Benefits of Inline Skating
Improves Dynamic Balance, Coordination, & Agility- Inline skating is about dynamic balance, or balance while your body is in motion.
Increases Core Strength- Postural, abdominal, and back extensor muscles, get a great workout while inline skating.
Builds Aerobic Exercise Benefits- Inline skating increases your heart rate and gets your lungs working, both components in aerobic exercise.
Builds Anaerobic Exercise Benefits- Inline skating provides anaerobic benefits, such as muscle strengthening and toning.
Weight Loss and Maintenance- Inline skating at 10mph on a regular basis not only burns about 6 calories a minute, or 360 calories an hour, but also turns fat into muscle - a double benefit.
Low Impact Exercise- While skating has the bone density enhancing benefits of being a weight bearing activity, the smooth push and glide motion has minimal impact on the joints.
Increases Self-Confidence- Probably the greatest fitness benefit of all is that inline skating is fun.
