The following exercise is excellent for improving your Mohawks and spread eagles by improving the range of hip rotation. It is important to avoid trying to do a spread eagle with a twist at the knees or ankles, since this can cause painful damage to these joints. The stretch is achieved my trying to push your pelvis and feet toward the floor. Skating is an excellent activity for increasing your fitness level. A big difference between aerobics and skating is that skaters seem to like skating much more than aerobics-people like aerobics.
People do aerobics to keep fit.
People skate because it's fun. If you like it, you'll do more of it, and consequently, gain more due to the additional exercise. The easiest of these to deal with is your ego. Don't worry, everyone who has ever skated has fallen. They've fallen because they forgot to take their blade guards off.
