About 60 days ago I picked up rollerblading after never doing it (cycling and swimming was always my thing), my balance, core strength and flexibility (which started very poor) have gotten insanely better, I'm more aware of how to control very nuanced things about my posture and leg movement and which muscles I naturally favor, I had no idea how hard it was going to be and how high the skill ceiling was... and it's definitely a major cognitive boost as well, way more so than cycling even.
The strangest thing is that while I've never done yoga or other types of unloaded static movements, because I get extremely bored, it's very clear to me that rollerblading is activating all those things and an hour just blows by while skating.
