skating must burn the most calories of any regular activity

[holden j caufield]

I have no empirical evidence but in socal I see them everywhere and the lot of them are all sticks. My idea for a weight loss center is too tie a skateboard to the feet of someone looking to lose weight. I will make millions?

 

[illusion88]

No. This is terrible... this idea.

I have skated since the seventh grade(1999). I have been the same size since then, five-ten, 135lbs.

It does work the hell out of you. Even a few minutes on a half pipe will tire you pretty quick.

Although I think boxing is the top in terms of calories burned.

 

[clamum]

It definitely can be a pretty tiring thing to do.

I think Surfing would be a better workout with all that swimming.

Skating makes you thin, surfing makes you ripped. It depends on which look you want.

Skaters are thin because they're on drugs.

You're better off making millions by creating a "jump to conclusions" mat.

I surf all the time I see these whales all the time especially on longboards. Surfing isn't a constant either, the bouys have to have some size, the local conditions can't be too messy and there are long lulls between sets.

I will definitely makes millions selling sarcasm detectors on ATOT

Confucious say, fat skater break many board.

 

[thepd7]

Actually, swimming is best. Plus, at first fat people will float so it's easy then gets harder as you lose blubber.

 

[Special K]

Perhaps the overweight people don't take up skating outdoors to begin with, which is why you rarely seen an overweight skater.

i started skating at age 12 or so, skated all thru high school. skated halfpipes everyday (had one in my backyard for a long time, 12ft wide, 40 ft long and 8ft high no, channel) and on weekends. ive always been overweight, skating that much changed nothing. we would travel and do street skating, visit other ramps and skate for hours on end. never made any real difference in my size.

on the same note, i worked setting up concerts for 12 to 15 hours a day, heavy manual labor. especially the last 4 years where i loaded the semis by hand with a few other guys. that made no real difference in my weight either. but, i can lift a few hundred over my head still.
