Skating Lap Fitness

Fun as it is, skating contributes directly to
improving the most sought-after exercise goals:
improved aerobic fitness, strength, endurance and
body fat reduction.

Fast-paced skating has been proved to be just as aerobically beneficial as running; compared to cycling, an equal skating effort results in a better muscular workout for hips, thighs and shins. As long as you apply yourself to purposeful workouts with specific daily goals (as opposed to simply going through the motions), you are setting yourself up to enjoy the maximum possible benefits from fitness skating.
