Flashback to the 70s and 80s where one of the favorite pastimes was heading to the local roller skating
rink, lacing up your roller skates and spending hours skating along and jamming to your favorite tune!
As the time passed you didn’t give a thought to how many calories you burned and chances are you didn’t glance at your watch to check how many minutes you had left to go. Those were the days…
Now that the bell-bottoms are gone, the larger than life afros are a thing of the past and disco is no more. Can we ever get back to that carefree attitude about fitness?
The answer is yes!
The new roller rink is on the beach. Take a trip to your local beach (Santa Monica or Venice are great spots), strap on some rollerblades, turn your IPod up and start skating till the music stops!
Rollerblading on the beach is a retro fitness activity that can get you out of your workout slump. The smooth, coordinated movement required is a low impact activity that you can do for 45 minutes or more that has numerous benefits.
- The intensity is perfect for maximizing fat burning potential
- The balance required will challenge your core
- The lower body endurance challenge is perfect for sculpting beautiful thighs and a fabulous butt
