I'm 10 weeks post-op, doing cardio (elliptical, recumbent bike, hiphop)4-5x a week. My favorite exercise, however, is rollerskating (not blading).

Are there any other rollerskaters "in tha' house"? Have skates, will travel...

Wow! haven't done that since I was kid. But I always had my own skates (even shoe skates) and really loved it. Maybe I should take it up again!

I have gone skating alone in the past few years, but it is much more fun with a friend.

If you become interested in strapping on those skates, I'd like to go with you.

I haven't skated in a long time either. I really enjoyed it though. One of my mini-goal rewards is to buy a pair of skates. Do you skate at a rink or on streets?

Divanita- I dont have a pair but academy is just around the corner- how fun!! I am in the dallas area.!! While we are skating 2 fat chicks on skates, we can sing "cant rollerskate in a buffalo herd"!! LOL!!!! we will have a great time!!

Kutia- I skate at the rink. Summers outdoors are above 100 degrees, and the sidewalks are a bit uneven for this old lady!

Gonnabethin:-The skates can be rented at the rink, if you'd like. Are you familiar with a really nice rink in the DFW area? I'm ready to roll.:clap2:

Sure there are lots!! we could be the exercise support group for the area. Just let me know what side of the metroplex your on!!

Kutia what days are good for you? This would be SUCH fun!!!!

Thanks for finding those skating rinks, GBT! I live on Turtle Creek near downtown, so White Rock sounds good. But I'll drive to the one that is most convenient for you all! My favorite rinks are the ones that play popular music.

Kutia, which one is closer to you?

I'm not sure which is closest to me. Probably the one in Mesquite, but I'm willing to drive to anyone of them. Just about anyday will be good for me as long as I know by the day before. This would be fun!:clap2:

Let's see who is in:

I am game for either Saturday or Sunday afternoon. Would love to meet y'all there!

Sounds good. My next stop is Google to get directions and then I'm off to buy a pair of skates.

Sunday afternoon might be less crowded than Sat. What time should we meet? And how will we know who we are?

Absolutely!! It actually is centrally located for all of us. pick a day!! I work during the week so evenings and weekends are better for me also. SOOOO EXCITING!!!! I willl PM you my contact number after we all decide on a day.

Sunday is fine, Kutia. I'll PM each of you with my phone #.

Is Sunday okay with you, GBT?

Sunday is great!! Im pm both of you my number

I almost forgot. The rink manager strongly suggested "Wrist Guards" for us. Just for safety.
