I started when I was 26 - oh so long ago. And I structed for a couple of years in my Ski Club.
#1. get knee pads. Buy skateboard ones which you can fit on the outside of your ski pants. One of the "natural" rest positions is kneeling.
#2. Take lessons. The balance is "forward/backward", not side to side like skiing.
#3. It is _less_ dangerous than skiing, despite what the others say.
Exercises. Similar to skiiing. Deep knee bends. for sure.
Practice rolling from the balls of your feet to standing on "tip toe". Do this in sneakers. As you move to your toes, scrunch your toes into your foot (Like making a fist with your foot). When you roll on your heel, stretch your foot out like you are stretching and spreading your fingers.
Are you right handed or left handed?
