My favorite exercise is typically going on walks but I'm now learning to skate and that is absolutely becoming my favorite. I think the reason I like both goes hand in hand - there's something very peaceful about being able to walk or cruise and just lose yourself in your surroundings. I love listening to music while doing it and just being able to reset mentally.
really cool to hear about the girl that broke her legs and used roller skating to help build up muscle again! I found myself in a wheelchair all of last year and didn't expect that I'd ever walk again, but my health turned around the last couple months and i've decided to start skating. It was on my list of things I'd take up if I ever found myself able to walk again 😊 I'm so excited!!
Omg this makes me so happy to hear! I’m sorry you had to go through that, I wish you luck on your roller skating journey and hope it brings you joy 🛼❤️
So right about your mental state while skating my father had a heart attack, I got my first pair of skates within the same week. I was going through a lot my dog had also just passed away and it was my birthday! I put on those skates during all of this skated all day on my birthday and all that week at the tennis court with my husband and I just cant explain how much it helped me mentally during those times!
I have weight lifted for around 7 years, but recently my favorite exercise is to lift and then go outside and skate! Can do upper body, then lower on skates!! Love it
My favourite skating exercise is doing bubbles backwards and forwards. I'm still learning, and I find it settles me down and gives me more confidence on my skates
Skates are also good weight-bearing therapy for leg bone strengthening, to help not get osteoporosis in older age. My outdoor skates each weigh 1.6 kilos, 3.5 pounds, which is quite heavy.
I was just thinking about starting a 365 skate every day challenge and this video popped up in my feed. I'm gonna take that as a sign that yes I should start it! My favorite exercises are skating at the rink on Sundays and at the tennis courts during the week, hiking, hula hooping (learning lol), and doing Ginger's dance classes on Mondays!
Each person has different abilities, so lemme give you the idea that you can do a modified 365 days of sk8, where people can do a rest day, and just continue with the next day next time they sk8. Just wanted to remind you that it’s ok to rest sometimes, cuz I found that taking a few days off during my period was what my body needed, and I had been ignoring that. Went to the sk8park next time, and got some new tricks that I had been stuck on for a while.
I love going to my local rink and doing a few artistic moves while letting the music move me! I love the feeling of flying around the rink, using the wall and practicing my balance skating. I'm 50 and love receiving compliments from the kids and teens! I bought the shirt, Indy!
I have been suffering for years and only just recently learned I have an anterior pelvic tilt. I lost 80 pounds through a variety of things, but these last two and a half months on wheels have been PIVOTAL in my pain relief. When I started, I was on ski poles and I had to pre-load on NSAIDS before rink nights. Now I can skate several days in a row without knee pain, I'm out here dropping it low (the bring up is still slow but hey it's progress), and where my right hip was always tight feels considerably better after my sessions. I can also feel where my quads and hams are reactivated, which is better for my pilates game. And getting better in that game makes my skating game better. My only regret is that I ever stopped skating in the first place. Returning at 50 wasn't/isn't easy. Not to mention the mental health benefits - This fall weather on the East Coast right now? Late afternoon skates with the breeze in your face and the tunes in your ears? It honestly gets no better.
My favorite exercise is simply feeling the wind in my hair and gliding through space on my roller skates. I love to dance so I enjoy practicing roller dance moves!
I'm learning to skate again after several years. I'm 50+ and not 20 anymore, but skating has given me a new found joy. I haven't been able to pravtice daily since buying my new skates a few weeks ago, BUY I'm getting better every time. The freedom I feel, wind in my hair, just makes me wanna float. Thank you for this video.😊
I have been skating since I was about 5 years old (37 now), I had a difficult childhood but I feel like skating helped me escape reality. Very meditative like you said and helps greatly with anxiety. On top of that, a great workout!
I have a row machine and dumb bells that i have been using for awhile now. But I recently just started roller skating again and am loving it cause it gets me outside.
M’y favorite exercise is skating with my hubby ! I’m still sort of a beginner so I just love to watch some of your videos before and try it right after on my skates. When I succeed in something, when it clicks, there’s not better feeling in the world !
