l am a figure skater and everyone tells me im really good and could go far.
Does anyone have off ice training excercises , diet plans or other sports that would aid my figure skating!

Also is weight a very important factor in figure skating as all my figure skating friends are very skinny and im 14 and around 10 stone and wear size 8-10.

Ideas on how l can improve, besides practice? (detailed results please)

gymnastics, ballet, dance.
and synchro and ice dancing,

NO MCDONALDS. EVER.

but what level are you in?
and how long have you been skating?

cause if your one of those people who is skated for one or two years and then goes on and on about how amazing they are you need to just get your head out of the clouds and go practice.

well lol lots of protein is good (chicken etc) salads r good but go for italian dressing umm water is good when u r not training but propel is good during practice bc it replaces electrolytes no pop!! lots of fruit yogurt granola stay away from fast food salads r ok if u have no other choice definetly stay away from too much dairy & fatty foods (fried foods, ice cream, noooo chocolate etc) peanut butter is good just basically healthy foods but in reality u can eat anything u want as long as its in moderation

try taking ballet or pilates off ice to increase ur flexibility, carriage & strength i'm sure theres some kind of off ice classes offered at a rink near u or even some place like fitworks take advantage of that

ask ur coach what u as a skater need specifically i'm sure ur coach will have some input for u !!

Good Luck :)

In order to do that, you need to eat healthy. No fast food or junk food or too much sweets. You need to work out every day at a gym, or at home. No sitting around in the tv all day. Ballet helps, because it is almost the same moves as figure skating.

Try yoga- it will not only help you with the flexibility and smoothness of your movements on the ice, its teachings of concentration and breathing will help you, especially if you are a competitive figure skater, for once you master the yoga practice, you will find that your focus will not be lost easily and more energy to land those triple loops and jumps.
Food- Water=extremely important, spinach- help digestive system, tofu! refrain from excessive indulgence of meat

well it depends on ur skating:
but this is good for everyone l guess. but if ur working on single jumps, u dont have to work as hard.
work on splits & off-ice jumping. (your coach can tell u what u r allowed to jump & how many rotations) also run, ride bikes, & even just walk to maintain u muscles.

at 14 ur diet should be healthy concious but DON'T go on a diet. Eat regularly portioned meals. never over never under.
if u r starting bigger jumps like doubles & triples than u want to be of a slimmer weight to jump off the ground. u can do that by physical activity.

figure skating needs muscle & flexibility so incorperate both into ur workout.

im 14 too :D

Take ballet lessons, take pilates, get an off ice instructor, get a skating diet from your off ice instructor, take yoga, train daily.

Everything l do right there

Well ''Good & could go far'' could mean anything, so l do not really know what advice to give you. l will give u an idea of what l do, & l am 13, skinny, & l am working on all my doubles minus double axel, & have landed 2sal, 2loop, 2flip (once) & 2toe.

Off Ice:

Jump exercises: l do axels, double axels, plain rotations from two feet. l can do two easily, l am working on three.

Trampoline: l do rotation on here also. NOT LANDING ON ONE FOOT BECAUSE IT KILLS KNEES. l am working on my quad on the trampoline. l also do things like handsprings because they r fun :D

Stretching: l do spirals, splits, & other contortion stuff. If u r not flexible DON'T go mad, just work yourself into it. Splits took me a whole year, so do not give up after a month.

Strength: l do abs work, also squats & holding planks.

Yoga. Pilates. Ballet.

Swimming also helps train muscles.

Healthy Diet: Really, just watch what u eat. It is not difficult when u get in the habit of it.

On Ice: Do not just work on spins, or just jumps, etc. Make sure u work evenly on all aspects of skating, & try to improve ur speed, flow, & line.

And obviously, if u r at a lower level than me, do not do as much, unless u really want to.

Ballet, Gymnastics, and a lot of stretching and exercise. it is good to bike ride everyday to get strength in your legs, maybe just run for a while everyday. try to have sugar only once or twice a week.
