I want to tone and slim my legs for the summer and was thinking about buying roller skates cos think this would be fun!! Would i need to go really fast to make a difference and for how long a day?? Don't want to build up muscle too much...this just make them look bigger!! Thanks xx
Will roller skating give me slim legs??
It depends on you body type and build as well as metabolism. Some people's legs will slim down quickly, some won't and some like myself will likely tone and build muscle but look significantly thinner.
Reply:Well,, not only will it slim down ur legs a bitt, but it will also give you a little bit of leg muscle. but not too to much
Reply:i think they will tone ur leg muscles more then anything but give it a world
Reply:you will get some muscles in them
Reply:no it will not slim ypur legs as asked .however it will give muscle tone.
Reply:I think so, but everything in moderation.
Hope this helped!

Reply:not onley will it tone your legs but also your butt
Reply:yes just make sure u moove unlike my bro stay on to somthing only kk
Reply:I guess....try roller blades instead they are easier they look hard but once you get the hang of it it's really fun!
But you will also build muscle.
Reply:roller skating will generally build muscle in your legs.
and will tone and slim them.
Reply:I do it and they look great!!! I think you should go for it. I also think it is very good exersise so you get a workout too. I luv 2 sk8. I don't think it can make NE 1s leggs bigger muscle wise. Go 4 it!!! Hope I helped!!!
Reply:i think so
Reply:I'd say so. The roller skating girls that work at sonic seem to be in good shape. well, at least around where I live.
Reply:yes
Reply:Yes, your using mostly leg muscles to push your self.
I felt it in my inner thigh the most when I skate as a little boy.
Reply:No i an a roller stater and it makes ur legges bigger because ur leggs will grow more muscle like mine. I think u should run on a tread mill or just run
Reply:you would lose weight and burn calories etc. but you can't spot lose weight it all comes off slowly from everywhere but it could give u more leg muscle
Reply:butt- if you lay on ur stomach and squeeze your butt and lift ur legs and it'll tone ur butt
Reply:I would think so.
Reply:I don't think that roller skating would be the best way to slim your legs. Try work outs to burn the fat. Your legs would not become to "bulky" like a man's legs, but your legs would be much stronger. But if you want to have fun while exercising, do it with your friends at a gym.
Reply:Yes, the skating would tone your leg muscle and burn calories, which of course would cause you to lose weight. I wouldn't push it in time or speed when you start out, maybe 30-45 minutes at a comfortable pace. The longer you skate the more calories you burn, so you don't need to go too fast. The faster you go the more muscle you will build. Go for longer periods of time at comfortable speeds.
Reply:Skating would be a good way to get in shape. It will tone you up. Then start to build muscle. Stop when you start getting too thick.
Reply:NO, TRY DOING LEG WORK OUTS WITH WEIGHTS, YOU WILL LOSE FAT AND TONE THEM UP REAL SEXY
Reply:yeah i really think it would help and olny about 1 hour a day maybe
Reply:yeah it would help!
maybe going up little hills and building it up?
going fast could help you!
GOOD LUCK!!!
:D
Reply:Yes, it might, but it can also make them more muscular. Roller skating is a great exercise for burning calories though.
Reply:yes very, it work your muscles and slims out your legs %26amp; makes them very healthy
Reply:I not sure if roller skating will help but things like swimming and biking do for sure trust me iv'e been there and not to brag i look hot so probably you would just have to keep up your sport ( in your case ) roller bladeing. Just practice your sport every day! Good Luck:)
Reply:dont kno much about skating but swimming sure as hell will

Does anybody still roller-skate?
I love roller skating outdoors at the park. Just wondering if anybody still roller-skates. It's so fun!
Does anybody still roller-skate?
Yes as a matter of fact they do. There is an organization called USARS for competitions and such for all roller sports in the US and there is an International ars as well that holds world competitions. People of all ages are in this sport from 4 years old to 80. I would check out there site and find a competition near you they are every fun to watch.
BTW, they are trying to petition to have it included in the olympics.
Reply:Yes we still roller skate! We play roller derby! Check out www.ocrollergirls.com or www.myspace.com/psychexgirlfri... Report It
Reply:i love roller blading! i havent in a while, but now since its warm out i will probably start again. thanks for reminding me! :)

