Can someone bee too fat to inline skate?

I%26#039;ve decided to take on inline skating but my feet hurt. I%26#039;ve done the %26quot;bending the knees%26quot; and the %26quot;relaxing%26quot; and I%26#039;ve checked my skates for size.





Mind you, I%26#039;m not fat-fat... rather, I%26#039;m %26quot;top heavy%26quot; (hahaha)... still, should I try to lose some weight *before* starting to inline skate? Thanks.

Are your skates comfortable? Maybe they%26#039;re too narrow? Are they plastic, or soft-boots? Soft boots are alot more comfortable, and definitely recommended. Sometimes, you need to skate around (warm-up) for 10-30 minutes before the pain subsides.





I am also a top-heavy woman, and have experienced foot pain. As long as the skate is a comfortable fit, the pain should disappear after warming up. Skate slowly for about 10-30 minutes. The longer you skate, the better your feet should feel. I notice that if I have long periods of time where I DON%26#039;T skate, I will experience the pain again, so try to skate as much %26amp; as often as you can.





If you%26#039;d like to lose weight, skating can help, so just keep skating. Start off slowly, enjoy the wind in your face, and just have fun! As you get more comfortable, go faster, and longer--your core muscles (ab/back), your glutes, your quads, your hamstrings, and your calves will tone up if you continue. Your body will thank you, but don%26#039;t forget the helmet, wrist guards, and pads!





Hope your pain goes away, Happy Rolling!
Reply:Yes, someone can be. Some people can%26#039;t even stand up.





If your feet hurt, perhaps you need more padding? Like 2 think pairs of socks? or perhaps a little weight loss b4 starting would be good.
Reply:It does require that you can see your feet.
