The Fitness Benefits of Skating

Skating combines high calorie burn with low joint impact. A moderate session burns 500+ calories per hour, while competitive speed skating can exceed 1000 calories.

Whether you're doing laps at the local rink, playing hockey, or enjoying a frozen lake, ice skating is a potent lower-body workout. It builds explosive power in the glutes and quads while requiring constant stabilization from the core and ankles.

Why It Works

Posture & BalanceForces engagement of deep stabilizer muscles to maintain balance on thin blades.
Low ImpactGliding motion minimizes the pounding on joints associated with running.