Hi Indy, Love the new merch! I have two outdoor routes near home I love that are always my staples each week for skating exercise, they place me along the ocean. My happy place. I keep my skates in my car now and as soon as I see the chance I get them on just anywhere. I’m no longer worried what anyone else may think. Skating makes me happy and my favourite exercise is finding challenging surfaces where I need to quickly lift my feet, jump and focus; once I hit a smooth surface, I just mentally feel free and, I smile. 🌸
I use a tracker for my roller skating and I've always wondered this myself. There are skate days that I skate for an 1h and I end up with like 193 burned calories for 6miles and other days for the same time and distance I burned 765 calories. I don't do anything different. Why is the that? Why is the tracker soooo off? What is the real calorie burn?
I haven’t been able to find a good skating tracker yet. I wear a Garmin Venu, and it will randomly start auto activity tracking when I’ve been rink skating for an hour or so. All I know is that I work up a good sweat and get the endorphins pumping during a session, so I’m going to call it a success. LOL ✌🏼💜🛼
My fav exercise is a toss-up between living room dance party and gymnastics. I agree with you in that exercise should be fun! It should be viewed as play like when we were kids. The worst thing I did after high school was to think I should stop training in gymnastics, stop rollerblading, and living that joy of play. PS I love that you included the mental health aspect of it! My therapist said "moderate exercise 30 minutes/day 4-5x/week is just as good if not better than antidepressants." Later skater✌🏻
My favorite exercise on skates is street skating! I just love being able to get out and see new places and people. The different terrains help me keep my balance and my mind focused. It’s such a great therapy/getaway from the everyday life! 🙌🏽♥️
I had an ankle trauma and my calf muscles on one leg were kinda dead for a while, rollerskating totally helped to build the muscle back up! Skating is amazing!😍
I have been doing at home HIIT workouts and indoor cycling for the last year and a half. I was so stoked to get into roller skating and now that I’ve got my skates I find myself skating more and doing less of my ‘regular’ routine. This is going to sound crazy but thank you for making this video and validating skating as good exercise! I am fully aware it is indeed a physical activity and I even track my skate sessions on my Apple Watch and burn just under 300 cals every time I go out. It’s all just changing your routine and figuring out what works for you. So safe to say roller skating is my favorite exercise atm lol
My favourite exercise on skates is ramp skating. I especially like pumping or even learning how to skate backwards as I am not thorough with that yet. I have been skating for a year or so, and as far as i know, it's a great exercise and a fun activity to get you pumped up.
Hi, my favorite exercise to do on roller skating is pole dancing. I'm obsessed! I keep my beach bunnies on all day at home. I mop, vaccuum, bake breads... you name it, I do it in skates💚🤘🏻
I’m obsessed with jumping, still remember how AWESOME I felt the first time I successfully 180 jumped from forward to backwards (and vice versa.) Jumping in succession always gets my heart rate up.
I have TRD treatment resistant depression so exercise is crucial to my mental health. I used to roller skate as a child and I remember how happy it made me. I started back a few months ago and my favorite thing to do is put in my earbuds and let the music take me where it may.
I've mostly been walking lots... I have 4 smaller dogs and they need the outside time too. We walk 3 to 5 miles a day together, in a total of 4 times out during the day. When I was young, I roller skated like a crazy girl... all the time and on those scary metal skates that you attach to shoes. I'm getting back into it now and I'm looking forward to getting to that relaxed flow state. I remember that from running, which I enjoyed for many years, until I became concerned about a hip joint. Nice video, Indy, it's inspiring to see someone so enthused about a sport. It's FINALLY cooling off in the central valley of California and we are entering some primo skating weather, I love the Fall season. I get to check it out on skates this year, yaaaaay!
I started roller skating because it strengthens my knees! I was a championship XC runner in high school but after 2 ACL replacement surgeries I couldn't run 2 blocks without pain in my knee. But skating is low impact and doesn't hurt. It also strengthens all the muscles and tendons around my knee that stabilize it and prevent injuries in the long run! I just have to be careful not to skate past my fatigue point because that's when falls/injuries can happen. My actual favorite form of exercise is surfing, but it's so weather dependent. I tried skateboarding but I didn't like how imbalanced I felt after pushing only on one leg all the time. Roller skating was the perfect solution!
