A few weeks
ago I wrote a post about exercises with hula –hoop and its positive fitness
effects – losing the waistline effectively, not to mention having fun and
improving general mood. So I guess that my mind is set on sports right now,
because my another blog will be dedicated to another activity –inline skating.
First of all,
I have to explain the background of this topic. When I was a child (about 4
years old) I got a special gift from my parents – skates. And since that day I
have been doing everything with them on my feet. I had a lot of fun then, I
even started in many amateur competitions, but it came to an end in my high
school. A few weeks ago I started to think about my old hobby and decided I
have to rediscover it. I bought brand-new skates and now I know that I couldn’t
made better decision.
As always I
have to start with outlining the health benefits. First of all, if you want to
lose weight, skating is a good way to do it – one hour of this activity burn
about 700 kcal. What is more, it is not as damaging for joints like many other
sports as the movement is smooth and easy. Do I have to mention that it
improves your stamina and overall coordination? I guess not! Last but not
least, this is a sport that you have to do on a fresh air which is another
benefit for your body and mind.
