If you’ve followed me for awhile now, you know I love staying active by trying all sorts of different workouts. Apps, in-person classes, virtual classes, at-home workouts, you name it, and I’ve probably tried it. This week, I’ve been skateboarding around the neighborhood more than usual, and it’s made me really happy. I don’t do any tricks. I get scared when skateboarding downhill, but it keeps me feeling young and reminds me not to take myself too seriously. I thought I would share about my experience incase you want to try some time!

Benefits of skateboarding

Skateboarding is technically considered a full workout even though it doesn’t feel like it while you are riding.
It’s great for the cardiovascular system and it tones the lower body.
I also feel my abs being strengthened, because I’m using my core to balance on the board the entire time.
It’s great for burning calories.
It helps cheer you up if you’re in a sad mood (as does any exercise).
It provides you with a healthy outlet or form of escape after a hard day.
My husband and I use skateboarding as a way to bond since we both enjoy being active. (He’s much better than me, but it’s still fun to play and be outside together).

Oh my goodness I can honestly say I have ridden on a skateboard very slowly but I haven’t actually “skateboarded”. Cute pics by the way!