I'm really new to skating (only been out 3 times so far) and loving it. My main sport is running and started skating as I needed a new exercise to mix things up a bit. Best decision ever as it helps me relax, recover and stretches my legs and hips out. Not only that I love the freedom and enjoyment of it without the big goals I have in my running. I'm still learning and have a long way to go but the challenge is so good for my mental health (never in a good place with that) so, yeah, thanks skating for the positivity

Hi Indy! Agree! You have just described ALL of the reasons that I love to skate... I met you when I was first relearning to skate after a 35 year absence, now I skate a 6 mile trail every day! Thanks for the continued inspiration, and yeah I love the new merch!
I haven't skated for years, I finally bought some skates recently and my son skates with me as well! We have so much fun together, its our thing now. He is almost 21 years old and he enjoys our time together and even his friends join us 🤗 you are so right about feeling free and it being a stress reliever. I am so happy to get back skating cause I definitely don't like the gym scene, this is a great way to get that exercise and have fun doing it! Thank you for all your videos, love watching and learning. Take care ❤
So I do bodybuilding and running. Roller Skating has been a fun addition this year that I picked up. Already having a good base for muscle, cardio and balance has made it easy to pick this up. I did find out I had a muscle imbalance between the legs. I couldn't balance on one side and one leg was definitely a little beat on the side after sessions.
My favorite type of exercise has been working on backwards skating and spins! I’ve been in love with figure skating style and it’s been helping me feel more confident in my body and feel graceful when I’m out there!! Nothing else matters but me and the wheels on the ground having fun😌
My favorite type of exercise on roller skates is going up and down hills. So challenging going up which I love, and so fun going down which I love even more! 🤩
My favorite way to exercise is bounce skating! Keeping up with the bouncers at my rink takes a lot of effort, but it's so fun that it's totally worth the sore legs and major state of sweatiness 🤪 I also LOVE trail skating with my dad who runs, and skating downtown where there are lots of different footings to maneuver :)
Adult ballet! I’ve been off classes for a couple of weeks for a minor knee surgery, and miss it so much! Hope to go back this week, and also restart skating after um, 40 years. I last skated at age 8.
I'm so excited for my Rookie Artistics! I have a sedentary lifestyle for so long I gained like 12kg since the start of pandemic. They always advise me to exercise but honestly it feels like a chore. This is the only stuff that I got so hyped to try as it looks very fun to do!
I already know how to artistic skate. When I get my rainbow riders or moxi Jack's I am going to the Corporis Cristi corrections and do my program in front of Yolonda Salvador she will flip cause it was sale a music.
I’m a climber who has a background in swimming and water polo and don’t have close access to a pool. So was looking for a fun way to do cardio when my friend talked to me about roller skating. I had been awed by skate dancing and so have decided to skate for cross training for climbing. Fingers crossed
My favorite type of exercise was swimming, I’ve always loved the water my entire life! (#watertribe lol) However, now that we’re starting to get into fall, my favorite exercise is roller skating because I love feeling the wind on my face and seeing/feeling my clothes ripple and flow on my body :)
Roller skating has been my go to and favorite exercise for the last couple years. I can skate at the rink or outside for hours! I have definitely been getting so many compliments on my booty!
I’m a beginner skater and I’ve found my favorite exercise on skates is doing bubbles, it takes a lot of leg muscle strength and I always feel the burn!
I follow you from france, I learn english and roller skate, you and Durty Deborah are very fantastic because you speak clearly and slowly. Thank you very much !
