All Terrain Skates

Heck, these could be good for burning calories!

Expensive!

Cheaper

I used to skate 10-14 miles around Chapel Hill almost every day. We had one section of steep downhill on a trail... it was rough on street skates. I wonder how the AT version does on roads. I spent $40 every couple of weeks on wheels and bearings.
$370 isn't all that high for high end skates... although they may have gotten cheaper since I was into it.

Good way to finish off an ACL.

We are born on skates up here.... I have used skates like those, good on flat ground, but don't let them pretend to tell you that they are good "all terrain"....they are not... lol

 

[MasterBlaster]

Even the expensive ones???

The best way to 'burn' calories, is to reduce the amount of caloric intake. IMO.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yes.

I like to eat.

I see these people 'working out' and they gobble protein bars and stuff. Funny thing is, the workout does not burn nearly the same amount of calories that those protein bars put into their bodies

 

[MasterBlaster]

Yea, I don't eat that rip-off stuff.

Humans are designed to exercise hard every day on a fairly light diet.
I used to workout at a gym and then quaff a big banana smoothie thinking I was calorie negative... turns out you can run for three hours and not burn off a rich 16oz smoothie.

Skating will tone you up though. The only time I ever had good ab tone as an adult was when I skated up hills regularly.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Wow, I wouldn't think that would be an ab routine. Whodathunkit?

 

[Blinky]

It's the uphill part, you're in a constant half crunch and pressing your legs hard... the downhill is the reward.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Hell, I'd still like a pair.

Are you bumping this for Santa?
