Young Mercury pondering what to do with the aircoaster!


A social tool

You must be familiar seeing a group of skaters happily zig-zagging around the playground, occasionally screaming as they were about to knock into each other. Well, when they roller skate together, they will help to cultivate more cohesiveness among themselves and this will certainly bring about social health.

Skate Dancing Have you heard of Rexing, Rink rexing, Line rexing, spot rexing, downtown, rhythm skating, box step, crazy legs? If you have, then you know that it is the new way to enjoy dancing with your roller skates, in pairs, or groups, moving, jumping, shuffling your feet in tune to great music, at the indoor skating rinks.
Young and old alike, people are finding that this form of dancing and skating is a great way to stay trim and at the same time, enjoy the benefits of social dancing.



Some good news for elder women According to the US National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute(NHLBI), women who are trying to lose weight can benefit as much from a moderate physical activity as from an intense workout.
An issue of the Journal of American Medical Association dated September 10, 2003, stated that there is an association between physical activity and a reduced risk of breast cancer in post menopausal women. It seems that even light but regular exercise regimen has its benefits. It goes further to say that a weekly workout of about 3 hours will be sufficient, and can bring about a weight loss of about 12 pounds, provided they maintain a low caloric meal intake.
Here, we would like to encourage older women to take up again the joys of roller skating for good healthy benefits. The aircoast roller skate is especially suitable because it is designed to be more stable with it's low center of gravity. You can now skate for health reasons.

In another related report by researcher Dr. Anne Mctiernan of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle,where she was quoted as saying that studies have shown that exercises may help counteract, but not cancel out breast cancer, heart attack and strokes of women who had being given hormone treatment for post menstrual symptoms. Light exercises like walking, biking and even relaxed roller skating will go a long way in reducing breast cancer, even if they had started engaging in such activities late in their lives. Men should also take the opportunity to accompany their wives on such exercises so as to kill two birds with one stone, as their own health is also being enhanced, so there is really a reason to skate for health enhancements!


Some health aspects of roller skating

  • Many people take roller skating as a form of recreation. Do you know that working out on your sneaker roller skates is an efficient way to burn off excess of carbohydrates? If you roller skate for 30 minutes, you will be able to burn off 300 calories. And if you speed skate, as well as going against the wind, you will be able to chip off another 100 calories!

  • A daily workout of just 10 minutes will strengthen your leg muscles, compared to dieting programs which will most likely burn off your muscles instead!
    When you do roller skating, you can develop your inner and outer thigh muscles, which you do not get by running. As you slightly bent your knees, these muscles(adductors and abductors)gain strength and with regular workouts, will enhance your muscular endurance.

  • Regular skating will certainly improve your balancing skills, and this will bring you much benefit when you reach your twilight years because you will not easily trip and fall down. Your bones become more brittle as you age, and breaking it at middle or old age is definitely to be avoided, at any cost!
    There is this fear of getting arthritis in your leg joints when you get old and one of the best way to lessen this occourance is to go skating instead of running and jogging because unlike running, skating will not impose lots of pounding effect on your leg joints, thereby reducing considerably joint injuries! Another health benefit of skating.

  • Do you know that regular workouts on your sneaker roller skates can help you in managing your stress! Ever seen those cool chaps doing their paces around parks, oblivious to the happenings around them? Just like cool cats, they are really practicing stress management, always calm! Another example of skating for health.

  • Do you skate together with family members? A family outing in the park is a very healthy activity, from the social point of view. More so if skating is included and the roller skates regime will certainly add meaning to the often heard truism of 'the family that plays together, sticks together, through thick and thin'.

  • Parents are having lots of problem coping with their children's exercises. With ever increasing uptake of fast foods, and more time spent on computer games and other online activities, most parents are short on ideas on how to encourage their kids to exercise more. And sometimes, buying appropriate toys might not solve the problems when the kids have their minds set on other unsuitable choices. So how to tackle such problems then? One easy way out is to get them some roller skates so that they will learn all the ups and downs of life.

Stop Press

Health and Human Services secretary Tommy G. Thompson, on July 16, 2004 before the American Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education, testified that "Obesity is a critical public health problem in our country that causes millions of Americans to suffer unnecessary health problems and to die prematurely, thus treating obesity-related illnesses and complications adds billions of dollars to the nation's health care cost."

He further declared that obesity is a disease!

Here is a poser----what does George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Kobe Bryant, Tom Cruise and President George W.Bush have in common?........

Yes, you guised it right, they are all considered over-weight!!
