Inline Skating To Lose Weight/keep Fit?

[simon43]

I'm looking for an additional 'sport' that I can partake in that helps me to keep fit/lose weight. I already cycle every day.

Inline skating looks fun and surely must be a good fitness sport. At Maikhao Beach (Phuket), there is a cycle path that runs for maybe 3km which looks smooth enough for some fast inline skating. (This is where I cycle...)

Does anyone do inline skating? Pros/cons? where to buy equipment etc

Good work out burning 1,000+ calories per hour (depending on your weight). Not too sure I would want to skate in Thailand though, what with the general standard of driving . I've seen In-line skates and everything that comes with it in all the large sport shops in BKK.
