Are you seeking a fun way to get fit? Stay fit? Did you know that Roller Skating burns more than 700 calories per hour?

Sound interesting?

We are a newly forming group of ladies who are preparing for competition level roller derby skating bouts.

We practice 2 hours a week at local leisure centres in the Birmingham / Redditch area.

Sounds Great, O0, We have some old farts on this forum, that can skate,  ( years ago it was our main entrainment on week ends,) but I think they are little past it today, ( their bones are brittle now so,???). .... Good luck with your venture.. O0, from another old fart.  ^-^
