Any and all skating works nearly every muscle group in the body. Gliding requires balance and synchronized movement of the arms and legs, which is important for joint flexibility. It strengthens the leg and abdominal muscles. Plus, skating is great cardiovascular health.

When we say Better Skating, we are including a wide range of skates and skating styles. The chronology or evolution of skating started with ice skating as far back as 3000 years ago. Roller skating developed from ice skating in the 1700’s.  Then skateboarding developed from roller skating in the 1960’s. This in turn influenced snowboarding in the 1970’s. 



Roller skating has been a popular recreational activity and sport since the 1880’s. It first appeared as far back as the mid 1700’s in vaudeville stage acts, perhaps to simulate ice skating?
Roller skating involves traveling over hard surfaces on skates. Roller skating is the gliding across a hard surface on wheels fixed to the bottom surface (sole) of shoes (skates). Today they utilise the hard surfaces of roads, walking paths, cycle paths or purpose-built skate parks.
