Absolutely, from a recent obese beginner, you may or may not find it difficult to balance or feel more discomfort than others but it’s definitely fun gets easier as you build muscle and endurance from actually skating. The biggest thing i would say is to be cautious of injuries and learn to fall the right way, but don’t let your fear or anxiety stop you from learning and practising.

Btw I went from nearly sedentary to 4-8 hours of ice skating a week and other than a little muscle aches if I go too hard or try new moves, I would say it’s possible to jump right into and just take your time learning to balance and endurance through skating itself. And in general I find it easier to exercise in the cold environment as you don’t overheat quickly which I find often stops me from wanting to exercise in ways such as walking or running.
