The Great Equipment

Introduction

Have you always wanted to do something in the summer or any other season that is hot and you want to get good exercise and stay cool at the same time? Then try ice skating! It’s a great place where you could have a great time. Now this book is going to teach you how to ice skate and what equipment you need but best of all you get to be a pro at it so that way if you go ice skating with a family member or a friend you could teach them. The best part about this book is that you get to learn some pretty awesome moves. Did you know that ice skating is the most active sport because you’re heart is pumping and that means that you’re body is getting pumped also. Before you start ice skating make sure you eat a healthy breakfast like yogurt with blueberries or with granola. Maybe you want a banana. 

I hope you enjoy my book.

The Great Equipment-

First you’re going to need a few things before you begin ice skating. Ok, this is what you need. If you want to ice skate you’re going to have to find an ice skating rink. Rink means that it’s where  there’s a lot of flat ice that you skate on. You’re going to go into the place to sign in. Then tell the people who work there the foot size you are. After they’ll give you skates and you need to tie your shoes tightly or if you tie them lose then it’s going to come undone while you’re ice skating and you could get started. Skates are boots with blades on the bottom of them.  Now you need one more material. If you’re a beginner you’re aloud to use these orange cones. They can help you for just in case you are a little scared and you’re afraid that you’re going to get injured but you’re not. If you want a help, there’s a wall that you could use because lots of people use the orange cones. You should wear proper clothes like clothes that are flexible but whatever you do don’t wear jeans because if you fall on the WET ice then your pants will be wet and it will sink inside of your pants. It’s ok if you fall because it doesn’t hurt.
