]]>Granted, not all of us are going to be board-wielding athletes, but that doesn’t mean we can’t learn a few tricks. One of the best things about skateboarding is that it’s open to all ages—if you can stand, you can skate!
The key to skating smoothly is the ability to alter your movement in rhythm with the board. As a result, it’s a fantastic way to practice hand, eye, leg, and foot coordination. It also trains the brain on how to think fast and make quick decisions.
It may seem simple to just stand on a skateboard and zoom down the street, but there are actually loads of muscles that are being used. Maintaining correct balance while on the board requires the use of muscles in the core, quads, glutes, hamstrings, and calves.
Not only does skateboarding benefit your physical health, but it’s also wonderful for your mental health, too. The activity teaches perseverance, patience, and how to overcome the fear of pain, and is an excellent stress reliever.

Probably the most important thing you can do is to strengthen your joints and the areas around them, specifically your ankles, knees, and hips because they’re what absorb a lot of your shock when you land a jump. When doing these, make sure to warm up and do dynamic stretches, as well as static stretches after the workout. These will help you with flexibility and will make sure you don’t shock your joints.
Jumping
For higher jumps, you’ll want to practice jumping exercises as well as core strengthening. Having a strong core will help keep you balanced and straight while jumping bodyweight exercises will, as you might expect, simply help you get used to working the muscles you’ll use in jumps and help you jump higher and practice longer.
Cardio
Finally, cardio is a great way to build stamina. You probably already know that skateboarding does give you some cardio, judging by the fact that you might be out of breath after a session. So to give yourself longer sessions, and to allow yourself to do more intense tricks without getting too tired, some time on a treadmill or in an aerobics class isn’t a bad idea.

]]>Skateboarding is a great activity if you want to stay in great physical shape. It helps in the development of different types of leg, back, and even abdomen muscles. Your abdomen must work hand in hand with the back muscles in order to hold the spine—thereby maintaining balance on the skateboard.
When skating, you are moving every part of our body, in all sorts of different directions. Feet, legs, and arms, they are all working together to push you further. Now think about all the tricks you might do throughout a day of skating.
Skateboarding is a great physical activity for relieving stress. You must focus onto your moves, and if you ride it on the streets, you must think about the traffic, as well. Skating helps you feel more relaxed and it’s an exercise that is fun.
Try it and see for yourself!
