Is using in-line skates an easier form of exercise (on the heart & lungs) than jogging?

After a scary Hyper-ventilation attack a few weeks ago after jogging/running, I was wondering if skating was easier on the lungs and heart, as I've quit smoking and need (or feel the need to) know what I can do with my body but want to take it easy!

They are very good, but take a lot of practice. Since it takes less effort than running, you will have to cover a lot of ground to get the same workout, and most routes will have lots of obsticles that are much trickier to navigate on wheels than on foot, especially if you aren't paying close attention, and are not good at stopping.


Not to mention, all the gear you will need is a bit of a pain.


But, I would still do it, because it's fun and better on the knees, heart, lungs, etc.
Reply:Skating is no easier on the heart and lungs than any other CV exercise: It's only as hard as you make it for yourself.

Reply:As alot of people have said, it is a good exercise. Sorry to hear about your panic attack, you may have been runing to fast or doing too much too quickly.





Ii you are looking for result, in my opinion, running is better and you can download a running schedule should you want to re think your options. Why not even try both? that way you wont get tired of exercise and see the results or get the fitness you are after? Good luck in what you try!
Reply:I feel you are approaching exercise to rapidly, you need to build up slowly, give your lungs a chance to start working efficiently again, so wether its skating, jogging, swimming, cycling, start slow and build up.
