All About White Water Rafting

By Paul Makepeace

Expert Author Paul Makepeace

White water rafting is a very aggressive sport that is played using an inflatable boat. The raft or boat is used to navigate a water body such as a river or any other. This sport falls in the group of sports referred to as extreme sports because there is a lot of danger involved while navigating the water. The sport is done on white water or in rough bodies of flowing water because this way there is a lot of thrill and excitement both for those watching and those in the raft. It is a fun outdoor sport but should only be done by those who know how to navigate the boats safely.

7 Ways Why Hiking is Better Than Going to the Gym

By Steve H.

Expert Author Steve H.

Gyms definitely have their place. Let's face it, without health & fitness clubs, many people would never work out. There are certain people, and you may be one of this group, who simply need a gym-like environment full of people, machines & weights to motivate them to workout. A gym atmosphere does much to push some people into getting into shape. Whether it's the sight of people in better condition than we are, or maybe just the opposite, those who are worse off & make us feel better about ourselves; whatever the reason, health clubs do a great deal to help thousands & perhaps millions of people to exercise and achieve a better fitness level.

When it comes to climbing, we all have our mental issues and shortcomings. Whether it’s breaking a bad habit like high stepping every foothold, not taking enough time to rest or breathe, or not focusing enough on your footwork, we’ve all been there one time or another and we’ve all fallen, flailed, and kicked the wall as a result.

Beginner’s Guide to Climbing – Indoor Rock Climbing. | Himalman's Weblog

INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING — Climbing indoors is just what it sounds like—you simply are climbing indoors instead of climbing outdoors. Simple-sounding, but the term indoor climbing covers from closet and basement “woodies” to enormous and elaborate climbing walls in gyms.

INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING 2 Indoor rock climbing centre. (www.cliffhanger.com.au)

You can build your own woodie with some plywood and screws, turning a room in your house or a wall in the attic or basement into your own training area. All indoor climbing is basically the same because you are climbing on manufactured holds bolted to plywood.
