At hobbymentors.com we are all about introducing hobbies from all walks of life to our members. We know in today's time how being healthy is all the rage, but folks tend to groan when they hear the dreaded word exercise. So we have decided to compile a list of great hobbies that will have you drenched in sweat and losing those pounds in no time at all. The best thing is , these hobbies are so fun , you wont even think of them as exercise!
First on the List:
1. RACQUETBALL
Prepare to watch that waist line shrink away. This sport is meant to keep you on your toes and moving. You will be enclosed in a square court taking turns returning a ball from the front wall. Sounds easy? The ball can only bounce once on the ground before you have to return it to the front wall. So if your hanging out in the back and your opponent hits a short ball near the front , you will make be making a mad dash to the front to get that ball before it can hit the ground. Then back to rear if your opponent sends the ball back there. Now as you become a better player you will learn how to position yourself to reduce the running, but anytime you step into that court with someone on your skill level be prepared to run!
2. PAINTBALL
When we tried paintball for the first time , we were definitely not prepared for the adrenaline rush and the workout. We found ourselves rolling , dodging, ducking, running, and every other word ending in "ing" you would think of to describe war against another team. By the end of the day we were drenched in so much sweat we wished we had access to a cold shower.
3. MOUNTAIN BIKING
This is a no brainer for many, but still makes the list because its just so fun! Imagine yourself barreling down a dirt path through streams and woodlands! This hobby will have your heartbeat jumping to a new level! You'll see after about two or three weeks of mountain biking it will be time to get a new belt to keep your clothes from sliding off!
4. FIRE DANCING
Now this is a really cool hobby and quite entertaining. Fire dancing involves a lit stick or candle in a vase attached to a chain where you twirl to music and rapidly swinging the chain so that it makes intricate rings around you. You may wonder how this will shed pounds, but do this for 15 minutes and see how your arms will feel, not to mention you are constantly moving.
5. FLOW ARTS
Ok, not into fire too much? Well, you can tone it down with other items like; hula hoops , fans, staffs and levitation wands. You twist and twirl these props around your body moving in a rhythmic fashion, once again your constant moving increases your heart rate and you will see those pounds shedding!
6. DODGEBALL
You may have had a blast back to middle school with this one , but believe it are not , there are many adults of all ages that still enjoy the adrenaline of this sport. We all remember being soaked to the T in our PE clothes from play a quick game of Dball , nothing like some well aimed dodge balls that will put the fire under your behind and get you moving.
7. POLE DANCING
Alright guys calm down, on the opposite side of the adult side, pole dancing requires intense upper body strength, you will be working so many different muscles as you balance yourself on the pole. You will build a lot of upper body and core strength as you take your skills to new levels.
8. VOLLEY BALL
This sport is intense especially when played in the sand, running, spiking, setting and diving. You will find your self wanting to take a quick nap in the sand, Volleyball is a great sport that is so fun you will find your self playing for hours without knowing it.
9. WHITE WATER RAFTING
Almost anything having to do with water will guarantee a workout. And this one is one of the extremes! The great thing is you will have a team with you as you battle the elements. Prepare for a back rub and days rest to recover after your first time because you will be feeling it! But once again the fun (and fear) will keep your mind off all that cardio you will be doing.
10. BELEGARTH
You many have always wondered what its like to charge into battle doing close hand to hand combat with swords, axes and sledge hammers. Well, here is your chance to feel like you're living in the iron age , or should we say "foam age."Join hundreds of other warriors armed to the teeth with foam made weapons and they battle for supremacy of the battle field and for glory! You will be so busy fighting that by the end of the day you wont realize how utterly exhausted you have become.
