Good evening all.

Back in my younger days, like my late 20's I learned to ice skate and did 
it about once per week at the Berkeley Iceland (?). I have no idea if the 
rink still exists. Anyway, ice skating wearing figure skates (single blade) 
supposedly helped to strengthen the ankles because one needed strong ankles 
in combination with the boots to keep sideways balance over the blade. 
Don't know if this otherwise helped one's balance in anything but skating; 
but I learned to keep my ankles straight and my weight balance over the blade.

FWIW
