To push one foot and then the other while skating, you need to use the gluteal muscles, hamstrings, quadriceps, and calves each time you lift and move your foot. Or if you slide with your feet on the ground, your lower body will still work, but it will stabilize rather than push forward. This type of movement is like using an elliptical machine or other cardio machine in the gym, but it’s even better because you’re moving your body by moving your legs, or by moving your legs. In addition, the stability your ankles, calves, and feet need to balance on one elevated skate is stronger than when you’re running or laying your feet flat on the ground with a cardio machine.
Before going outdoors on skates, there are a few things to consider in addition to the benefits of skating. Read the tips to get you started safely.
advantage
Roller skates and roller blades increase the strength of the core and improve the stability of the lower body. Skating also improves the strength and mobility of the upper body through arm pumping and swing movements. When using the core muscles to rotate the torso, use the shoulders and arms to move forward. The legs and gluteal muscles also push you forward. Not only moving forward, but moving left and right increases the mobility and strength of the hip joint. The quadriceps, hamstrings, calves, gluteal muscles, and hips work together to start skating, stop skating, and speed up or down.
getting started
As a fitness coach, it’s always a good idea to have the right gear in place before starting a new training activity. Whether you’re renting or buying skates, try roller skates or inline skates to see which one is more comfortable.
Roller skates have four wheels that line up like the wheels of a car. Two in front and two in back. The wide base makes these skates a little easier for beginners. When you’re at rest, you’ll feel more stable with the skate base. However, it is difficult to speed up with roller skates compared to inline skates.
Most inline skates usually have four wheels on the front and back, a cut behind the rear wheels, and the boots on the top of the skate fit snugly. Wheels give you a smoother ride and faster skating.
As a kid, I learned how to skate on roller skates. I twisted the indoor rink, looked back, and practiced skating up and down the driveway. As an adult, I chose inline skating because I was able to skate to a friend’s house a mile away and show off my speed on an indoor rink.
I also recommend these steps to adults-a testament to the design, construction and stability of different types of skates. Start with roller skates for fun and move on to inline skates once you get used to the wheels.
Safety tips
Helmets, wrist guards, knee pads, elbow pads-all of these are needed for skating. Falling and rubbing your knees is one thing, but if you fall sideways on your wrist or land on your head, you can be injured. The most common reason for a fall is to get out of balance or try to turn to avoid a collision or an obstacle.
When I was a kid, I was always embarrassed to wear a lot of gear. But as I got older, I realized that my gear looked more serious. In addition, I was able to move faster and more confidently, knowing that I had taken safeguards to ensure my safety.
For beginners, find a safe place to skate. Start with a smooth, flat surface, like an empty parking lot or tennis court. Try to choose a bright place with no traffic or obstacles. Avoid skating in the rain as slippery roads can easily tip over.
Skate forward and aim for stability, not speed. Get used to starting and stopping. Then start skating a few feet to the right and then turn left. As a training, continue this winding pattern.
Ultimately, listen to your body and follow the method that best suits your current fitness level.
