Did You Know?
Studies have shown that roller skating provides a complete aerobic
workout and involves all of the body's muscles, especially the heart.
Roller skating is equivalent to
jogging in terms of health benefits-caloric consumption,
reduction of body fat, and leg strength development.
Roller skating is recognized and
recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) as
an aerobic fitness sport.
Just one hour of moderate roller
skating burns 330 calories for a 143-pound person. If
that same person roller skates vigorously, he or she
will burn up to 590 calories in an hour.
