Well... The last 2 weeks I skated 2 or 3 times per week plus my lesson, that is an improvement from skating just once and the lesson during the summer.
The only thing that I can report is that my muscles get quite tired, but still not as tired as when I used to stop skating for weeks to months. It is what it is... I know it will get better. I have not much to report about the skating, I think I mostly maintain what I have, but I think I understand better some technique points, and I will be able to control my body better and be quicker, as my muscles get stronger
I've also found a once per week yoga class very close to my home. It is a pretty athletic class so that adds to the muscle hurting but also, hopefully to the muscle conditioning.
