It may not officially be winter, but it is officially cold outside. Which means, it’s time to go ice skating! Ice skating is fun, but it’s also a workout. It’s one of the more enjoyable cold weather activities even if you’re not a trained Olympic figure skater (you’ll dream of trying out for the team in 2022 after your done though). Pro tip: if you fall, try to land on your bottom as to not injure your wrists or your face!
