About strengthening the legs thing... In "White Boots" by Noel Streatfeild (of "Ballet Shoes" fame - "White Boots" is called something "Shoes" in the US, I think.... ), the book actually starts by the main character being told by her doctor that she should take up skating after her legs were still not strong after a lengthy illness. I believe the book was written in the '50s? I'm not sure this has anything to do with... well... anything, but it occurred to me now, anyway.
