I'm 21 (almost 22!!) and a complete skating virgin. But I'm looking to start skating recreationally, and as a source of exercise. There is a rink near my home, and I will probably try to begin skating a few times a week during my summer break. I'm a broke college kid, and I definately cant afford lessons... but I was wondering if you think I will be able to get any benefit from just skating around myself?
Also, would you suggest investing in my own skates, or paying to rent them each time I skate? I refuse to wear bowling shoes... so renting skates kinda icks me out... but are skates expensive to buy?
