Me neither. Of course, it could be one of two things: The fat kid tried skateboarding, and eventually quit because it was too hard, or he stuck with it, got relatively proficient, and leaned the heck out!
The bottom line is that skateboarding is great cardio! Now, I am not talking about X-Games style tricks and flips, but rather just "surfing the streets" on a cruiser board or longboard.
These past two weeks, I've been simply taking the Globe Bantam board out for a 30 minute spin per day, in the city streets, in the park trail... here, there, and everywhere. I've gotten so lean, even my skinny jeans are sagging now!
Don't let the societal perception of "skating" deter you (why is it that you see bicyclists of all ages, but rarely, if ever, a skateboarder over 30?). Dust off that old board, and prepare for one of the most effective, fun methods of stripping the fat off your body! In addition, it is a great mode of transportation!
