I read an article somewhere about roller derby being the hot new workout. You roll around on your skates while doing squats or something. I live in Dallas, TX and I would love to take that class, but I can't find anything about it. Guess it is not in Dallas :sad:

    While Roller Derby is an excellent workout, its actually a sport, so if you are searching for a "class" you likely won't find one. Try search for a Roller Derby league in your area, Texas was one of the first places in North America to bring back the sport, so i;m sure their are lots of teams there for you to look into. Ive been playing derby for a year now and its an incredible lifestyle!! Although if you are just looking for a great workout it may not be for you, because it is a full contact sport! Try googling it, search it on youtube!

    If you are on Facebook search for "roller derby workout challenge 2013". There you will find examples of workouts and exercises. I play derby as well and several of my teammates are doing this.
