No matter what your age or skating ability - Skorpion Skates will allow you to enjoy all the health benefits of roller skating in the most convenient and comfortable way possible.  

Recommended by the American Heart Association

Recommended by the American Heart Association (AHA) as one of the best aerobic activities for improving the fitness of the heart and lungs, roller skating involves all of the body's muscles and is equivalent to jogging in terms of health benefits, leg strength development, body fat reduction and the amount of calories burnt. In fact, just one hour of moderate roller skating at 6 mph will burn up approximately 350 calories for a 143-pound person, and an hour of vigorous skating at 10 mph will burn up to 590 calories. Studies have also shown that roller skating causes 50% less impact shock to joints than running – and with Skorpion skates, the impact could even be less.

So Comfortable and Easy to Use

The ability to wear your most comfortable athletic shoes combined with the unique shock absorbing technology and flexible footplates of Skorpion skates, enables you to get in shape on Skorpion Skates with minimal stress on your feet and joints. Skorpion Skates are also easy to use. They have the lowest centre of gravity of any skates available, which makes them very stable and easy to balance on.

Great for Athletic Cross Training and Injury Recovery

Even if you’re already an active exerciser or athlete, Skorpion Skates are ideal for strength and stamina training for long distance skaters, skiers and runners – and for retaining fitness while recovering from injuries.

Just as Good as Cross Country Skiing and Nordic Skating

When used in conjunction with standard skate poles, Skorpion Skates can also simulate Cross Country skiing and Nordic skating - making them a perfect cross training medium. Along with enhancing aerobic fitness, Skordic Skating assists with the development of leg and mid torso muscles more safely and effectively than running, raises the body’s endurance levels, and improves your balance, coordination and muscular strength. The arm action associated with using poles works the upper body, increases aerobic activity and further enhances balance and coordination.

So whether you want to skate at a rink, skate around the city streets and parks, Skordic Skate or do some adventurous skating off-road - it’s really easy to stay in shape on Skorpion Skates. You can even participate with your friends and family and help them get fit too.
