Inline Fitness Skate
Bicycling or inline skating?
Which of these is better fitness and exercise wise? and why?
I'm trying to decide which to buy.
I would say both have benefits... Skating may be a little better as it requires a little more in the way of stabilistation, however in cycling the movement is more constant, you can also ride almost anywhere whereas with skates you may be limited.
I would say that both are great and just buy the one that seems like the most fun to you becuase that will be the thing that you do more often and it will be more benficial to do 30mins a day of the things you enjoy than no minutes a day of the other because you think it sucks and is borring, exercise should be as fun as possible so you are motivated to do it.

Inline skating proper posture?
I've been skating with a new pair of rollerblades for the past 2 weeks. I really like it, but I have just recently started feeling middle back pain, and I know it is from the skating. I am having a hard time getting a natural feeling of bending my knees and not leaning too far forward. I don't really bend my knees much, i lean forward more. so in dummy terms if you can help tell me how to do it... I just skate for recreation/fitness.
Many people try to stand up too straight. You want to be slightly forward. Think of having your knees, nose, and toes in a vertical line (when moving reasonably slow). This is similar to the stance that you see in other sports when a person wants to be ready to move in any direction quickly.
Work on the knee bending. It makes your stride smoother and longer.
