Roller skating has been around for hundreds of years. That’s right, it’s been around that long! The first recorded invention was WAY back in 1760 by John Joseph Merlin. Of course, roller skating is usually known as a fun and carefree time (who doesn’t love to strap on some skates and feel the wind in their hair?). But did you know there are other benefits of roller skating for both kids and adults?

BENEFITS OF ROLLER SKATING

Won’t Break the Bank
