Crazy I know flash back to the 70 and 80's, I used to do it all the time when I was a kid. But I think it would be a great way to exercise, and lose my fat.. My ankles are to weak for roller blades.
I used to love skating also! Remember that song..."I got a brand new pair of roller skates, you got a brand new key. I think that we should get together and ...."
I don't remember the words, but your thread made me think of it!!!
I'm 35 yo and would you believe I still have my roller skates from when I was young and they still fit me! My oldest dd goes skating every wkd and I take my youngest every once in awhile. I haven't had the guts to try roller blades yet.
OMG, I would've loved being able to have the whole rink to myself as a kid, not to mention doing anything I wanted. My friend and I used to get in trouble b/c we'd criss-cross our arms, hold hands and spin around and around in circles until we got so dizzy...we'd let go of each other and fly across the floor.
LOL, I tried to use my mom's roller skates last year when we went home and ended up with half my body scraped. It was really hard since I grew up with blades and just couldn't get the hang of her skates. I will take my roller blades anytime!
Go For It!!!! I lost 30 lbs with weightwatchers and rollerskating once every weekend. I pushed myself - I love to skate. I still do on occasion. My daughter has a b-day party next weekend and I think I will get on my old skates - still have them 25 years later and they still fit. Enjoy!
