Skating of all types is a really enjoyable way to keep your body toned, keep fit as well as have lots of fun. Rollerblading and ice skating have become really popular with many towns opening rinks especially for these pastimes. Encouraging children to be healthy and enjoy a session of skating will stop them becoming unfit as adults spending too much time in front of a computer or television.

Ice skating has been popular for many years and lots of young people take it up at competition level and go on to be very successful in later life. Roller skating has also enjoyed a resurrection and is now very popular in the form of roller discos with very bright, funky styles of roller skate being worn to disco music.

Whichever form of skating is your favourite, if you are going to skate regular you have to decide whether to buy your own skates or rent them. There are many disadvantages to renting skates and it may be advantageous to buy your own. One of the biggest advantages is the cost. If you rent a pair of ice skates or roller skates every week you will eventually have paid more than the cost of your own skates. Rental boots tend to be a poorer quality and may be worn, showing signs of wear and tear. This can cause problems with the fit of the boot and if you are wearing rental skates that are worn you may experience discomfort or not skate as well.
