Saturday. I also plan to add about 30 minutes - 60 minutes skating on Sunday.

For synchro we do 30 minutes off ice, and then 75 minutes on ice on wednesdays. Anything I need to practice for synchro individually gets absorbed into my regular practice times.

I also do 30 minutes of cardio/strength training at a gym 4 days a week.

[littlekateskate]

My daughter is basic 4/isi beta and practices about an hour 3x a week sometimes a little longer.

[TreSk8sAZ]

I skate 1.5 hours two days a week and 2.25 hours 3 days a week. How long I practice something depends on how I'm feeling that day, or what's coming up, or how many sessions I'm skating.

Intermediate MITF- 15 mins - 45 mins

Jumps (Silver F/S, but working on doubles) - 30 mins - 45 mins

Spins - 15 mins - 20 mins

Dance (testing Bronze & Pre-Silver, working on Silvers) - 10 mins - 45 mins

[blackmanskating]

1.5-2 hours on ice
1 hour off ice (cardio/weights)
30 minutes stretching.
I typically do this 5-6 days a week give or take a day.

I am technically Pre-Bronze but I have the ability to skate Gold Level. I just haven't taken the tests yet.

[Mrs Redboots]

Hmph, I just typed a reply and the 'puter ate it!

Until this week I skated for 90 minutes or longer 4 times a week; however, my Tuesday and Wednesday sessions will have to be 45 minutes to an hour, I think, if I am to get into work on time. So will have to learn to use the session productively, not stand about chatting!

[Muskoka Skater]

2-3hrs whenever I skate, I'm a Sr.Bronze Ladies!

[Morgail]

I skate approximately 1-2 hours, about 5 days a week. My practices are mix of freestyle, moves, and dance - whatever needs working on that day.

I also do off-ice jumping, one-legged squats, crunches, arm-weights, and stretching for about a half-hour 5-7 days a week (sometimes I forget!).

Oh - and I'm working on Adult Silver Moves and FS, and working on the Canasta Tango and Rhythm Blues for dance.

(though I'm not doing any of this at the moment...)

[SynchroSk8r114]

Levels:
Intermediate freestyle
Pre Gold dances
Open Collegiate synchro

I skate about 4-5 days a week for at least an hour each day.

[momsk8er]

Sunday - yoga 1 hr
Tuesday - skate 1 hr
Wed - skate 1 hr; aerobics 30 min, weight training 30 min
Thurs - yoga 1 hr; every 2nd Thurs weight training 30 min
Friday - skate 2 hrs

[ibreakhearts66]

well definitely depends on my schedule.
over the summer i went nuts
I skated 2-3 times a week, and this was my sched
8.15-9.15 freestyle
9.30-10.30 off ice
10.30-11.30 on ice
11.30-12.15 off ice
1.15-about 4.00 on ice

but now i'm back at school, and if i'm lucky i get to the rink 2x a week for about 2 hours. I've tested usfsa pre-pre, but i'm on my high doubles, working on double axels a bit, so really, like juv

[jazzpants]

On Ice Training

Sunday: 1.5 hours skating practice
Monday night: An hour to an hour and 15min, depending on how tired I am.
Wed morning: Lesson... probably anywhere from 50 to an hour.
Thurs: An hour to an hour and 15min, depending on how much of a time crunch I have for work.

Off Ice Training

I do 3-50 min session on the elliptical trainer where I try to kick my heart rate up to about 160 bpm and then do a slow 5 minute cool down. I already maxed out on the treadmill for the incline. I've just recently maxed out on speed as well for walking... and I really can't afford to do running w/o putting impact on my lower back anymore b/c of the speed. On which day I do this depends on when I have my training sessions with my two PT's right now, but lately it's been Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday.

[WeirFan06]

Yeahhhhh.... I pretty much just go in for my lessons, lol... well at least it gets me out of bed in the morning! I'm bronze freeskate and working on pre-juv/silver moves. I don't practice all that much. I've been scolded more than a few times! :oops:

[PattyP]

Oh boy...bad subject...

Right now I'm only skating 3 days a week, if I'm lucky, and usually less than an hour each session. Yes, my coach is complaining. :oops:

I'm running 25-30 miles a week, so I get plenty of cardio. The problem is that my legs are usually too sore to do much off ice jumping...which I really need to do. :giveup:

[looplover]

Wow you guys are good...

...and then there's me...(in middle of Adult Bronze - passed moves, haven't tested FS yet)

Due to a total lack of funds AND having to work 2 jobs I currently only skate twice a week - one for 45 min (w/20 min lesson) and the other for 2 hours (though I rarely stay the whole 2 hours, I admit) :oops:

This is also partially because I have to skate before work in the a.m. and I already get up at 5:30 w/o going skating.

OH TO BE INDEPENDENTLY WEALTHY.

If I were, I'd skate five times a week. I'd be really good, too. :halo:

[Caris]

I started 7 months ago and skate as a hobby that I really enjoy as opposed to seriously. I skate 1.5 - 2hrs per week and am on NISA 1

[RinkRat321]

im not sure what freestyle level i'd techincally be. im working on all my double jumps
in the summer i usually skate 2-3 hours a day for 4-5 days a week
during the school year i do an hour & a half to 2hrs (& sometimes longer if i skate before and after school) for 4-5 days a week
