It isn’t always easy to get your family to do healthy activities. If they aren’t the outdoorsy type, you can pretty much forget hiking, jogging, camping, and so forth. However, that doesn’t mean all hope is lost for getting them off the couch and on their feet. Roller skating is fun for the entire family and gives everyone the aerobic exercise they need. Roller skating can burn anywhere from 300 to 600 calories per hour, making it just as good for the heart as cycling, swimming or jogging.
