Top 5 Summer Activities

By: Daniel
Posted: Dec 29, 2010

]]>

Summer is a time of year for fun, sun, tanning and the beach. Below I have listed a brief description of five of the most popular summer activities. So when you’re skin is sticking to the couch and you’re looking for something to do… try one of these activities.

Snorkelling is a great and fun way to spend the day out in the water, keeping you cool with a whole range of beautiful things to see. Viewing the life of aquatic creatures is mesmerising and many reefs are just below the water’s surface. Look at local beaches, lakes and rivers near you or ask your local dive store for the best locations. To see the best marine life and reefs Australia has to offer then take a holiday to the Great Barrier Reef or on the other side of Australia try Ningaloo reef where you can snorkel right next to 40ft Whale Sharks.

One step up from snorkelling is Scuba Diving and this for people who want to dive to greater depths, stay underwater for long periods of time and for those who just enjoy the feeling of weightlessness. Scuba Diving requires some training however learning this fun summer activity is great fun. There are many different courses of Scuba Diving for various interest such as underwater photography, marine naturalists, wreck diving, cave diving and even ice diving. Whatever interests you underwater, scuba diving has it, so start by obtaining your open water license and go from there.

If you prefer the surface of the water kayaking is another brilliant summer activity to take up. Kayaking is great for getting outdoors and into the wilderness, exploring rivers, lakes and oceans as well as providing great exercise. Combined with a bit of swimming and splashing about kayaking is an awesome summer activity. 

Kayaking not wild or extreme enough? Then you need something more adventurous like white water rafting. With unexpected twists, turns and drop offs down waterfalls at considerable speeds white water rafting is definitely an adventure like no other. There are artificial rapids such as Penrith White Water or natural rapids which are graded by level of skill, expertise and the danger factor.  Start with a guided white water rafting tour and then work your way up to the more extreme.

The last summer activity that cannot be overlooked is jet skiing. One of the best ways to spend time on the water is by tearing through it at top speeds. Jet Ski’s can be used for just cruising around, towing other water devices along and even wave riding. This summer activity is sure to keep you cool and entertained over the summer period.

There are many other summer activities to do whether in the water or not. Make sure this summer you get outdoors and live life to its fullest whether that means being under water, on the surface exploring new scenery, rowing down waterfalls or any other adventurous activity.

Ways To Improve Your Vertical Jump

Strengthening your legs is one of the most common ways to improve your vertical jump. Your legs are the biggest power source for your jump. You use all the different muscles in your legs to accomplish this. You use your calves, thighs, and hips to get yourself in the air. Using your arms to increase your momentum can help a great deal as well. That’s why you see most people lift their arms up when they are jumping.

Outdoor Summer Fun Ideas

by on May.10, 2011, under Articles

kayak

Summer is coming and with the warm weather comes the need for new and exciting outdoor adventures to try.  Below are some great outdoor summer fun ideas that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.

Summer Fun Ideas

Hiking

Whether you choose to hike up a mountain or simply hike through flat trails, there is nothing better than being close to nature and breathing the fresh air within a forest.  Hiking can be great exercise and fun for the whole family. 

I have always found that returning to nature and being amongst the trees puts me into a state of calm relaxation where my mind clears and my body almost breathes a sigh of relief.

If you are lucky enough to live in an area that offers trees, trails and mountains then plan a few hikes this year and explore some new territory.

Kayaking

Kayaking is one of my favourite warm weather activities.  This can be a fantastic way to get out and enjoy the water be it a beautiful lake, a windy river or taking on some ocean swells.

If you decide to try kayaking you will have a few options.  You can either rent a kayak for a few hours or for the day, or you can invest in either a hard-shell kayak or my personal favourite, an inflatable kayak.

Inflatable kayaks are ideal because they are so convenient.  They are able to be stored in small spaces and transported in the trunk of your car.  They also tend to be more stable and safe than a hard-shell kayak so is great for families and kids.

Geo Cashing

Geo Cashing has become very popular over the last few years and can be played in just about any city or town around the world.  Look up online which areas closest to you have hidden maps and treasures to find and make it an adventure the whole family can enjoy. 

Geo Cashing allows you to go on great treasure hunts and share in an amazing detective experience.

Cycling

If you have a bicycle or are willing to rent a bicycle then you will be able to cover a lot of ground this summer.  Cycling of course is a perfect activity for singles and families alike.  You can choose to bike on roads or on the trails and see sights and sounds that are not able to be experienced by car.

This could also be a great opportunity to teach your kids about the environmental impact of motor vehicles and how cycling is a great way to help the environment and keep the Earth safe and clean.

Each of the above activities are ideal summer fun activities that can be enjoyed by any person of any age.  Make a goal to at least try two of them and you will find your summer to have many new exciting memories.
