Great full body exercise, and all done before some people wake up.

Sleep is important, and eating right. Otherwise you'll get very sluggish and not keep your head up




Aslong as you have a hockey boot roller blades, the transition isnt that drastic.
the fitment of the boot isn't the big issue. i dont think anyone plays roller hockey in fitness inlines... there is a big difference between ice roller, in particular the rocker.. also, pivoting, edge, stopping, turning are all different. on top of that, speed of the game, weight of the puck, and speed of the puck.

it usually takes me about 2-3 games to be 100 percent transitioned from one to the other.. and i have played both for over a decade
