[quote=Anonymous]As you get older, you learn slower, especially physical activities that require you to change the way your muscle memory works. So, learning to move on skates is different and your body is used to how to move from how you walk or run normally. I learned both roller skating and ice skating as a child and then did not do it again for about 30 years until I had kids. I found that the skills returned relatively fast, but even just relearning skills, I went slower than my kids did learning fresh as elementary aged children. But it does require learning to move differently. If are athletic and you have learned/adjusted for other athletics, you'll learn faster than those of us who don't do much physical activity beyond walking and running. Kudos for getting out there and learning new skills and give yourself a break. Take pride in learning and progressing however long it takes.[/quote]
