It is necessary to learn the basics of skating including turning and stopping and to wear protective gear to avoid possible injury.

You can skate at a comfortable pace for 30 minutes straight. If you want a cardio challenge, do interval skating — speed skate two minutes of every five minutes, using the remaining three minutes to recover. A 150 lb person will typically burn about 175 calories in 30 minutes skating at a comfortable pace, similar to brisk walking.
Important tips
Drive through your whole foot, not just your toes.
Keep your knees tracking over your toes.
An honest range of motion beats a heavier load.
