My favorite type of exercise is just cruising in large spaces, going in circles and practicing my turns! New to the skating squad 😁😁

[@katiebracey7917]

same here!! it’s so fun !

[@Hannah-no1nm]

My favorite exercise is typically going on walks but I'm now learning to skate and that is absolutely becoming my favorite. I think the reason I like both goes hand in hand - there's something very peaceful about being able to walk or cruise and just lose yourself in your surroundings. I love listening to music while doing it and just being able to reset mentally.

[@foolgazer]

really cool to hear about the girl that broke her legs and used roller skating to help build up muscle again! I found myself in a wheelchair all of last year and didn't expect that I'd ever walk again, but my health turned around the last couple months and i've decided to start skating. It was on my list of things I'd take up if I ever found myself able to walk again 😊 I'm so excited!!

[@INDYJAMMAJONES]

Omg this makes me so happy to hear! I’m sorry you had to go through that, I wish you luck on your roller skating journey and hope it brings you joy 🛼❤️

[@EmoVanityHelloKitty]

So right about your mental state while skating my father had a heart attack, I got my first pair of skates within the same week. I was going through a lot my dog had also just passed away and it was my birthday! I put on those skates during all of this skated all day on my birthday and all that week at the tennis court with my husband and I just cant explain how much it helped me mentally during those times!

[@girlbythebeach]

My favourite skating exercise is doing bubbles backwards and forwards. I'm still learning, and I find it settles me down and gives me more confidence on my skates

[@savannahbrooks7825]

I have weight lifted for around 7 years, but recently my favorite exercise is to lift and then go outside and skate! Can do upper body, then lower on skates!! Love it

[@necrophiliac.-.cat5695]

my favroite type of skate exercise is just regular fast skating at the tennis court and during turns and stuff

[@ambermagnolia216]

I was just thinking about starting a 365 skate every day challenge and this video popped up in my feed. I'm gonna take that as a sign that yes I should start it! My favorite exercises are skating at the rink on Sundays and at the tennis courts during the week, hiking, hula hooping (learning lol), and doing Ginger's dance classes on Mondays!

[@rannpnut7681]

Each person has different abilities, so lemme give you the idea that you can do a modified 365 days of sk8, where people can do a rest day, and just continue with the next day next time they sk8. Just wanted to remind you that it’s ok to rest sometimes, cuz I found that taking a few days off during my period was what my body needed, and I had been ignoring that. Went to the sk8park next time, and got some new tricks that I had been stuck on for a while.

[@ambermagnolia216]

@@rannpnut7681 Thank you! I figured there might be a few times where all I can do is put on the skates and skate in my garage for a few min lol

[@lesliej95]

My favorite skating exercise is skating with my 3 year old. He loves it so much! Hes so fearless and he learns so quick.

[@MrHermesThoth]

Skates are also good weight-bearing therapy for leg bone strengthening, to help not get osteoporosis in older age. My outdoor skates each weigh 1.6 kilos, 3.5 pounds, which is quite heavy.

[@SensationallySilky]

I have been suffering for years and only just recently learned I have an anterior pelvic tilt. I lost 80 pounds through a variety of things, but these last two and a half months on wheels have been PIVOTAL in my pain relief. When I started, I was on ski poles and I had to pre-load on NSAIDS before rink nights. Now I can skate several days in a row without knee pain, I'm out here dropping it low (the bring up is still slow but hey it's progress), and where my right hip was always tight feels considerably better after my sessions. I can also feel where my quads and hams are reactivated, which is better for my pilates game. And getting better in that game makes my skating game better. My only regret is that I ever stopped skating in the first place. Returning at 50 wasn't/isn't easy. Not to mention the mental health benefits - This fall weather on the East Coast right now? Late afternoon skates with the breeze in your face and the tunes in your ears? It honestly gets no better.

[@karinwade]

I love going to my local rink and doing a few artistic moves while letting the music move me! I love the feeling of flying around the rink, using the wall and practicing my balance skating. I'm 50 and love receiving compliments from the kids and teens! I bought the shirt, Indy!

