Roller skating is an inexpensive way to have fun on the weekends. I know because Kiersten and I hit the floor on 8 wheels....That's right, we went roller skating for this week's In Your Backyard segment.

We had not been roller skating in about 15 years but for me it was like riding a bike. Once I laced up my skates and rolled onto the rink, it all came back to me..forward skating, backwards skating, crossover skating, spinning and even arabesques! Kiersten warned me before we got there that she wasn't that strong of a roller skater but she held her own and didn't fall not once!

Check out the video at our day at the rink and remember, not only is roller skating fun and inexpensive but you can get a good work out while doing it!
