Skating, the best way to have fun while staying healthy

 Everybody should learn to take a few minutes out of his or her time to workout. I stumbled upon this skate group in Benin called ‘Shadow Blades’. Their red outfit was what got me wondering if they were part of the BHS skate group from Lagos, cause their color is also red… I wanted to meet them right away and share my own skating experience. They light the whole UniBen experience for me; to me they are that cute little group that’s got swag of their own.

As short as the experience was, it was quite something. Reason being that, in the next 30 minutes they displayed their skills for me, a lot of energy was bunt.

You see, skating offers a complete aerobic workout and health benefit that can be compared to jogging, am taking about burning 350 calories per hour while skating 6 miles per hour.

Benefit of skating again, so you know; 

Muscle endurance and strength will improve
 Flexibility will increase
Body composition will change due to calories burned
Cardio and respiratory endurance will increase
 Balance and coordination will improve
Mental clarity and connectivity will get better.
