It’s not always easy to get started on a new exercise routine, especially for beginners. At Skate World Pasadena we’re among the millions of people who have resolved to get healthier in 2018. If you are too, check out some of our strategies for FITNESS in the new year!

• Find something fun. It’s hard to keep doing something you hate, and it’s hard to make new habits, so make things a little easier on yourself by picking an exercise routine you’ll enjoy.
• Ignore your haters, including your inner critic! Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re too old to start exercising, or that missing your goals one day (or one week, or even one month) means you’re a failure. Everybody is allowed to mess up. Just try again tomorrow!
• Take a friend with you to exercise. The buddy system isn’t just for kids! That doesn’t mean skating isn’t good exercise for kids too, though.
• Notice how you feel. You’ll start noticing the benefits of regular exercise soon. Focus on those when you start to get tired or busy and think about skipping.
• Eat more veggies. This is always good advice.
• Skate! It’s true: roller skating is GREAT exercise. It provides a cardio workout, endurance training, and muscle strengthening, and is easier on your joints than running.
• Skate more! Did we mention how often we’re open, and how affordable our prices are?

We can’t wait to work on our fitness goals here at Skate World Pasadena, and we hope you’ll come join us to work on yours!