My background is mountain biking (also my fav exercise) and I have a friend that likes to roller skate and I told her I would go, so I got a pair of roller skates (candi girl) on clearance because they were returned for $50 and I’m scared to go outside with them so I went to a roller rink with my friend and it was literally the most terrifying thing I’ve done as an adult. I’m hoping to get more time in the rink this winter so I’ll be comfortable to go outside in the spring. Wish me luck 🙂
i just started skating again so don’t have any favorite skating exercises, but my favorite way to “work out” is hooping. i can’t wait to combine hooping with skating & already watched your video on that. 🙂
Hmm, I'd have to say my favorite skating exercise right now is probably skating bubbles! I'm still kind of a beginner I know, but it's fun to just wave my feet in and out and see how still I can get my upper body to be while my feet are bouncing :) I've also been getting better at going out wider with my feet; it's been a long time since I did dance classes and I never could quite do a full split, but it's fun to feel some of that flexibility coming back so I can get closer to one! Plus one time a kid at the skate park saw me skating bubbles and she told me I looked cool, soooo * _insert sunglasses emoji_ * hahaha :)
Skateing is my new passion and I just love skateing backwards, everything from bubbles to dips. But I also love to do a tough crossfit session to really workout the whole body and feel totally exhausted afterwards. :)
Woohoo!!! Love roller skating. I actually went in person during COVID-19 Pandemic to get my Roller Skates in the Long Beach store. I dance while skating. Beats are on and after watching your tutorials I start to practice. 🙌🏻❤️🐒
I love the shirt when I saw it on the youtube shorts video. I'm still a beginner skater but exercise on skates I love is pushing really hard to go fast like you're running, or attempting to run on toe stops! I love that skating can be fast and aggressive and still fun! If I don't win the giveaway I'll probably go buy the shirt anyway 😅
Currently recovering from roller skating fall which resulted in dislocated ankle and broken fibula but itching to get fit again (and practicing falling so I can fall safely and immediately as I tried to stay upright and paid for it) so I can get back roller skating, it clears my mind as well as helping me stay physically fit! Oh & hubby has skates now so we can skate together 💜
my favourite type of exercise on my roller skates is having a large space that has smooth floor is just skating and dancing at the same time! I subscribed and like this video and others. I am a big fan. I am saving up all my money to get Merch!
After 30 yrs of not skating I am working my way upto jumps and sit spins or camel spins (Au terms) I can do a normal spin slower but almost broke my patella a few wks ago when I went really fast and stopped suddenly landed fwd on my face/teeth & patella/knee ugh bit of lost confidence but I do pray one day as I'm a bigger girl these days that I will get these abilities back xx
My favorite type of exercise is playing tennis! I played all throughout high school and a little in college, but currently learning how to roller skate and just got a new pair of Sure Grips Boardwalks! Now I can finally adjust my toe stop also your videos have helped me so much thank you!🥺❤️🛼💕
I just got the nerve to start roller skating in my new neighborhood! There’s a slight hill, and I’m terrified but getting better. I actually lost about 15 pounds in seventh grade roller blading, and now I’m using my quad skates to help me get healthier 23 years later. I even have the neighborhood kids (including my own) come join me, and we have a blast!
My favorite type is being on nice flat surfaces and doing turnarounds then 180 jump backs to forward skating. Howeverrrrrrr I just finished getting all the parts for a park set up and i am EXTREMELY excited to get out there! :D Thanks for the opportunity and hope you're doing well Indy!!!
my favorite type of exercise is definitely doing bubbles, crossovers and practising transitions. Id say that doing crossovers is a great exercise for core strength
Couldn't help but think of you when I was at an estate sale last weekend and they had a pair of those metal clip roller skates like the ones that needed the key!! It made me think of that really cool video you made not to long ago where you skated while playing your ukelele and singing that song! Incidentally they looked at me like I'l lost my mind when I asked if they had the key to the skates. lol
My favourite type of exercise is just cruising around in large spaces, I'm still learning and finding it really hard to maintain some balance, but it really fun. ❤️
Last year at 54 years I started running to get healthy and feel better. I lost 30lbs but it was hard on my bad right knee so I had to stop. So I started skating , getting back to skating was literally like riding bike. I have kept the weight off by skating and I love it!! Right now I only skate 8hrs a week but I wish it was 8hrs a day 😆
Hmmm my favorite exercise on skates, just trail skating and practicing bubbles and going backwards and such! I’m still a novice 😍 I am also in love with yoga and working with a punching bag! All the variation and fun 💜 lovely video Indy, thank you 🙏
I try to rollerblade at the local park a few times a week. It's great exercise! We're also big fans of Fitness Boxing and Ringfit Adventure on the Switch, in my house.
Question for anyone. I've got back problems and by far my biggest issue is the sheer weight of the skates. 10 minutes skating and the pain is extreme. What are the lightest weight skates out there? The movement doesn't bother me, just the added weight.
I live in a city that's mostly hills so I've taken on challenging myself to skate up the hills. Each time aiming to get further and faster. It's quite fun.
