Meet an “Amazing” Who Roller-Skates His Way to Fitness & Joy

Gene, at 89, logs in 10,000 daily steps between his 2 hours of skating and just regular walking.

Gene Elliott, at 89, celebrated his birthday doing what he loves best – roller skating - along with his grown children, 10 grandchildren, and other assorted family members at Skateland U.S.A. Gene has been skating for some 70 years, even met his wife roller-skating! He says it keeps him young, both in how he moves and how he feels. No slouch when it comes to using technology, Gene sports a FitBit, and between 2 hours of skating and just regular walking, logs his 10,000 daily steps easily. Way to go, Gene!
