Ice Skating As a Cardiovascular Activity/Ice Skating as Exercise

Did you know that ice skating on a regular basis can help reduce your risks of cardiovascular diseases?

Ice skating is a great form of exercise that increases your body’s flexibility and endurance with very low impact. At Ice Den you can ice skate all year long without having to worry about the weather! So, why not take advantage of our top-rated skating facility and get a total body workout while having fun at the same time?

Check our public skating schedule, learn-to-skate programs, youth hockey, figure skating, adult hockey or adult open hockey to find the ice skating program that is right for you.

Benefits of ice skating on a regular basis:

  • Better body weight management because you burn calories as you skate on the ice
  • A great cardiovascular workout with less stress on your knees and other joints
  • It boosts your cardio-vascular system which helps to reduce your risks of diseases like obesity, hypertension and diabetes
  • Ice Skating improves your balance and agility, and builds character
  • It is a great way to tone your leg muscles, specifically the quadriceps and hamstrings and your arm muscles when you swing them as you skate

Come and join us regularly during our public skating sessions and simply ice skate around in circles. You’ll get your workout and if you bring along a skating partner, you can socialize at the same time. Or, come learn to skate professionally or for fun and play hockey too!

Ice Den has a variety of ice skating options for you to explore and find the one that fits your exercise needs