Is roller skating popular?
when i was walking down the street two years ago, at least 3 kids would pass me on roller skates. Now, i rarely see people with skates on. Give me your opinion
Is roller skating popular?
When you say "roller skating", I am assuming you mean inline skating (because you mentioned only 2 years ago) and not quad skating ("my" generation would associate roller skating with the quad skates). Even at 10 years ago quad skates would not be have been popular on the streets.
I don't know for a fact that inline skating is less popular - though it is possible. It could depend on where you are. There are still inline skaters where I live . . . though, you are right, not as many . . . but the beaches and parks here are still filled with recreational skaters.
Perhaps there are several reasons why it is less popular - IF it is indeed getting less popular:
Parents are really up on safety these days. Inline skating has its potential hazards and parents are being more cautious about what they allow their kids to do. (Many families are without health insurance these days too . . . . .).
Aggressive skating has become popular . . . again, some parents may not want their kids skating thinking it may lead to that. On that note, these skaters can be found at a skate park or in a particular area for doing their tricks . . . not so much just taking a stroll through the neighborhood!
Other wheeled products have come onto the market: scooters, cool skateboards, skate shoes - other fads. Next? Not to mention those for sedentary activities like video games and such . . . you don't see as many children playing outside these days, sadly.
It's sometimes inconvenient to put the skates plus the safety gear on and off - you can't really enter anywhere. How many places do you see now that do not allow skating? With a scooter, skateboard, or skate shoes, you still have your shoes on and it's just a matter of tucking away your equipment.
Anyway, just some of my thoughts.
Reply:Depends on where you live at. Ask around.
Reply:Yes,I remember the kids would be out rollerskating, but then it was the scooter thing and now I hardly see any children out. I am thinking they have the tv and electronic game systems....I wish they would come out for some fresh air, summer is coming to an end very rapidly.
Reply:roller skating is still popular, expecially by the beach, and at roller rinks. but as time passes by, more ppl, unfortunately like me, spend more time inside than outside, like on the computer or tv. sad...
Reply:It's sort of like Razor scooters - the fad has died down. Everyone still has them in the garage, but they don't use them as much.
Using skates as a method of transportation has always been a problem because you needed to carry shoes/sneakers with you to change into once you got where you were going.
Heelies and Shoeskates alleviated that obstacle because you could (sort of) walk in them. Unfortunately, some wearers couldn't control themselves, especially in smooth-floored places and they annoyed people. Now when you walk into stores or the Mall, there are signs and security guards that prohibit skates and heelies. Many people pop out their wheels when they get places and use the Heelies as sneakers for this reason.
I've seen a lot of growth in roller skating RINKS and skate parks. Many skaters have stopped skating in front of their houses/schools and started using those places for skating. The indoor skaters don't want to wear down their wheels on concrete, so they stopped skating outdoors entirely.
The trick skaters (and skateboarders) try to not annoy people, so they stick to out-of-the way parks and parking lots. (So no one calls the cops to complain.)
In some ways, this has affected skateboarders as well; the parks with grind rails and ramps are more fun than the plywood jump ramp in the parking lot of the KFC that falls down when you get to the top. LOL
Reply:That's because they pretty much died alongside the eighties. Kind of unfortunate though, they were pretty fun.
Reply:right now skateboarding is most popular. I love skateboarding
Reply:Wow! I'm not certain how old you are or where you're from, but roller skating has come back with a vengeance! Old school roller skating (ie on quad skates, two wheels in front, two wheels in back) is becoming more popular than before. You may not see too many skaters in the streets, but they are packing the roller rinks. With the resurgence of roller derby, more and more people are dusting off their quads and heading to the rink. Also with recent movies like ATL and Roll Bounce, many people are "jam skating" again, which takes great skill and balance and is really cool to watch. Do an search online for roller skating, roller derby, and/or jam skating. You will be amazed at what you find! Blue Mayhem H4, Alamo City Roller Girls