[@roxiehardin4995]

My favorite exercise is simply feeling the wind in my hair and gliding through space on my roller skates. I love to dance so I enjoy practicing roller dance moves!

[@ayeshahassan1867]

I'm learning to skate again after several years. I'm 50+ and not 20 anymore, but skating has given me a new found joy. I haven't been able to pravtice daily since buying my new skates a few weeks ago, BUY I'm getting better every time. The freedom I feel, wind in my hair, just makes me wanna float. Thank you for this video.😊

[@alenastewart9883]

Hi Indy, Love the new merch! I have two outdoor routes near home I love that are always my staples each week for skating exercise, they place me along the ocean. My happy place. I keep my skates in my car now and as soon as I see the chance I get them on just anywhere. I’m no longer worried what anyone else may think. Skating makes me happy and my favourite exercise is finding challenging surfaces where I need to quickly lift my feet, jump and focus; once I hit a smooth surface, I just mentally feel free and, I smile. 🌸

[@TheNightmareFiary]

As I am still new on rollerskates my favorite exercise is just trying to stay up and not fall!

[@charliesessler2650]

My favorite roller skating exercising is trail skating! I love finding a new trail to explore and conquer. It is so much fun and great exercise!

[@ere1614]

I love skating trails but I want to try derby 🖤 I also miss skate rinks (haven’t been since I was a kid)

[@SieSie.]

Honestly, I just enjoy skating for the fun of it

[@fghandmade]

I haven't skated for years, I finally bought some skates recently and my son skates with me as well! We have so much fun together, its our thing now. He is almost 21 years old and he enjoys our time together and even his friends join us 🤗 you are so right about feeling free and it being a stress reliever. I am so happy to get back skating cause I definitely don't like the gym scene, this is a great way to get that exercise and have fun doing it! Thank you for all your videos, love watching and learning. Take care ❤

[@karenguardamondo1258]

Hi Indy! Agree! You have just described ALL of the reasons that I love to skate... I met you when I was first relearning to skate after a 35 year absence, now I skate a 6 mile trail every day! Thanks for the continued inspiration, and yeah I love the new merch!

[@PuertoRocCutie23]

My favorite exercise on skates is street skating! I just love being able to get out and see new places and people. The different terrains help me keep my balance and my mind focused. It’s such a great therapy/getaway from the everyday life! 🙌🏽♥️

[@youtuberperson]

Skating is my current favorite exercise. Your love of skating is very motivating. Thank you! Can't wait to learn more about slomo. 💖

[@laylacova]

Que bonito habla del skate con mucho amor , empecé a patinar desde cero y me encanta 🌈💖

[@christinetempleton7657]

I've mostly been walking lots... I have 4 smaller dogs and they need the outside time too. We walk 3 to 5 miles a day together, in a total of 4 times out during the day. When I was young, I roller skated like a crazy girl... all the time and on those scary metal skates that you attach to shoes. I'm getting back into it now and I'm looking forward to getting to that relaxed flow state. I remember that from running, which I enjoyed for many years, until I became concerned about a hip joint. Nice video, Indy, it's inspiring to see someone so enthused about a sport. It's FINALLY cooling off in the central valley of California and we are entering some primo skating weather, I love the Fall season. I get to check it out on skates this year, yaaaaay!

[@TracyFre]

I have a row machine and dumb bells that i have been using for awhile now. But I recently just started roller skating again and am loving it cause it gets me outside.

[@coralinebbb]

M’y favorite exercise is skating with my hubby ! I’m still sort of a beginner so I just love to watch some of your videos before and try it right after on my skates. When I succeed in something, when it clicks, there’s not better feeling in the world !

I have been doing at home HIIT workouts and indoor cycling for the last year and a half. I was so stoked to get into roller skating and now that I’ve got my skates I find myself skating more and doing less of my ‘regular’ routine. This is going to sound crazy but thank you for making this video and validating skating as good exercise! I am fully aware it is indeed a physical activity and I even track my skate sessions on my Apple Watch and burn just under 300 cals every time I go out. It’s all just changing your routine and figuring out what works for you. So safe to say roller skating is my favorite exercise atm lol

[@colineluton7340]

I just love trying new tricks! And I love your videos! please, keep up the good work: you've helped me a lot with getting better and better!