My favorite exercise is anything to do with cardio and balance. I get a ton of cardio at work and at home and I love practicing with my balance I have a I do board. I roller skate for fun.
My favorite way to exercise is definitely roller skating. It really helps me with my anxiety and everything lol I'm still a newbie, but rolling around in my favorite open shaded area and practicing Anything is the best. Btw you were the first person to turn me onto roller skating🥰 Keep doing what you do!
My favorite type of exercise is just cruising in large spaces, going in circles and practicing my turns! New to the skating squad 😁😁
same here!! it’s so fun !
My favorite exercise is typically going on walks but I'm now learning to skate and that is absolutely becoming my favorite.

@@rannpnut7681 Thank you! I figured there might be a few times where all I can do is put on the skates and skate in my garage for a few min lol
My favorite skating exercise is skating with my 3 year old. He loves it so much! Hes so fearless and he learns so quick.
I love going to my local rink and doing a few artistic moves while letting the music move me! I love the feeling of flying around the rink, using the wall and practicing my balance skating. I'm 50 and love receiving compliments from the kids and teens! I bought the shirt, Indy!

Que bonito habla del skate con mucho amor , empecé a patinar desde cero y me encanta 🌈💖
I love skating trails but I want to try derby 🖤 I also miss skate rinks (haven’t been since I was a kid)
I have a row machine and dumb bells that i have been using for awhile now. But I recently just started roller skating again and am loving it cause it gets me outside.

My favorite roller skating exercising is trail skating! I love finding a new trail to explore and conquer. It is so much fun and great exercise!

He is almost 21 years old and he enjoys our time together and even his friends join us 🤗 you are so right about feeling free and it being a stress reliever. I am so happy to get back skating cause I definitely don't like the gym scene, this is a great way to get that exercise and have fun doing it! Thank you for all your videos, love watching and learning. Take care ❤
So I do bodybuilding and running. Roller Skating has been a fun addition this year that I picked up. Already having a good base for muscle, cardio and balance has made it easy to pick this up. I did find out I had a muscle imbalance between the legs. I couldn't balance on one side and one leg was definitely a little beat on the side after sessions.
My favorite type of exercise has been working on backwards skating and spins! I’ve been in love with figure skating style and it’s been helping me feel more confident in my body and feel graceful when I’m out there!! Nothing else matters but me and the wheels on the ground having fun😌
My favorite type of exercise on roller skates is going up and down hills. So challenging going up which I love, and so fun going down which I love even more! 🤩
My favorite way to exercise is bounce skating! Keeping up with the bouncers at my rink takes a lot of effort, but it's so fun that it's totally worth the sore legs and major state of sweatiness 🤪 I also LOVE trail skating with my dad who runs, and skating downtown where there are lots of different footings to maneuver :)
I love jumping to stop backwards!! And I paddle on my stand up board for exercise 😎
Adult ballet! I’ve been off classes for a couple of weeks for a minor knee surgery, and miss it so much! Hope to go back this week, and also restart skating after um, 40 years. I last skated at age 8.
I'm so excited for my Rookie Artistics! I have a sedentary lifestyle for so long I gained like 12kg since the start of pandemic. They always advise me to exercise but honestly it feels like a chore. This is the only stuff that I got so hyped to try as it looks very fun to do!
I already know how to artistic skate. When I get my rainbow riders or moxi Jack's I am going to the Corporis Cristi corrections and do my program in front of Yolonda Salvador she will flip cause it was sale a music.
My new skates are Rookie Magic. They are so very comfortable, and the ride is fantastic!
Hi you are a big inspiration to me as a young skater.My fave exercise on roller skates is going on ramps
I’m a climber who has a background in swimming and water polo and don’t have close access to a pool. So was looking for a fun way to do cardio when my friend talked to me about roller skating. I had been awed by skate dancing and so have decided to skate for cross training for climbing. Fingers crossed
My favourite excersise is rollerskating, skateboarding, and aerial silks/lyra. I love your videos Indy! 😃
My favorite type of exercise was swimming, I’ve always loved the water my entire life! (#watertribe lol) However, now that we’re starting to get into fall, my favorite exercise is roller skating because I love feeling the wind on my face and seeing/feeling my clothes ripple and flow on my body :)
Ditto ditto
Roller skating has been my go to and favorite exercise for the last couple years. I can skate at the rink or outside for hours! I have definitely been getting so many compliments on my booty!
