]]> In the past two years or so, roller skating has absolutely exploded in popularity, with many people discovering it during the coronavirus pandemic as a fun outdoor activity that can be done safely while social distancing. It also happens to be a great workout, which is wonderful for people who no longer have access to (or don’t want to go to) a gym. Here are three reasons why roller skating is so good for your fitness.

It Works Your Heart

Roller skate outside for just a few minutes and you’ll feel how much of a cardiovascular workout it can be, especially if you’re skating at even the slightest incline. You’ll be able to keep your heart rate right around that sweet spot of 50-70% of your maximum, which offers the best aerobic benefits.

It Works Your Legs

Roller skating is one of the best ways to strengthen and sculpt your leg muscles, as it involves what is essentially endless squatting and pushing with your glutes, quads, and calves.

It’s Easy On Your Body

Unlike many other forms of cardio and leg exercise, roller skating doesn’t involve impact the way that running or jumping does. That means that it’s much easier on your body, especially if you have injuries or knee issues.

]]> Roller skating has exploded in popularity recently, which is very exciting for you if you’re a new roller skater getting to know this fun, freeing, joyful hobby. But before you get too far on those skates, here are some safety rules that you should always follow that’ll help you avoid injury.

Gear Up

You might feel a little bit silly wearing safety gear out to skate, but it’s better than breaking a bone or getting a concussion, which unfortunately does happen all the time. At the very least, we recommend going out in a helmet, knee pads, and wrist guards.

Get Low

When roller skating, it’s really important to bend your knees and keep your center of gravity low. That way, if you fall, you’ll fall forward onto your (protected) knees instead of onto your tailbone, and you’ll be closer to the floor so your fall won’t be as scary.

Keep Your Core Tight

Roller skating requires a lot of balance and body control, and it’s much easier to do those things when your core is tight. (Bonus pro tip: keep your glutes tight too for even more strength and power.)

Drink Water

Sometimes roller skating can be so fun that hours will pass and you don’t even realize you’ve been squatting and exercising for the past few hours. So don’t forget to drink water to replenish your fluids as you skate! This is a workout, after all.

]]> If you’re the type who loves to exercise by doing actual activities like swimming and sports rather than just pumping iron in a gym or running on a treadmill, then you’ll love roller skating as a workout. Because even though this retro pastime is mostly coming back into fashion as a fun form of self-expression, it’s actually a fantastic workout.

Why It’s Awesome

First, roller skating is a full-body workout for your muscles, especially your quads and glutes. It works your core, your arms, and your lower body all in one.

And it’s also fantastic cardio. Whether you’re tearing it up at the skatepark or riding around outside, roller skating is a sure-fire way to get your heart rate up.

Fun and Exciting

And, best of all, it’s so fun that you won’t even feel like you’re exercising. If you bring music and set goals like learning new tricks or skating a particular trail, you’ll get into a place of flow that makes time fly by and you won’t even realize that you’ve just been working out for an hour or two.

So go ahead and get yourself a pair of roller skates and try them on for size. You might just find your new favorite hobby and workout all wrapped in one.
