Roller skating is actually one of the best aerobic exercises which involves most of the body’s muscles, being especially good for the heart. Roller skating for just one hour can burn between 300 and 600 calories!

Joint-friendly
Skating causes 50% less impact on your joints than jogging, with the same health benefits. With skating, you won’t experience ankle and knee issue because your feet won’t repeatedly hit the ground. Skating is a much more fluid activity that can actually strengthen your muscles, knees, ankles and hips.

All-in-One Exercise
Roller skating involves most of the major muscle groups. Legs and glutes through various rotation movements; arms, core and lower-back muscles through balancing body during movement. It’s also great for improving coordination and agility.

Good Mood
It’s hard being in a bad mood when you’re skating with friends (or by yourself!), lights and music. Skating will enhance mental clarity and strengthen the mind-body connection, making you relaxed and stress-free.
