6 Must-Know Tips for Staying Fit with an Electric Skateboard

Although some naysayers may object. That said, riding an electric skateboard can significantly improve your cardiovascular health and fitness levels. Just because a motor is helping you doesn't in any way diminish the fact that you're moving body parts and taking big gulps of fresh air. If you just purchased an e-board or are looking for a new fitness strategy to incorporate your old one, check out these six suggestions.

Using an electric skateboard as part of your daily commute

If you usually drive to work, choosing to ride a commuter electric skateboard is not only good for the environment, but it can also help you stay healthy. Unless you work from home, in which case riding an Electric Skateboard downstairs is not very convenient.

Still, for all other purposes, motorized skateboards are still a great transportation option that can keep you active while the included motor provides some assistance when needed. Riding an electric longboard also means it's not as strenuous as riding a regular skateboard, so you sweat a lot less. Trust us: your coworkers will thank you.

Veymax electric skateboard is the perfect choice for commuters. The Veymax Roadster X4 delivers a reliable ride that's comparable to traditional skateboards, providing electric assistance only when you want or need it.

Replace ordinary skateboards with electric skateboards

If you use a regular skateboard as part of your daily exercise routine, you can instantly swap it out for an e-board and still get the benefits of riding a skateboard. You don't need to use the motor all the time. You can use a motorized skateboard to ride along a bike path, around your yard, or down the street. If you enjoy street riding, the motor will definitely come in handy when climbing steep hills, especially if you are just starting out on your fitness journey. The Veymax Cejour Series, with its handle design and 90-inch wheels, will be your perfect new toy.

Riding with kids

With an electric skateboard, it's much easier to stay connected with your kids while riding the skateboard. Trust us! When you're 35, it's easy to strain your neck just by getting out of bed. When your kids are fast, it's hard to stay ahead of them. Using a Veymax Skateboard means you can rely more on the motor rather than your own 4WD to keep moving, and it's easy to set up!

Track your activity

When trying to stay healthy, it's important to track your calorie intake and physical activity. If you're at the stage where you're weighing your food and writing it down, you know how painful it can be.

The components of your physical activity, like your calorie burn, your heart rate, oxygen levels and effort used, are very, very difficult to track. But they're important because they can show you areas to focus on, such as improving your breathing or increasing your speed so you burn more calories. No matter what you need to track, there's an accessory or app that can get the job done. So grab your watch or phone, get on your electric skateboard and start watching the numbers.

Go to the store

Often, when we need a gallon of milk, we just hop in the car and head to the local store. You see chips and a few other items on sale, and before you know it, there are a dozen other items in your cart, most of which are high in calories.

Motorized skateboards make you really think about whether you need an extra pack of cheese, remembering you're going to take it home with you. Put on your helmet, put on your backpack, and ride your skateboard to the store. You'll find that not only do you get some exercise throughout the day, but you also enjoy some fresh air and sunshine. Less groceries = less money spent = healthier choices.

Plan a skateboard trip

Not only is traveling on a skateboard a great way to get some exercise, but it also allows you to see landmarks and natural scenery on a non-traditional trip. Small back roads aren't scary when you use an e-board instead of a regular skateboard. You don't have to fear those slight undulations known as hills by all but the most ardent skateboarders. Although it takes some effort on your part, you can get a lot of help from the battery. If you're on a smooth road...well...you just have to go a little further and a little faster. Add a luggage rack and your electric longboard can even carry extra luggage.

VEYMAX Tip: Don't rely on electricity alone!

You want to get the most out of any exercise routine. And, when it comes to electric riding devices like electric skateboards or electric scooters, you also want to get the most out of your riding device's battery. While it's tempting to go all-electric and rely solely on the electric throttle, this is a surefire way to drain your e-board battery quickly and burn the absolute minimum amount of calories. Instead, you can put in some effort, reap the benefits, and save battery power easily.

Perhaps for those who want to stay fit or are just starting their fitness journey, e-skateboards are perfect. If you add the above tips to your daily routine, you can start getting healthier and have fun doing it.
