    Lol rollerblading is a great workout, IMO! I used to do it for 1-1.5 hours 5 times a week and lost 2 inches from my thighs (I was also eating less and doing the occasional weight lifting). I had to work up to that long and you will probably be dying when you first start, but it's so much fun and definitely worth it! I just dug out my old rollerblades and went a couple of days ago and can't wait to go again.

    I got rollerblades a couple weeks ago so I could skate with my daughter, I am still taking baby steps on my patio. There is a park by me where I would love to go, but I am nervous about any inclines and not having the greatest stopping power yet,especially with cars around. I used to rollerblade when I was a teenager and I had killer thighs back then. I was a lot more fearless back then too it seems :-) Good luck to you!
