Are you jeans slightly tight after the winter? Or maybe you have problems to button your shirt? Hmmm… you’ve put on weight, haven’t you? Again…
Winter is that period when we tent to move less and eat more. The results of this lifestyle come surprisingly quickly. We feel heavy and awkward. Fortunately, you can help yourself in many ways. Cycling is one of them…
Are you just about to go to a ski resort with a group of friends or relatives? But you don’t ski…
Don’t worry! There are still plenty to do in the winter. Some ski resorts and hotels have great offers of dog sledding or tubing if you want to try something exciting on the snow. If you’re going with children they may want to have a go with snowmobiling. Another option for you is ski biking (if you’re seeking some thrill!)
Rob Thomson is a 27-year-old New Zealander who’s going for the Guinness Book of World Records for longest skateboard journey.
He’s been more than four weeks on his board now and he managed to develop an easy rhythm.
“The main reason is adventure,” he says “To experience a life less ordinary for a while.”
During his journey he’s meeting nice people offering him a safe place to rest, tasty meals, a shower.
If you were a kid in the past and you wanted to learn how to play tennis, you had to learn it in the same way as adults. You had to use the full-sized adult racquet and had to play on a full-sized adult court. The worst of all, you had to stand in a long line with other kids while the coach would feed you balls as you did some kind of “drill.”
You have probably seen people jumping on something attached to their legs. Looked exciting but what was that? Well, it is called Powerbocking and it is all about jumping and running. You just need PowerBocks.
Some people consider powerbocking as an extreme sport whereas for the others it’s a form of exercise or even a means of artistic expression.
