6 New Ways to Push Yourself in the Great Outdoors

Want to up your surfing game? Why not tackle our best waves with a handplane (a mini surfboard) strapped to your hand. At only 50cm long, you’ll give your core muscles a thorough workout as you maximise your green room time. 

Why be content with just skiing when you can ‘speed fly’ down a mountain? This sport combines skydiving, paragliding and off-piste skiing to descend mountains with a parachute and skis.

Rock climbing is having its heyday right now, but bouldering is fast gaining traction as a great way to tone up. It consists of scaling smaller boulders and rock formations with your bare hands, without a harness or ropes.  

Love running? Then try trail running in national parks where you combine running and hiking (up hills and steep inclines). You’ll enjoy epic views and improve your fitness at the same time.

Get your heart rate rising by paddling out on your stand up paddle board, then do a full yoga class on it! It’s incredibly effective for toning your core and lower body. Plus, you might just see a dolphin!
