Skating

What it is

This activity is a dynamic, full-body movement that builds cardiorespiratory fitness and muscular endurance. It primarily targets your quadriceps, while also engaging your glutes, hamstrings, abductors, adductors, and calves. Maintaining good balance and coordination is key to effective movement.

Technique tips

• Ensure you are comfortable with basic turning and stopping techniques.
• Always wear appropriate protective gear to prevent potential injury.
• Maintain a comfortable, consistent pace for longer endurance sessions.
• Incorporate speed intervals to boost your cardiorespiratory challenge.
• Focus on smooth, controlled movements to enhance balance.

How to track your progress

Log distance and time. Straddly tracks your pace and your longest effort, and marks new bests automatically.
