Skating — whether on rollerblades or inline skates — is a great way to combine cardio with balance and leg strength. FitnessTracker recommends it as a low-impact, high-fun option for improving endurance and coordination.
Instructions
- Lace up your skates and wear proper protective gear, including a helmet, wrist guards, and pads.
- Practice the basics first: turning, stopping, and coasting.
- For steady-state cardio, skate at a comfortable pace for 20–30 minutes.
- For an interval workout, skate hard for 2 minutes, then coast for 3, and repeat.
- Focus on fluid movement and maintaining control throughout your session.
