Are there any health benefits gained from inline skating?
Absolutely! You can get all of the aerobic benefits of running or jogging, without the pounding that goes along with running and jogging. The absence of this pounding makes inline skating much less stressful on your knees and other joints. Also, you can significantly increase the intensity of the aerobic benefits of inline skating by continually swinging your arms in concert with your legs. To get the maximum aerobic workout it is worth stating that you must keep moving coasting will diminish the cardio benefits of inline skating. Another health benefit of inline skating that should not be overlooked is your body’s exposure to fresh air and sunshine. In todays culture, most people spend too much time cooped up indoors. Inline skating offers an escape from the daily (indoor) grind, and provides the fresh air and sunshine that your body needs.