[@anaktazija]

I had an ankle trauma and my calf muscles on one leg were kinda dead for a while, rollerskating totally helped to build the muscle back up! Skating is amazing!😍

[@bowling_with_yarn]

I love doing the classic bubbles!

[@vicar5732]

I love cruising on trails through the mountains and around lakes eith my dog! I also ride horses, play golf, run, and love going to the gym!

[@jillhernandez1922]

Hi, my favorite exercise to do on roller skating is pole dancing. I'm obsessed! I keep my beach bunnies on all day at home. I mop, vaccuum, bake breads... you name it, I do it in skates💚🤘🏻

[@blackwidowsk8]

Thanks Indy I love youuuuu!!

[@atomicalice0]

Hmmm my favorite exercise on skates, just trail skating and practicing bubbles and going backwards and such! I’m still a novice 😍 I am also in love with yoga and working with a punching bag! All the variation and fun 💜 lovely video Indy, thank you 🙏

[@1AAALLLlYAHHHHH]

Hi you are a big inspiration to me as a young skater.My fave exercise on roller skates is going on ramps

[@kellylowood2450]

I'm really new to skating (only been out 3 times so far) and loving it. My main sport is running and started skating as I needed a new exercise to mix things up a bit. Best decision ever as it helps me relax, recover and stretches my legs and hips out. Not only that I love the freedom and enjoyment of it without the big goals I have in my running. I'm still learning and have a long way to go but the challenge is so good for my mental health (never in a good place with that) so, yeah, thanks skating for the positivity

[@crzyinzan3]

I like dancing, learning gymnastics and outdoor skating as exercise.

[@karinaaragon3262]

Woohoo!!! Love roller skating. I actually went in person during COVID-19 Pandemic to get my Roller Skates in the Long Beach store. I dance while skating. Beats are on and after watching your tutorials I start to practice. 🙌🏻❤️🐒

Very great video!

[@aliceastromech]

I’m obsessed with jumping, still remember how AWESOME I felt the first time I successfully 180 jumped from forward to backwards (and vice versa.) Jumping in succession always gets my heart rate up.

[@bluejean500]

i just started skating again so don’t have any favorite skating exercises, but my favorite way to “work out” is hooping. i can’t wait to combine hooping with skating & already watched your video on that. 🙂

[@edenkromer507]

my favorite type of excersize on rollerskates is long distance skating. or just hanging at the skate park

[@liafalkowski9821]

My favorite thing is bombing hills on my skates around here in Santa Cruz. Thx for your informative vids!

[@heathermutz8869]

I love jumping to stop backwards!! And I paddle on my stand up board for exercise 😎

[@Leadbullproductions]

So I do bodybuilding and running. Roller Skating has been a fun addition this year that I picked up. Already having a good base for muscle, cardio and balance has made it easy to pick this up. I did find out I had a muscle imbalance between the legs. I couldn't balance on one side and one leg was definitely a little beat on the side after sessions.

[@christophermoore4374]

I love all kinds of workouts but skating is one of my favorites. I also like running and hiking.

[@goldidoks-]

I’m new to roller skating so I’m still working on balance and speed on my skates. I love cruising and listening to music while doing this exercise.

[@rochellemurrell4146]

I love long distance trail skating and cardio kick boxing.

[@StarshineStudio]

My fav exercise is a toss-up between living room dance party and gymnastics. I agree with you in that exercise should be fun! It should be viewed as play like when we were kids. The worst thing I did after high school was to think I should stop training in gymnastics, stop rollerblading, and living that joy of play. PS I love that you included the mental health aspect of it! My therapist said "moderate exercise 30 minutes/day 4-5x/week is just as good if not better than antidepressants." Later skater✌🏻

[@yunibbe]

where can we get that helmet!? I love the color! Also love your videos!

