The benefits of inline skating
Published
10 years agoon
Inline skating doesn’t just look cool – it’s also good for your health. The sport builds muscle strength and endurance, improves balance, coordination and heart health, and is recommended by many fitness professionals as a good cross-training tool for skiers, mountain bikers and runners. It’s low impact as well, making it a great way for those recovering from injuries to stay in shape.
Trail runners need strong lateral muscle strength and coordination from the adductor muscles on the inside of the thigh and outside of the hip. This allows for stabilizing on rocks and rugged terrain, and leaping across mud puddles or other obstacles. For running steep terrain, they also need strong posterior muscles to climb hills and strong quadriceps to control the descent. Skating helps strengthen all of these muscles by moving side to side and creating “muscle-confusion” that will leave you sore in all the right places. As your skating improves, your ability to run technical trails will too.
Rollerblade Women’s Macroblade 90 Skate
I am amazed how much inline skate construction has advanced since I last rollerbladed more than a decade ago. Rollerblade’s Macroblade 90 is smooth and fun for all levels and will give you the support and control needed to truly progress. This skate is incredibly comfortable, and offers a high performance aluminum frame, seamless construction and a lace lock system to keep your foot secure. The 90 mm supreme series wheels handle well on many surfaces, and provide a higher rebound when pushing off. The women’s specific model has a higher instep, narrower heel and lower cuff to put you in the right stance. Whether you’re just starting out, or want to skate more aggressively and advance your fitness, this is an outstanding all-around skate. $199.00 – Kelsey Dzintars

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
