Many people forego learning how to inline skate because it requires a certain degree of strength, coordination and balance. A unique solution is the Skaters Coach, designed to help inline skaters feel safe going longer distances, while helping to maintain balance and stability.
Skaters Coach can easily roll over objects in the road such as speed bumps, and is equipped with hand brakes for slowing down, easing down hills, or stopping. For more info, go to www.skaterscoach.com.
Pedometer alternative
For those who wear a pedometer but dislike having to clip it to a belt, I recommend the Gaiam Calorie Coach from Oregon Scientific. This pedometer tracks calories burned and steps taken but can be placed in a pocket, handbag or even worn around the neck. It stores up to seven days worth of data provided it is programmed before use, and the lightweight design gives it an advantage over some competitors.
The Gaiam Fitness Trainer by Oregon Scientific looks and is worn like a wristwatch, but transmits heart rate through the display.
By simply pressing fingers to the metal watch bezel, heart rate is registered on an easy-to-read display.

Croccasins
Crocs have long been a popular footwear choice, manufactured with Croslite, a material that produces footwear that is soft, comfortable, lightweight, nonmarking and odor-resistant.
For winter, the Croccasin collection is a series of slip-on boots, loafers and clogs made with soft fleece lining on the inside to keep feet warm and cozy.
Croccasin styles have a rubber outsole made for added traction and durability, and the easy slip-on design makes them perfect for those on the go. For more information, go online to www.crocs.com.