How to do roller skating !! i lose my balance as wheels are on 1 side.?
Skating is easy and fun once you get the hang of it....Stand with your back against the wall when you have your skates - push off and do your very best to stand straight up... I do great on blades but not skates - it's different for everyone so make sure your using whats most comfortable for you - don't concentrate on name brand until you learn the technique... Stopping isn't very easy so once you get a small rhythm going, make sure to practice stopping.... You can take lessons at any skating rink. Good luck %26amp; have fun.
Reply:well rollerblading is hard trust me and if u keep on trying then try mre well try to get someone to help u who already has experience or like a big bro or sis or make a line with rop or something and try holdin it and rollerblading at the same time that's the best i can tell u and if u fall alot REMEMBER TO WEAR UR HELMET!
Reply:LOL......just go out and keep tryin and u will get better
Reply:what you need to do is keep both feet on floor and do the " V" thing with one foot at a time and keep your arms out when doing this .
Reply:i guess it came easy to me as a former figure skater, but i think if you're brave enough you could try ice skating, too. it might help you to learn to rollerblade. if not then just keep practicing. practice on tennis courts, if you can. they're a LITTLE softer yet they are also more slippery. yes use a helmet and maybe wrist gaurds
have fun, too!!!
Reply:I think you mean roller blading? If so, yes an acute angle, just like ice skating. Practice makes perfect, just skate as much as you can and you will eventually become comfortable.

How can i learn to roller skate fast?
I buyed new silicone roller skates.I know how to roller skate but on these skates i can't skate.i want to know any tricks on how to learn to skate.
How can i learn to roller skate fast?
Are they quads/inlines?
Generally, bend your knees and try to stride to the side instead of "kicking" behind you.

Reply:when your are skatering lean over and its makes you go faster i dont know how but it does
Reply:Learning how to skate fast.. is relative as to WHY you want to skate fast. As a former Jr. Olympic Speed Skater and Roller Derby Trainer.. its all relative. Skating fast has all to do with techinque.. body position.. equipment.. etc... A little more information is required to give you a helpful answer.

Roller derby ppl and any roller skate person help?
I tried to check out your choices through your links, but they all just go to the homepage for lowpriceskates.
The R3's are a good starters. I've noticed that girls playing rollerderby that have purchased skates like these end up upgrading in 1-2 years to leather boots, better wheels and bearings. It depends on how serious you are about it. Whether or not you play derby, skating is great exercise!
You can always build your own "package." I prefer leather boots only because they will conform to your feet better and last you longer. I've had my Reidell boots for 20 years now, and they still rock! I also like metal trucks and plates. Yes, plastic is lighter, but I've heard from girls' that through tuff use they will eventually crack. As far as wheels are concerned, if you are playing derby as you know the track is small and tight, so you need a wheel with some grip. Girls on my team have used Hyper Witch Doctors and love them. I've been using Matter D-Rods for the past 2 years, at least twice a week, and they still work great. There is a temptation to buy cheap wheels, but you will find that you'll have to replace them often and you won't get the gripiness you'll need for the tight track. Matter also has new derby wheels that are cheaper that the D-Rods that I'm going to be trying when mine wear out. Bearings? The best bet are Bones Reds...same technology as Swiss but manufactured in China and much cheaper. And, you can transfer the bearing to your new wheels when they wear.
Outdoor wheels I just go for cheap. I've never really experienced a difference, and normally get any ole bearing since performance outside isn't important -- I just like getting fresh air once in awhile!
Also, shop around the net -- I found my wheels at 1/2 the price through one of the oneline stores. And make sure to maintenance them reguarly by rotating the wheels, cleaning you bearings, and oiling them.
See you on the track!
