Roller skating can boost muscle endurance as much as it does muscle strength. If you skate outdoors and add a few uphill climbs to your route, you train your muscles (and your heart) to function more efficiently. That means you’ll be able to skate farther and do other workouts without getting exhausted.
Pooja JainSchool Teacher A steady core is important to balance. Roller skating achieves this by forcing the use of lower back and abdominal muscles to stay upright and help you move forward and backward. Matching balance to leg motion improves coordination. Agility comes along on its own as you get stronger and more coordinated.

The average man is likely to burn about ten calories per minute while skating; the average woman is likely to burn about nine calories per minute. Add this up over the course of an hour of skating and you can unload anywhere from 300 to 600 calories. Even if you can only manage a half-hour of roller skating, that’s about 250 calories. Do that five times a week and you’re torching roughly 1250 calories.
Ravi BhardwajSchool Teacher As you roller skate, your arms and core balance your body while your legs and glutes move you forward. Keeping muscles strong and coordinated helps prevent injuries and keeps skaters active and limber as long as they stick with it
SumitStudent I’m pretty new at roller-skating. I got my roller skates just six months ago, in the middle of April. Before that, I had never skated before. Not roller-skates, not roller blades, not ice-skating, not that silly side-to-side sliding exerciser they sell on late night TV, nada. Today, I’m not a very good skater, but I can at least stand up on skates and move around. So, while the experience is fresh, I thought I’d share a few thoughts on learning to skate as an adult.
