If TikTok Hasn't Convinced You to Buy a Pair of Roller Skates Yet, This Will

Because there are so many variations of roller skating and levels of intensity, the number of burned calories per workout can vary, Chelsea Nauratan-Burgos, a NASM-certified personal trainer and women's fitness specialist, told POPSUGAR. "If you're skating at moderate speed, you can burn about 250 calories in a 30-minute session; however, if you're speed skating, park skating, or dance skating, you can absolutely expect to see the calorie total higher." Hour-long rides that are more intense can burn around 600 calories, Meikle added. Likewise, as your heart rate increases and you're burning more calories, your body will also begin to burn fat.
