Inline Skates
Inline skates are great aerobic exercise! Get your heart rate up and your lungs working. Increase the aerobic benefits by skating up a hill, skating faster, or using interval training principles. Inline skates make aerobic exercise fun while it improves your cardiovascular system, which reduces your risk of heart disease, stroke, and high blood pressure.
While you have fun with your inline skates, you get anaerobic benefits, too. Strengthen and tone your muscles in your lower body, core, and even in your upper body. Long leg strides, posture maintenance, and swinging your arms get your entire body involved in this engaging exercise.
Inline skating helps with your balance, precisely dynamic balance, while your body is moving. You can challenge your balance, agility, and coordination with inline skating skills. Learn more advanced skills on your inline skates, like skating backwards, inline hockey, crossover turns, aggressive skating, and inline yoga!
Because inline skates impact your posture, your abdominal and back extensor muscles get a great workout. With every push and glide, you activate your core to support your entire body for greater stability.
Inline skating at 10mph burns about 6 calories every minute, 360 calories per hour. It also transforms your fat into muscle at the same time. You can burn even more calories by skating faster, too!
And inline skating has enhancing bone density benefits because it is a weight-bearing activity, with minimal impact on joints because of the smooth push and glide motions.

Inline Skating Safety Tips It is always safer to wear a helmet and full protective gear while inline skating. Safety gear includes: A Specialised Helmet for Inline Skates There are helmets specifically designed for inline skating and skateboarding. They reach down lower in the back, towards the base of your skull. This provides better protection in backward falls. Check to make sure your helmet fits right. And always, always fasten the chin straps under your chin snugly, so your helmet doesn’t slide around.
Inline Skates
Make sure your inline skates feel comfortable to wear and that you have good ankle support. Feel the boot’s plastic. If it is easy to squeeze, the material is not strong enough to give you sufficient support. And, of course, always buckle up your inline skates!
Protective Gear
You can prevent scrapes and cushion your falls with knee pads, elbow pads, and wrist guards. Gloves keep your hands and fingers safe, too. Many inline skaters wear a mouthguard to help protect teeth and mouth in a crash or fall. A selection of high-quality protective gear is available here at Eazyro.com.
When you first learn to inline skate, practice in an open space like an empty parking lot, unused tennis court, or smooth pavement near grass, which gives you a softer place to fall! Later on, try out an indoor or outdoor inline skating rink. Once you’re comfortable at the inline skating rink, check out a skate park or trail.
Always stay alert while you inline skate outdoors. Don’t listen to music! Skate in the daylight, with a friend, when possible. Use rec trails, avoiding roads and sidewalks as much as possible. And never skate in traffic.
