I skate 2-3 hours a day, 6 days a week, sometimes 7. Then theres off-ice, the gym, cardio, pilates...

6 or 7 days a week from 1-2 hours each time. Plus 4-6 hours a week of teaching.

I only skate three days per week for an hour or two but on my off ice days I participate in ballet, jazz and tap classes. My handsome hubby agreed to take ballroom dancing with me this semester as a Xmas gift!
Now if I can only get him on the ice.

Haven't got a timetable up and running since I became unemployed, since it's been the holidays. I expect I shall skate Sunday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, then Thursday evening (Dance Club) and one of Friday morning, Friday evening or Saturday morning. So up to 5 times a week.

It's possible I'll skate twice on Thursdays, but we'll see....

Ice dancers have lovely big curves!

Monday - 2 hours
Tuesday - 1 hour and 20 minutes
Wednesday - 2 hours and 30 minutes
Thursday - 1 hour and 20 minutes
Friday - 1 hour
Saturday - 1 hour and 20 minutes

9.5 hours a week ... last year it was like 15 hours, but school gets in the way more now lol

Wow, you guys are lucky that you get to skate so much!

Tuesdays: at least 1 hour, sometimes 2
Fridays: 2 hour, sometimes 3

Of course, I was so busy in November-December that I was lucky to skate an hour a week!

I skate an hour each weekday, and 1 1/2 hours on Saturday (which includes a stroking session). I'd skate more if I could, but this little thing called "work" gets in the way .

Oh don't you know it!!!!

I normally skate:
Monday: 6 - 9:30 pm
Wednesday: 6:15 - 7:45 pm
Saturday: 10:45 - 11:45 am (group lesson)

So, 6 hours a week is all I can get in. There's just so little ice time available on weekday evenings, except horribly crowded public sessions.

I try to skate

Wed 45 minutes (lunch break)
Thu 45 minutes + 30 minuts group lesson
Sat 30 mimutes ( public session becomes too crowded after that)
Sun 30 minutes

Only 3 hours a week! I though I skate more than that ... Maybe it's the time I spend on driving confuses me.

When I'm not in school, I usually do an hour and forty minutes in the morning, and about an hour in the afternoon. When I go back school in two weeks, I'll be doing that MWF. Tuesday and Thursday I'll probably be doing an hour and forty minutes in the morning, plus an hour lunchtime public skate. I think I'll be able to start doing Saturday evenings for an hour or so too. I also skate about every other Sunday because that's often when I can get time with my coach. In the summer I do ballet three days a week and go to the gym the other days. Usually I do one or two ballet classes a week during school but I've had to take some time off b/c I'm having knee problems. Hopefully I can start going once a week in a couple of months and do a full schedule this summer, but I don't know.

At minimum two hours per week, including 1/2 hour lesson. On a good week, 6hours per week, although that would include going to public sessions, where the quality of the practice time inreases when the crowds decrease!

Let's see I skate/train on
Ticket ice from 2pm to 3:20pm Wed.'s
Presectional/Section Club Ice 4:20pm to 5:30pm on Thurs.
and Fri. P/S Club Ice 4pm to 4:45pm and then stroking Fri. 4:45pm to 5pm
Skating/Training hours weekly are 3 hours 30 minutes

I then teach on the Junior session from 5pm to 5:45pm
I use to teach Learn to skate on Fri. too from 5:55pm to 7pm
On Sat.'s I teach prehockey from 10am to 11am, Learn to Skate from 11am to 12pm and CanSkate from 12pm to 1pm.
Teaching hours not including Fri. Learn to Skate which I don't do anymore = 3 hours 45 minutes.

Sometimes I crash public skating at one of the Windsor rinks or at Tecumseh Arena (at Tecumseh Arena I'm allowed to do what ever I please so long as I look out for the non-figure skaters and small ones) When I do crash public skatin, it's for 1 and half to 2 hours at a time.

It varies a bit, I usually go only 2x per week, sometimes 3x. Sometimes it's like this:

Monday - either 3-4, 4-5, or 11-1:00
Friday - 3-4, OR 4-5, OR 11-1

Other weeks it's kinda like this:

Tuesday - 3:25-5
and/or
Thursday - 3:25-5

Sometimes I go on Wednesday, between 11-1.

Wish I could go more, but the 2 rinks I frequent are 30-40 miles away and my mom doesn't like to go more than 2-3x per wk., and I don't drive myself.
I definitely won't be going tomorrow (Mon) 'cause our dog is having surgery tomorrow on his leg (a skin tumor).
Soon I'll be re-starting lessons, probably Thursdays.

Well, since testing and competitions are coming up, my schedule (for at least the next three months) is
Monday: 4(5)-6 pm
Tuesday: 3-5 pm
Wednesday: 4(5)-6 pm
Friday: 4(5)-6 pm
Saturday: 8-10 am

And for the week before the test: Sunday: 7:45-9:45 am

Mostly, my schedule depends on my University schedule and varies depending on how quickly I can get out of class, changed, and to my car.
