Question
Yes,Im a project and what I would like to know your opinion on if you think skateboarding is a good healthy source of exercise?

Answer
Any exercise is good but I truly don't know if skateboarding is something that gets your heart rate elevated to 75-80% of your maximum heart rate.  How long do you skate board for?  If you are outside skateboarding for 1-2 hours then that's great!  What I don't know is what your fitness goals are.  Go out and have fun and drag some more people out with you who would otherwise be sitting in front of the t.v.
