What will give me the best fitness results: roller skating, roller bladding, or in-line skating?

I am looking to lose some weight and have become bored with the "usual" exercises that various fitness experts recommend (i.e. running, walking, jogging, elliptical, etc.), not to mention my shins hurt badly when I jog/run.

What’s the difference in roller blading, roller skating, and in-line skating?

I know how to roller skate (4 wheels), but have always had trouble balancing with roller blades. I would like to stick with roller skating, however, I want to get the most benefit and the most calories
burned. Which type of skating will do this?

Basically, what will give me the best
fitness results – roller skating, roller blading, or in-line skating??

On my fitness routine?

I’m doing 50 pushups in five sets, 150 crunches in 5 sets and 60 situps in 4 sets twice a day. I am 16 years old and quite thin. My daily diet includes five eggs per day, 4 bananas (will this help me gain weight?) and have a regular balanced diet. What exercise can I include in my exercise routine which does not include any equipment? What else can I add to my diet to gain weight? Is it better to do more reps and fewer sets or fewer reps and more sets?
