Both indoor and outdoor roller skating are great ways to burn calories. Skating is a cardiovascular activity. It gets the heart working harder, it works up a sweat, and if you skate regularly and follow a healthy diet, you’ll soon see the fat melt away.
Roller skating helps improve balance with the strength of abdominal and lower-back muscles, since you must maintain a steady core to stay upright. Coordinating balance and leg movement improves coordination. Soon you'll start learning new tricks and techniques wich will make you even better! The more you skate the more you will see that you can do stuff more easily and for a longer period of time, that's because roller skating is an endurance-building sport!
Roller sports help flex and firm up a number of areas including your abs, glutes, thighs, and also calves.
Best part of roller skating is that you don't realize you are actually exercising and that is the best feeling! Besides, just like other forms of exercise you release endorphins, the hormone that makes you happy 😊
Many people like roller skating in a rink with others, but it can be done outside on the street, on a paved trail or skateparks, anywhere with a smooth, steady surface.
There are groups online where you can find skating friends and roll around the city or skateparks. Alternatively, you can always look for classes depending on what you like!
