Star City Skate Center is hosting special events, activities and promotions to promote National Roller Skating Month (NRSM). Families, kids and teens are encouraged to go to Star City Skate Center, dedicate themselves to achieving an active lifestyle and joining the RSA as we roller skate a million miles.
“Roller skating has been a popular fitness activity for over 75 years and the industry is currently seeing an upswing of adults returning to this beloved activity,” said Delonte Campbell of Star City Skate Center. “These adults now bring their own children to enjoy one of their favorite activities together as a family. With the rise in popularity of roller derby, speed skating and artistic figure roller skating, roller skating centers are opening throughout the world at an amazing pace to keep this timeless popular activity alive.”
Roller skating is a unique way to achieve health benefits while having fun. The average person can burn 350 calories by skating at a rate of six miles per hour. This number increases to 600 calories if that same person averages 10 miles per hour. Roller skating centers have partnered with The President’s Challenge Program and Let’s Move with the mission of keeping kids active and healthy in a safe environment. Roller skating is also recommended by the American Heart Association as an aerobic fitness sport.
The President’s Challenge is a program that encourages all Americans to make being active an important part of their everyday lives. No matter what your activity and fitness level, The President’s Challenge Program can help motivate you to improve. For more information please visit www.presidentschallenge.org.
