Life is life and that means dealing with the daily grind and work and taking a long vacation just isn't in the cards. Looks like another weekend of housework, yardwork and hanging out with the same old people at the same old places. Or, you could plan a weekend excursion that would truly rejuvenate your mind, body and spirit. Don't think you be refreshed and renewed in a mere two days? You can if you choose the right kinds of day trips.
The American Council of Exercise reports that challenging physical activities - those that engage the mind as well as the body - can improve brain function, release stress and keep you motivated. This means the next time you need a getaway but don't feel that a weekend excursion can be worth the trouble, keep these adventures in mind when you look:
River Rafting -
River rafting is an adventure the whole family can enjoy. No previous experience needed! There are rafting excursions for people of almost any age and fitness level - even non-swimmers are welcome. If you are in top condition and looking for some extreme thrills don't worry; with a knowledgeable guide, first-time rafters are welcome on up to Class IV (difficult) runs. Whether you spend it on the easiest stretch of river or one foaming with white water, a weekend of river rafting is guaranteed to turbo-charge your brain.
Rock Climbing -
Granted, rock climbing can be challenging and there is a danger element involved as well as requiring a certain level of physical fitness is necessary, however even experienced climbers were once beginners. Rock climbing is growing in popularity and there are lots of great companies available that can provide you with all the thrills you like in a totally safe environment for your experience. You won't be ready to climb Devil's Tower after one weekend, but you will learn the basics of the sport, enjoy some amazing views and relieve your body of harmful stress.
Hiking -
You can go hiking regardless of your experience level since you don't have to have any special equipment except for a good pair of shoes or boots. No excuses not to treat yourself to a weekend excursion that will leave you feeling renewed. What's more serene than a walk in nature? Of course, thrill seekers can amp up the difficulty level and hike up a mountain with a loaded pack, but there's also the thrill of glimpsing a hawk in flight or viewing a field on fire with blooming wild flowers.
Whatever level of physical challenge you are currently up for, day trips that require your mind and body to work together should be part of an overall fitness and health routine. As with all things, be a wise consumer and research the reputation of any adventure company before booking weekend excursions with them. Getting the most out of living means getting as much enjoyment as you can out of your weekends.
