View Full Version : Can I count this as 'exercise'?

I just picked up a razor scooter at a yardsale for $5- I'm not the most coordinated person in the world, so biking and roller blading scare me- but I just tested this out, went for a ride around the block, and I can comfortably do it- more so, I'm sure, with practice...
But my question is, am I getting any decent exercise using it? I could def feel it in my legs- so I assume it's doing SOMETHING, right? Any idea of how many calories you can typically burn riding a scooter like this around?
Thanks!

You get SOME exercising with a razor, sure... But if you want to get fitt while burning calories, you should run or - if really needed - walk some 4 to 5 Kilometers every day.

I already do that, but it gets boring after a while- any idea of how many calories I can burn riding a scooter? Not a ton, I'm sure, but... just curious.
Thanks.
