4 Recreational Activities You Need to Try in 2021

When you think of the word “recreation,” what comes to mind? Is it a time where you can relax and get away from your daily life, or is it something that drains all of your energy? If you’re looking for things to do in 2021 that are fun and invigorating, here’s a list of four activities to try:  

  • Swimming

Swimming is a great activity for your cardiovascular health. It also helps with stress relief and muscle tone. Swimming is a great way to stay in shape, relieve stress, and have fun. It’s a wonderful activity for all ages, shapes, and sizes! Whether you’re swimming laps or taking the kids to the pool on hot summer days — there are many reasons why swimming is such a popular recreational activity.    Swimming can also be an effective form of rehabilitation for those recovering from injury.

  • Yoga

if you want to work on flexibility, balance, and coordination while being mindful at the same time, then yoga is perfect for you! Yoga is a practice of physical, mental, and spiritual development. It has many benefits to people who are interested in getting healthier and working on their spirituality. Yoga can help reduce stress, anxiety, depression, and insomnia while increasing energy levels and improving moods. In addition to these benefits, yoga also strengthens muscles which help with everyday tasks such as lifting heavy objects or carrying groceries!

  • Rock climbing

Rock climbers use their hands and feet along with ropes or harnesses to scale rocks or artificial walls. If you’re looking for a new hobby that is challenging, fun, and just plain exhilarating then rock climbing may be the answer. Rock climbers have to use their muscles a lot in order to keep themselves anchored and balanced on the wall while they make their way up it. The key is having good form and technique so that you don’t fall off or hurt yourself. Rock climbing can also help build strength, endurance, flexibility as well as improve your mental focus and concentration skills. It’s not for everyone – but if you love adventure mixed with some physical activity – this could be something worth checking into!    

  • Hiking

Hiking is a great way to get exercise and enjoy the natural world. It can be easy or challenging depending on your skill level. You can go by yourself, with family members, or even as part of an organized club. There are many benefits to hiking including getting out in nature, exploring new places near home or around the world, meeting people who share similar interests (hikers), and feeling more connected.  Hiking also helps reduce stress levels which in turn has been shown to have positive effects on our health such as lowering blood pressure and reducing pain from chronic conditions like arthritis. 

If you are looking for new adventures to tame your recreational thirsts, I suggest checking out Alberta, Canada. Alberta is a province that offers these four great recreational activities for those who love outdoor adventure. Hiking, rock climbing, yoga, and swimming are all popular ways to have fun while staying active in the Canadian Rockies.

  1. I love this.
    Here is the thing. As you look at these things that Cyle has posted you might say, I can’t because____. (Fill in the blank.) Start slow. In 2016 I wanted to hike, but I was a bit concerned about going into the woods alone. So, I created a Facebook group to see if anyone in my big city would like to explore. Now the group is over 6,000 women strong and gaining 100 members a week. Some post, “I don’t think I can do a hike.” There are people at different levels, but we offered “recovery hikes” for those unsure or who needed to build their stamina. Since that the time of developing the group, the doctors gave me a diagnosis of lung disease. So, I would often lead a hike with oxygen. You may be an unlikely hiker or an unlikely body type of a person doing yoga, but I encourage you to do. Do whatever you can, however you can, and maybe ask if anyone else wants to join. You will never know what your efforts will not only do for your soul but for the soul of others you meet. The Houston Women’s Hiking group has turned into a ministry of sorts as women who are alone or coming out of themselves find like-minded women, courage, and strength. Do what you can. Limitations, especially physical ones can feel overwhelming. Start slow, but start. If you are interested in starting your own facebook group, check out this welcome video. It lays out how we run the group, which is quite successful. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt_quH3sKZg See you in the woods. or the water, now that I have a kayak. Thanks Cyle for posting this.
