Did you know that only about half of all adults get the recommended amount of exercise every day? No wonder so many people make New Year’s Resolutions to get in better shape every January! It can be daunting to get started if you haven’t exercised before, though, so here at Skate World Deer Park, we have some tips for fitness newbies!

• Skip the Car. Walking, riding a bike, or roller skating to your destination will not only benefit your body, it will save money on gas and help protect the environment. Next time you’re only going a short distance, leave the car in the driveway and use your own power to get there.

• Add Movement Whenever You Can. Take the stairs, park further away, and incorporate movement into your daily life. We all enjoy a good binge-watch of our favorite shows, so next time you’re vegging on the couch, add some exercises during commercial breaks.
• Make it Fun. It won’t come as a surprise to anyone that it’s hard to do things that aren’t enjoyable! That’s why roller skating at Skate World Deer Park is such a great fitness tool: it’s not only a great workout that’s easy on your joints and your wallet, it’s also a ton of fun.

We offer open skate sessions most days of the week, making our skate center a great addition to your 2018 fitness plan. We’re working hard to get healthier this year, and we hope you’ll join us at Skate World Deer Park!