I’m a beginner skater and I’ve found my favorite exercise on skates is doing bubbles, it takes a lot of leg muscle strength and I always feel the burn!
I follow you from france,
I learn english and roller skate, you and Durty Deborah are very fantastic because you speak clearly and slowly.
Thank you very much !
I love doing the classic bubbles!
It does make you happy. I was like a kid today skating I was so happy and excited.
My background is mountain biking (also my fav exercise) and I have a friend that likes to roller skate and I told her I would go, so I got a pair of roller skates (candi girl) on clearance because they were returned for $50 and I’m scared to go outside with them so I went to a roller rink with my friend and it was literally the most terrifying thing I’ve done as an adult. I’m hoping to get more time in the rink this winter so I’ll be comfortable to go outside in the spring. Wish me luck 🙂
i just started skating again so don’t have any favorite skating exercises, but my favorite way to “work out” is hooping. i can’t wait to combine hooping with skating & already watched your video on that. 🙂
Skating is my current favorite exercise. Your love of skating is very motivating. Thank you! Can't wait to learn more about slomo. 💖
My favorite thing is bombing hills on my skates around here in Santa Cruz. Thx for your informative vids!
I like dancing, learning gymnastics and outdoor skating as exercise.
Hmm, I'd have to say my favorite skating exercise right now is probably skating bubbles! I'm still kind of a beginner I know, but it's fun to just wave my feet in and out and see how still I can get my upper body to be while my feet are bouncing :) I've also been getting better at going out wider with my feet; it's been a long time since I did dance classes and I never could quite do a full split, but it's fun to feel some of that flexibility coming back so I can get closer to one! Plus one time a kid at the skate park saw me skating bubbles and she told me I looked cool, soooo * _insert sunglasses emoji_ * hahaha :)
I'm new to rollerskating and this video is motivating me to get movin!! At the moment my favorite workout is simply staying up on the skates!!
My favorite thing to do for exercise on skates is pumping!! It's so fun and I feel my core activated the whole time! 💖💖💖
Skateing is my new passion and I just love skateing backwards, everything from bubbles to dips. But I also love to do a tough crossfit session to really workout the whole body and feel totally exhausted afterwards. :)
Woohoo!!! Love roller skating. I actually went in person during COVID-19 Pandemic to get my Roller Skates in the Long Beach store. I dance while skating. Beats are on and after watching your tutorials I start to practice. 🙌🏻❤️🐒
I love the shirt when I saw it on the youtube shorts video. I'm still a beginner skater but exercise on skates I love is pushing really hard to go fast like you're running, or attempting to run on toe stops! I love that skating can be fast and aggressive and still fun! If I don't win the giveaway I'll probably go buy the shirt anyway 😅
Currently recovering from roller skating fall which resulted in dislocated ankle and broken fibula but itching to get fit again (and practicing falling so I can fall safely and immediately as I tried to stay upright and paid for it) so I can get back roller skating, it clears my mind as well as helping me stay physically fit! Oh & hubby has skates now so we can skate together 💜
my favourite type of exercise on my roller skates is having a large space that has smooth floor is just skating and dancing at the same time! I subscribed and like this video and others. I am a big fan. I am saving up all my money to get Merch!
My favorite exercise is anything derby! I missed it during the shut down, feels good to be back!!
I love just urban cruising and recently got into park skatibg and i am super excited everytime I get to go park skating.
YOU WON!!! Congrats 😆 Send me an email at indyjammajones@gmail.com and we will get you your free tee!!!
Indy thank you so much for the documentary on Slomo. Reminded me what life should be about. Just wonderful. xx
Aw yayyy I love that video so much! Glad you took a look
I love to skate on the bike trails in my town, they go for miles and miles. I feel awesome after a nice long skate sesh ❤️ 🛼
After 30 yrs of not skating I am working my way upto jumps and sit spins or camel spins (Au terms) I can do a normal spin slower but almost broke my patella a few wks ago when I went really fast and stopped suddenly landed fwd on my face/teeth & patella/knee ugh bit of lost confidence but I do pray one day as I'm a bigger girl these days that I will get these abilities back xx
I love hiking! But my new favorite exercise is rollerskating. I love that it's gentle on my back.
