Roller blading can be a great advantage for Hockey Players and Figure Skaters. Sometimes life can get hectic driving the kids all over town to their appoinments and practices. Time restrictions don’t help either when you’re limited by time schedules and availability. These days everyone is looking to get some extra practice time in making roller blading a fantastic addition to any skater’s training. It helps build up strength and power as well as technique. The best part – you can do it in your own neighborhood! As a matter of fact I took my oldest son rollerblading around the neighborhood today and we had a blast! We even had some neighbors come out to check out what we were doing and asked if they could join in next time. Needless to say it was a fun day for all of us, but most importantly we got a fantastic workout!!!
I can’t stress enough on how important it is to wear proper safety gear. I highly recommend wearing a helmet, knee pads, wrist guards, and elbow pads before heading out.
