The fun and contagious inline skating

Not only had inline skates created chaos in E151 but also everyone around us. A few years back I was having difficulty in finding people to go skating with me but nowadays people around me are mostly doing inline skating. Ok so inline skating is fun but besides fun inline skating actually has a caloric burn of 400 + calories per hour, strengthening of your core muscles, and improvements to your aerobic endurance.

Skating long distance
Let's say you weight 68Kg, and if you skates for a distance of 16Km for 1 and half hours you are going lose 500 calories per hour and in two hours you are going to lost 1000 calories wahahaha!
Of course two 15 mins breaks are included for the 1.5 hours skating.

If you skates for 2 0r more hours you are going to strengthen the muscle groups in the upper legs, hips, glutei, and lower back to a greater extent than a skate of only 1 hour. And there will be a noticeable improvement in your stamina and inline skating fitness level. Just increase on the distance will add a significant improve to your muscle group!

Skating twice a week and faster pace
Ok friends, let's do some calculation here. If we skate just twice a week for 1.5 hours each time you are going to burn around 1000 calories a week.

If you weight around 54Kg and going for 16Km at the speed of 19km/h you will burns 620 calories per hour, 1033 calories in around 1.5 hours, a 70+kg skater will burn around 735 calories per hour, and the 90kg skater will burn up 850 calories per hour. Increasing the distance and the speed will give a steeper curve to your calories burnt!!!
