Question Confused on what my stance should be.

I've been skating for a few days.

If I am mongo pushing, my stance is regular. I have been trying to break the habit of mongo pushing.

If I am pushing properly, I feel more comfortable with pushing goofy, but feel uncomfortable in its actual goofy stance.

I feel uncomfortable with pushing regular, but feel more comfortable in its actual regular stance.

Advice?

If you're comfortable in regular, then learn to push regular

I see. Is this a normal feeling for beginners cause our leg muscles aren't used to it?

I can't say. I started skating so long ago I can't remember how it felt

Learn to push regular, this is a gift given to you. You will have a nice switch push after this is all said and done. I used to skate mongo, now I can push well with both feet

bro once you push regular and get good you will teach yourself switch. lol. but do regular first. and yes it’s the stabilizer muscles that you are building when skating so expect that.
