Think you need a little more excitement in your exercise regime?
Why not try something a bit more challenging than the usual treadmills and exercise bikes? Instead of heading to the gym for your next workout, head for the great outdoors.
There are loads of adventure sports to try — abseiling, surfing and sea kayaking to name just a few. And Phil James, the managing director of adventure company, Adrenalin, says these often life-changing experiences are now more popular than ever.
“We find that our adventures provide an escape from day to day stress,” he explains. “Customers have told us their involvement in the adventure lifted their spirits, not only while doing the adventure, but in other parts of their lives too.
“We know that adrenalin is a performance-enhancing hormone that helps people get excited about things and put more effort into whatever they’re focusing on. So the benefits are much greater than just becoming more physically fit.”
Here’s a sample of some of the adventure sports you might like to try.
