Besides the countless falls because of them as a little kid, when I think of roller skates the first thing that comes to my mind today is the video for Chet Faker’s hit song “Gold”. The dance the girls perform while roller skating so freely and elegantly is just a piece of sport art, sort to say. It’s only natural to assume that they do this professionally, right? I mean, if you or me tried it, we would probably need like a year of practice before we reach any significant success point. Another thing that you’re inevitably going to notice is how sculpted their bodies look. Now, I believe they do an envious amount of bodybuilding and fitness, but the mere fact that they spend so much time on the skates is more than enough for me to ask a very logical question: can roller skating really help you shape legs like those?! Apparently, it can. So start searching for roller skates for sale because this summer we’re all going to be doing a different kind of sport for a ripped body.
Along with being fun and a very pleasant group activity which you can do with your friends, roller skating can help you shape a body that makes heads turn and has a great number of health benefits. With that being said, I really don’t know why would you think about doing it twice; start hunting for roller skates for sale and start thinking about your roller skating outfits because hey, you should look fancy too, right?
Aerobic at its finest
Yes, you’ll sweat, but not as much as if you were in a sweaty gym with hundred other people breathing and sweating. Not so pleasant. But reaping similar benefits in the beauty of a park breathing fresh air? That’s a lot more appealing and attractive idea. While roller skating, you’ll get a full body workout that will perfectly exercise your cardiovascular system, contributing to better blood circulation and a higher physical condition level. The amount of calories burned is another amazing advantage: skating for a full hour burns between 300 and 600 calories.
Strength development
By nature, the larger percentage of female population in the world have a very fragile body construction. But that doesn’t mean they can’t be strong and develop their muscles to hold a better body position. Roller skating is among the best ways to strengthen the thighs, hips, butt and calf muscles because in order to move forward and maintain balance while on the wheels, you need to work with your legs. With time, you will get the results: perfectly strong and sculpted legs just like the girls in the video!
Balance and endurance
Roller skating is all about balance. When you get on those wheels, the thing you need to be able to maintain is your straight position with your core and your arms. That means you will need to work your upper body in order to keep the balance. With a solid and strong enough upper body, you also develop agility and a good sense of coordination. Endurance is another advantage of roller skating; your muscles get trained to use the energy your body stores in the form of fat, which ultimately results in the perfect cellulite-free body.
Finally, it makes you feel good in so many ways
All forms of exercise are good for your mood because they allow you to see yourself in a different light: you’re doing something amazing for your body. Plus, the levels of all happiness hormones go sky high which makes it impossible for you not to change your face from sad, cranky and miserable into smiling, glowing and cheerful. Healthy and happy? Yes, the power of roller skating.
