And this is where I create a prompt to answer my own question 😂 I think it's a great starting point and you can easily customize the fundamentals and form a rotation for them : ---------- Here's a balanced one-hour roller skating workout that incorporates fundamental drills and time to practice new moves: Warm-up (10 minutes) - Slow Skate: Skate at a relaxed pace to warm up your legs and joints. - Crossovers (Both Directions): Practice crossovers while skating in a circle to engage your hips and legs. - Lunges: Perform deep lunges while rolling slowly to stretch your muscles. Fundamental Drills (25 minutes) 1. Heel-toe Stop (5 minutes): 2. T-Stops (5 minutes): 3. Skating Backwards (5 minutes): 4. Cone Weaving (5 minutes): 5. One-Foot Glide (5 minutes): New Moves Practice (20 minutes) - Choose a new move you'd like to learn or improve. Here are a couple of options depending on your skill level:Transitions: Practice transitioning from skating forward to backward (and vice versa) smoothly.Spins: Start with basic two-foot spins, gradually working your way to one-foot spins as you get more comfortable.Jumps (if you're more advanced): Begin with small hops and progress to jumping over small obstacles (imaginary or real). Cool-down (5 minutes) - Slow Skate: Skate at a relaxed pace to bring your heart rate down. - Stretch: Focus on your legs, hips, and lower back with deep stretches. This workout helps reinforce fundamentals while giving you time to explore new skills. Adjust the duration of the drills or practice time based on your preferences or skill level.

@Paul Schmidt chatgpt gave me a good answer I thought was worth sharing 😅

I love to skate because of the exercise, the challenge to learn and progress and smooth out moves.. And for the sheer joy of movement and dance. It is probably the only form of exercise where I break into a good sweat without noticing or caring.

@Jeff Goggin Mary Ann here 🙋‍♀️😄

@Toi MissToi I looove fomacs, but you for sure have to be on point with your balance because you have zero grip on those edges. My biggest issue is how smooth the slide is that I feel like I don't even need to pick my feet up off the ground. I have to keep reminding myself to pick those feet up and bounce on beat 😅

@Khara Plicanic awesome, right?!! It's a whole other level.. I started learning with hybrid wheels.. When i got my first sets of super hard and super soft wheels, I was blown away by the differences too.

My only recommendation is to Google anything you don't understand. Here's a page with tons of things to practice and videos to explain them further. Good luck! https://www.hoop-trix.com/QuadSkateTricks/QuadSkateTricks.html
