TANDEM SKYDIVING WITH NZONE

It takes a certain kind of person to jump from an aircraft at 15,000ft into thin air. It takes courage. Harnessed by space age materials to an experienced qualified Jumpmaster, you step out that aircraft door and for some 60 seconds you plummet towards the ground at 200kph, Terminal Velocity. The Jumpmaster will deploy the reinforced tandem canopy controlling your entire skydive.

Expect sensory overload as your mind/body/soul fight against every natural self preservatory urge.

HORSE RIDING IN BAY OF PLENTY

Horse riding offers a great workout for both the mind and body, physically boosting the cardiovascular system and mentally easing stresses on the mind. Here's the realbuzz quick guide to how horse riding could be the exercise to boost your own health and fitness training.

Horse riding is a great form of exercise which has both cardiovascular and muscle conditioning benefits. Although it may seem as though the rider is not engaging in any physical exercise, an hour's activity can burn similar calories to that of a 30-minute jog (6mph) or cycle ride (9mph). Therefore, all the health benefits associated with engaging in regular cardiovascular exercise are gained.

After your first ride you may feel muscles that you never knew you had. This is due to the movement of the horse and its affect on the rider during the ride. As the rider reacts to the horse's movements to avoid becoming off balance, the deep postural muscles of the trunk and pelvis and the adductor muscles of the thighs are continuously being conditioned.

INDOOR ROCK CLIMBING

Adding indoor climbing to one's regular workout routine yields an array of benefits for adults and children alike, no matter what fitness level or prior experience they bring to the sport. Benefits of rock climbing include increased physical fitness, improved problem-solving skills, building trust and teamwork, and an expanded social network. Rock climbing indoors is a healthy activity everyone from families to business associates can enjoy together.

A person does not need superhuman strength or massive arms to start climbing. In fact, it's common to witness a slender, flexible woman out-climbing a burly, toned man. What a person does need to begin rock climbing is to sign up for a beginner climbing lesson at their local indoor climbing gym. The lesson will teach the necessary safety skills for indoor rock climbing.

Nearly every climb will at some point engage almost every part of one's body, from toes to fingertips. A challenging, all-over body workout demanding coordination, endurance, strength, flexibility, and balance, rock climbing is one of the most calorie-consuming fitness exercises out there. The calories burned while rock climbing rival many more commonly employed workout routines, such as running, cross-country skiing, and bicycling.
