INDIANAPOLIS -
Skateland will be continuing to encourage families to get out of the house and participate in a fun activity with tremendous fitness benefits yet again this summer. This is part of an on-going effort by Skateland to combat childhood obesity. FREE admission skate sessions will be offered from 6:00-9:00pm on Thursdays throughout the summer beginning on June 14th.
According to the Roller Skating Association International:
· Roller skating provides a complete aerobic workout and involves all of the body's muscles, especially the heart.
· Roller skating is equivalent to jogging in terms of health benefits-caloric consumption, reduction of body fat and leg strength development.
· Roller skating is recognized and recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) as an aerobic fitness sport.
· The number of calories burned per hour while skating at 6 mph is 350 and 600 while skating at 10 mph.
This is the fourth year in a row that Skateland will be offering this very popular session. In an economy that still leaves families struggling for affordable entertainment venues, Skateland leads the pack in offering affordable family fun.
Skateland is located at 3902 N. Glen Arm Rd. in Indianapolis.
