As I was surfing the net I came across one of those websites that lets you submit your questions and “the public” can answer them for you. The title of this particular question was “Is Roller Skating a Good Form of Exercise?” Intrigued, I clicked and found answers such as…
Absolutely! It builds leg, back, thigh, butt and ab muscles….not to mention the cardio!
Study after study have found that roller skating is a great source of exercise and is recommended by the American Heart Association.
Instead of going out for a run, try dusting off your skates and see what a 30 min skate can do for you! One of my favorite ways to skate is at a skating rink, it has air conditioning, great music, and even better if you invite a friend or two along!

I completely agree about fitness from skating. I had both my knees replaced and was limited to riding a bike. I decided to try skating for fitness, since it was low impact on my knees. I soon found out I lacked the talent to balance myself while skating. I did not want to give up, and developed the skaters coach. I can now skate up to 3 miles, but safely. I cannot afford to fall or be injured again, and the skaters coach helps me with balance, stability, and safety while skating. I hope our product helps you with your encouragement for skating fitness.
Our product is not for everyone, but it does provide the ability for people like me to get outdoors and enjoy all the benefits from skating.
