<p style="text-align: left;">Inline skating is  a really great low-impact exercise  for aging joints. My main worry for older people, especially women, is bone density. The undeniable truth is that it&#8217;s not really a matter of <em>if</em> you fall, but <em>when</em> you fall. If you do have brittle bones or have not been exercising regularly for a few years, the impact of a fall is more likely to lead to injury. This is a serious consideration before going out and buying the gear. <span class="post-teaser-more">&nbsp;<a href="http://getrolling.com/blog/2011/05/06/faq-too-old/" title="Permanent Link: Sk8 FAQ: Am I too old to skate?" rel="bookmark">Read more...</a> <i>(405 words, estimated 1:37  mins reading time)</i></span></p>{"id":820,"date":"2011-05-06T16:22:28","date_gmt":"2011-05-06T23:22:28","guid":{"rendered":"http:\/\/getrolling.com\/blog\/?p=820"},"modified":"2011-06-26T19:20:03","modified_gmt":"2011-06-27T02:20:03","slug":"faq-too-old","status":"publish","type":"post","link":"http:\/\/getrolling.com\/blog\/2011\/05\/06\/faq-too-old\/","title":{"rendered":"Sk8 FAQ: Am I too old to skate?"},"content":{"rendered":"<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Inline skating is  a really great low-impact exercise\u00a0 for aging joints.