[@blankspaceforyou]

My favorite type of exercise on roller skates is going up and down hills. So challenging going up which I love, and so fun going down which I love even more! 🤩

[@crazychick1345]

My favorite type of exercise has been working on backwards skating and spins! I’ve been in love with figure skating style and it’s been helping me feel more confident in my body and feel graceful when I’m out there!! Nothing else matters but me and the wheels on the ground having fun😌

[@Paradoxataur]

My favorite thing to do for exercise on skates is pumping!! It's so fun and I feel my core activated the whole time! 💖💖💖

[@elishacoyle7009]

Couldn't help but think of you when I was at an estate sale last weekend and they had a pair of those metal clip roller skates like the ones that needed the key!! It made me think of that really cool video you made not to long ago where you skated while playing your ukelele and singing that song! Incidentally they looked at me like I'l lost my mind when I asked if they had the key to the skates. lol

[@10mittal]

My favourite exercise on skates is ramp skating. I especially like pumping or even learning how to skate backwards as I am not thorough with that yet. I have been skating for a year or so, and as far as i know, it's a great exercise and a fun activity to get you pumped up.

I use a tracker for my roller skating and I've always wondered this myself. There are skate days that I skate for an 1h and I end up with like 193 burned calories for 6miles and other days for the same time and distance I burned 765 calories. I don't do anything different. Why is the that? Why is the tracker soooo off? What is the real calorie burn?

[@wndrwmn72a44]

I agree! I usually burn about 600 calories an hour skating.

[@gabyflores9412]

@@wndrwmn72a44 i wonder how accurate this is. Fitness wise i hope it's true

[@OG_Beckie_Leigh]

I haven’t been able to find a good skating tracker yet. I wear a Garmin Venu, and it will randomly start auto activity tracking when I’ve been rink skating for an hour or so. All I know is that I work up a good sweat and get the endorphins pumping during a session, so I’m going to call it a success. LOL ✌🏼💜🛼

[@xxharleyquinnxx9504]

I love the shirt when I saw it on the youtube shorts video. I'm still a beginner skater but exercise on skates I love is pushing really hard to go fast like you're running, or attempting to run on toe stops! I love that skating can be fast and aggressive and still fun! If I don't win the giveaway I'll probably go buy the shirt anyway 😅

[@lyndseyposey748]

My favorite way to exercise is bounce skating! Keeping up with the bouncers at my rink takes a lot of effort, but it's so fun that it's totally worth the sore legs and major state of sweatiness 🤪 I also LOVE trail skating with my dad who runs, and skating downtown where there are lots of different footings to maneuver :)

[@ladyalfhildrforestofvioletmist]

Hmm, I'd have to say my favorite skating exercise right now is probably skating bubbles! I'm still kind of a beginner I know, but it's fun to just wave my feet in and out and see how still I can get my upper body to be while my feet are bouncing :) I've also been getting better at going out wider with my feet; it's been a long time since I did dance classes and I never could quite do a full split, but it's fun to feel some of that flexibility coming back so I can get closer to one! Plus one time a kid at the skate park saw me skating bubbles and she told me I looked cool, soooo * _insert sunglasses emoji_ * hahaha :)

Currently recovering from roller skating fall which resulted in dislocated ankle and broken fibula but itching to get fit again (and practicing falling so I can fall safely and immediately as I tried to stay upright and paid for it) so I can get back roller skating, it clears my mind as well as helping me stay physically fit! Oh & hubby has skates now so we can skate together 💜

[@lirastolons4951]

My background is mountain biking (also my fav exercise) and I have a friend that likes to roller skate and I told her I would go, so I got a pair of roller skates (candi girl) on clearance because they were returned for $50 and I’m scared to go outside with them so I went to a roller rink with my friend and it was literally the most terrifying thing I’ve done as an adult. I’m hoping to get more time in the rink this winter so I’ll be comfortable to go outside in the spring. Wish me luck 🙂
