Switch up your boring fitness routine and slip on a pair of inline skates. Not only is it a great and easy way to burn a lot of calories, inline skating is fun, good for your muscles and much more scenic than running on that boring treadmill. Inline skates have come a long way since their initial release in the late 1990s. Whether you're an expert or a newbie, there is an inline skate out there for you.

K2 T Nine Celena

Thanks to a collaboration of women's groups and K2 engineers, this skate provides a smooth and stable roll. Built for speed, the skate features 90 mm wheels and ILQ-9 bearings for an easy glide. No need to fear sore ankles, this skate also comes with an enhanced stability cuff which provides maximum support while you skate. Available in many color schemes, K2 is a proud supporter of breast cancer research and provides pink and gray skates with a pink breast cancer ribbon painted on the side.

K2 Alexis

A step up from the Celena, the Alexis features the same K2 comfortable soft boot technology, attractive colors and styles plus a hi-lo aluminum frame and an easy lacing system. Inside the skate you will find soft memory foam that provides plenty of support while skating. To lace it up, simply pull on a tab and, when you're done, press a button for easy loosening. The hi-lo aluminum frame gives the skates a quick boost for a fast ride and also features a non-marking brake, perfect for those nights at the roller skating rink. Perfect for the casual skater, the Alexis also features a pink breast cancer ribbon design.

Rollerblade Activa 4.0

Get performance, comfort and support all in one with this skate. Gone are the olden days of spending a long time lacing up skates to get a good fit. Featuring a TFS Fit system, simply pull on the TFS disc to tighten the skate quickly and with little effort. The TFS feature is lightweight and also doesn't squeeze pressure points like ankles and toes. This skate also features a breathable liner with memory foam, a ratchet buckle to keep your feet firmly in place, and a lightweight skate for optimal lateral support, flexibility and control.

Rollerblade Wing 50

If you have a hard time finding women's inline skates that fit your feet, check out the Rollerblade Wing 50. Designed for women with larger than average feet, ride with comfort and style without the painful pinches. The boot, cuffs and washable liners are all custom designed for women's feet, as well as the overall skate for optimal balance. Keep your ankles from getting fatigued with the Wing aluminum frame, constructed to keep your ankles up in a natural position. This skate also features an adjustable brake, which you can lower as the brake pad starts to wear off. It is designed for use in all weather and road conditions.
