I bought a pair of rollerblades in april(the ones from my kid years were a little beat up..but i did still fit in them lol) SOOO much fun. I wanna go to one of those roller rinks and be like *****es! whats up! lol

I have been roller skating again after not going for over 30 years! It is so much fun! i READ THAT YOU BURN 300 calories an hour. I know its helping my leg muscles and it really gets your heart rate up. It's kind of funny the reactions yo get from people though......they act like you have lost your mind. If you say you are going running or even ice skating it is okay, but not roller skating. I wonder why. I think if you can find some form of exercise you enjoy a lot you should go for it. Have you thought about getting some outside wheels for your skates and skating the bike paths? I think I'm going to try that when the weather gets nice. We have several skating rinks here in Dayton. They all seem to be doing good business.

We could start the mfp roller derby! lol

My daughter thought about buying me roller skates in summer 2009 for my birthday...bless her, she was only 5 than. So she picked them herself and my hubby paid. Needles to say that they have been out of a cupboard only few times, but now it's getting nicer and kids have couple of weeks off school, I plan on taking them out again. Scraped knees here I come (well, not literally, I have guards, lol)

After not skating for about 25 years, I now skate once a week since October.
I wear a hrm and burn about 250-300 calories per hour of casual skating.

That is a nice burn...I have to learn how to skate. I'm fine on ice skates. No problems there, but put in on roller skates and it's quite fun to watch. I can't even stop on them so can't go down hills :laugh:
