How many calories does Roller blading burn an hour? I got anywhere from 600-800..is this true? That seems like a very high number for exercise like Roller blading.

It depends on how much you weigh and how fast you go.

A 120-lb skater going 10 mph burns about 14 calories per minute. This is about 285 calories per hour.

how do you determine how fast you are going?

I am taking up rollerblading hoping it will help me lose weight. I am 16, 5'4' and 140lbs. my goal is 120lbs.

You also have to factor in what type of bearing you have on your rollerblades. I have 7 ABEC bearing which makes the wheels spin much faster, but lessens the intensity. So, I'd really like to know how many calories I burn with that. I'm 5'6 and 170 lbs, but I'm very active as well, so is it possible that I have a faster heart rate than not so active people?
