In-Line Skate : Your Way To Fabulous Legs
Well, if you started worrying about your weight, don’t give up skating, this is the perfect activity to handle your problems ;)
Heather’s love affair with in-line skating started innocently enough. An undergraduate at Queen’s University in Kingston during the mid-1990s, she was looking for a physical outlet that would help her slough off the stress of her studies.
“The in-line skating craze was just catching on then,” Heather recalled. “I was in a second-hand clothing store and saw a pair of beaten up plastic, pink and white skates that looked like they¹d been owned by a child and I bought them for $3.”
A year and a move to Montreal later and Heather was practicing moves on her skates that would eventually help her to shed 35 pounds* and streamline her body. “I had moved to Montreal to attend Concordia University. I’d get home, feed the cats, strap on my blades and go to an empty parking lot in my neighbourhood to practice twists and turns because I knew it would be good for my waistline. And I’d practice backing up because I knew that would be good for the gluteus muscles in my rear.”
Eventually, she began wearing the skates to run errands, a habit she maintains today. “I pack a pair of sandals in my backpack and skate to the ATM, supermarket and dry cleaners,” she said. “Slowly but surely, I’ve noticed my body toning up.”
In-line skating is the perfect activity to tone legs and buttocks, say fitness experts. And the good news is that it’s so much fun, it doesn’t even feel like exercise. [...]

im overweighted and I skate, not an elephant but thats rasistic fatter peoples do can skate.(but if someone is HEAVILY FAT ITS SURELY HARD!)
Truuth is person who is athlete they donot have fat or anyother thing on their body to protect muscles or bones from hit.
They have meat bone and skin so nothing protective is there so if they hit their muscle its easyer toren/broken same whit bones.
so atleast having some good on having some fat:)
I do admit being slim helps on this sport alot, I am trying to become myself more like normal weighted:)
Peace out.
