Blade training begins

First day roller bladin and it went ok. The rollerblades themselves feel pretty good, alittle right at the toes probably because of my really wide feet. I'm hoping I can break them in. I practiced on our running track, pretty good idea because the track didn't let me go too fast so I could focus on form. Since I was going at a controlled speed I could concentrate on my form and balance. And wiping out didn't hurt at all lol. Looking forward to next session.

My roller blades came today!!! I am so excited to add them into my workout regiment. I have read they work the quads hamstrings calves and buttocks pretty good and also the abs to a lesser extent. What I gathered from my meet in February was that I lacked strength coming to the board and pushing off. This should help. I plan on doing morning skates and/or warmup/cooldown skates around workouts. Should be a nice way to relax and 'meditate'. I have tried yoga for the past month or so, but I think I need intense motion to feel calm, oddly. And also I'd really like to be a speed demon, always has been a dream of mine. Olympics 2018!!! jk

In other news, did some cycling and arm weights at the gym today. Felt a pretty good burn, nothing spectacular though. Wasn't really able to do the workout I wanted since so many people were at the gym.
