Besides giving a great aerobic workout, in-line skating also helps you get long and lean legs and tones your rear in no time. In?line skating is one of the best forms of exercise for toning the muscles in your legs and buttocks. It burns about 400 calories an hour, but is less stressful on your joints and organs than high?impact exercises like running. It?s a great aerobic exercise because you can get your heart rate up for a long time. It helps tone your core body, because your abs and back are engaged even when you?re just standing there balancing on skates. Start with low-grade bearing (the grade of the ball bearings inside the wheels controls the speed of the skate). The lower the grade, the slower the skate; and that?s good thing for beginners.
Speedy, high-grade bearings are harder to control, especially when stepping up on a kerb or going downhill. Once you get the hang of the low-grade bearings, you can move up.