My favorite type of exercise is playing tennis! I played all throughout high school and a little in college, but currently learning how to roller skate and just got a new pair of Sure Grips Boardwalks! Now I can finally adjust my toe stop also your videos have helped me so much thank you!🥺❤️🛼💕
I just got the nerve to start roller skating in my new neighborhood! There’s a slight hill, and I’m terrified but getting better. I actually lost about 15 pounds in seventh grade roller blading, and now I’m using my quad skates to help me get healthier 23 years later. I even have the neighborhood kids (including my own) come join me, and we have a blast!
My favorite type is being on nice flat surfaces and doing turnarounds then 180 jump backs to forward skating. Howeverrrrrrr I just finished getting all the parts for a park set up and i am EXTREMELY excited to get out there! :D
Thanks for the opportunity and hope you're doing well Indy!!!
I love all kinds of workouts but skating is one of my favorites. I also like running and hiking.
My favorite is run thru city speed city skating. Fast turns and sliding.
My favorit exercise is outside skating ☀️ I love skating in my city with friends or alone, preferably at sunset 🌇 love ittttt 💛
my favorite type of exercise is definitely doing bubbles, crossovers and practising transitions. Id say that doing crossovers is a great exercise for core strength
Couldn't help but think of you when I was at an estate sale last weekend and they had a pair of those metal clip roller skates like the ones that needed the key!! It made me think of that really cool video you made not to long ago where you skated while playing your ukelele and singing that song! Incidentally they looked at me like I'l lost my mind when I asked if they had the key to the skates. lol
My favourite type of exercise is just cruising around in large spaces, I'm still learning and finding it really hard to maintain some balance, but it really fun. ❤️
My favorite type of exercise is running. I have ran 6 in person half marathons & 1 virtual half (due to COVID). I love roller skating, too!
My daughter loves you and learned to skate from watching your videos. She enjoys skating and running for exercise!
I love going to the outdoor rink by my house! I’ve built so much lower body strength since my skills improved! 💪🏽
ahhhh, I am waiting for my new skates as we speak! I am so excited for the fun of it, I want to actually _enjoy_ the exercise I do 🥺💛
Ikr! My pads arrived, just waiting for my skates and helmet, they are supposed to arrive later today.
I love long distance trail skating and cardio kick boxing.
Last year at 54 years I started running to get healthy and feel better. I lost 30lbs but it was hard on my bad right knee so I had to stop. So I started skating , getting back to skating was literally like riding bike. I have kept the weight off by skating and I love it!! Right now I only skate 8hrs a week but I wish it was 8hrs a day 😆
I love the way skating make my legs feel, but my favorite all time exercise is the bench press! P.S. I loved this video!!
Hmmm my favorite exercise on skates, just trail skating and practicing bubbles and going backwards and such! I’m still a novice 😍 I am also in love with yoga and working with a punching bag! All the variation and fun 💜 lovely video Indy, thank you 🙏
My favourite is trying to skate backwards. First time this year back in roller skates after 35 years, and I lost a tonne of weight...
I try to rollerblade at the local park a few times a week. It's great exercise! We're also big fans of Fitness Boxing and Ringfit Adventure on the Switch, in my house.
Question for anyone. I've got back problems and by far my biggest issue is the sheer weight of the skates. 10 minutes skating and the pain is extreme. What are the lightest weight skates out there? The movement doesn't bother me, just the added weight.
My favorite exercises are to jam skate at the rink or just skating around a parking lot doing tricks and just practicing
I live in a city that's mostly hills so I've taken on challenging myself to skate up the hills. Each time aiming to get further and faster. It's quite fun.
My favorite exercise is anything to do with cardio and balance. I get a ton of cardio at work and at home and I love practicing with my balance I have a I do board. I roller skate for fun.
My favorite way to exercise is definitely roller skating. It really helps me with my anxiety and everything lol I'm still a newbie, but rolling around in my favorite open shaded area and practicing Anything is the best. Btw you were the first person to turn me onto roller skating🥰
Keep doing what you do!
My favorite type of exercise to do on skates is definitely drilling my spins and going backwards! It’s been a struggle but I’m slowly getting there!
