Check with your training rink to see if they offer any specialty classes, such as Weight/Resistance Training, Ballet, Stretch Class, or something of that sort. Chances are if you are with a skating club they will offer those. One thing that they used to make years ago was called a skate spinner, used to practice spin centering off the ice, which helps with both spins and jumps. I loved it. I bought mine at a competition, but if they don't make them anymore, I'm sure you could find one online. It was only about twenty dollars.
Edit: I just realized that you just started crossovers. What I have suggested I didn't start until I began jumping. The ballet may be your best bet as of now to help with balance and coordination.What are some good off ice figure skating training for beginner skaters?
Stretches, strech your legs and back. Do lots of squats and lunges. Make sure your knee does not get in front of your foot. Jumping jacks, do at least 30 or 40 reps. Crunches or sit ups. Do some push ups or try to hold a plank for like, a minute or as long as you can. Run, running is always good. Try jump roping. It helps a lot! Bend your knees a lot and strenghten your calves. Try to touch your toes or go farther. This will sound bad but pop lock and drop it 30 times to strengthen your calves and thighs. Hope I help!
if u try doing ballet or gymnastics it is good but if u have a high wall somewhere u can put ur foot up on den u could tuch ur toes and put u head on ur knee it works it will b sore 4 da first wile but u will get used to it after a while

Go to www.sk8strong.com for off-ice training information
Ballet really helps so does music lessons once you get a routine.
Walk backwards with your bum sticking out.
