Rollerblading has solved any issues I have, I cross train with about 30 mins of cycling 3-4 days a week too. When you start skating older you have to pad up, I combined that with a slackboard and just standing on one leg with my eyes closed. I went from feeling like an old man to now when I am basically impossible to knock over, my nervous system can catch me before I even realize it, at 15mph, when one foot strikes a rock, walking is now no problem, and sometimes I even sit on the floor without any old man groaning when I stand up. Also, tall box step ups (like 2ft), which is very tall, no back risk like weighted bar workouts. You have to pad up and go easy, it's a multi year process to get enough low impact reps up to build joint health, when you're older injuries are a real setback. Rollerblading is like bouldering for your legs and feet at speed, very fun, with an infinite progression curve that you can train at your own pace. |
