With winter in full swing, you might be inclined to stay RECLINED on your couch with little more than a bowl of buttery popcorn in hand. But don't let the winter weather bring your active lifestyle to a screeching halt. Instead, strap on a pair of skates and hit the ice, Rockford!

Ice skating is a fabulous winter activity that incorporates both fun and fitness. Depending on your skill level and pace, you can burn anywhere from 300 to 600 calories by skating continuously for an hour. And, you'll be toning up your tush, quads and calves as you make your way around the rink.

The Riverview Ice House in Rockford, IL is open to the public year-round, so grab some friends and loved ones and get out on the ice. For winter skate schedules and pricing, just click here.
