Roller skates peaked during the '70s disco era and caught second wind this past year thanks to viral skaters like Oumi Janta and Ana Coto.
Aside from being a great dose of serotonin, roller skating is also an effective full body workout. Queue up some Doja Cat on your Spotify app (or Walkman if you really want to stick to the retro theme), head outside and start cruising like you're the queen of Venice Beach!
