Exercise and Obesity

Rates of walking and cycling were analyzed in 14 countries. Rates were highest in Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Spain, and lowest in the US, Australia, and Canada. Not surprisingly, the rates of diabetes and obesity were lowest in the countries where people did the most walking and cycling. (source: Am J Public Health, Oct. 2010)

| Description:
|
Here's a new style of roller skates....sort of a cross between skates and rollerblades.
|
| How It Works:
|
The photo above is a side view. Each skate has 4 wheels: you skate on 3 wheels and the 4th wheel -- at the very back -- is your brake. The brake is activated by pressing the rear of the skate downward. You step into the skate similarly to inserting your ski boot into a ski; the length of the skate then automatically contracts to fit shoes up to size 13. One buckle (shown) fits across the top of your shoe. For fast skating, a 2nd buckle can be added that fits across the top of your ankle.
|
| Ideal For:
|
Anyone who likes to skate!
|
| Why It's Cool:
|
Three wheels provide more stability than rollerblades.
