5 Adventure Activates Around Nature.
Cycling:
Cycling boosts your mood in the same way all
physical exercise makes you happy “by influencing the release and
uptake of chemicals in your brain that make you feel good”
Cycle riding is a solitary experience, but you
are closer and more involved with the road, the outdoors and the other people
there. Riding gives you the feeling of freedom. You enjoy nice
sunny weather much more than an enclosed air conditioned car and the machine sounds
awesome.
“You are one ride away from
good mood.”
Trekking:
Trekking, as the dictionary defines it, is to go on a
long arduous journey, typically on foot. Sounds quite daunting but yet don't we
quite love it! We hike, tramp, march, slog, trudge or plain old walk. Sometimes
to discover or to simply to get away from the mundane.
Like most cardio
exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke,
high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some
cancers. Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise, which builds muscle
mass and helps prevent osteoporosis.
“Move your feet to see the nature views and be happy.”
Rock climbing:
Rock climbing is an
activity in which participants climb up,
down or across natural rock formations
or artificial rock walls.
Whether you're rock
climbing indoors or out, the rock climbing session provides a good workout. During this time you build stamina, strengthen your
muscles and increase your heart rate to work cardio. You need strength to pull
yourself up on the rope with your arms.
“Every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.”
Caving:
Caving is one of the most
mentally challenging sports, forcing participants to block out the past and the
fears and worries of the future, and fully commit to a focus on the present.
Caving does not attract the
quick-rewards crowd. It’s kind of the exact opposite of, for instance,
basketball. In Bball you run down the court, put yourself tactically near the
basket, get the pass, shoot, score, and everyone cheers. Then you do it again
and again and again and everyone cheers every time. Instant reward over and
over.
“The cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek.”
On a societal level, caves (like
most wild places) are often threatened by human activities like mining,
fracking, pollution, etc. When people learn to appreciate caves by visiting
them, they become advocates for preserving and taking care of caves.
Additionally, caving can contribute
to important scientific discoveries such as climate research, development of
new medicines/antibiotics, and archaeological and paleontological finds.
