Do you enjoy a thrilling experience? If you fit into the adrenaline junky bracket, climbing might be for you. Most gyms have climbing walls, and you can even get one for your home! Climbing is a great way to burn loads of calories and work your upper body and core muscles. Just make sure that you get the right equipment and training before you try to climb anything. Most gyms will offer these services with your membership.

Trampolining

In recent years, lots of parks have opened which are dedicated to letting you have a good old bounce! A high adrenalin trampoline park consists of an arena of trampolines. You will have loads of room to bounce around, and you’ll be exhausted in no time. These sorts of parks are really designed for fun. But, it’s a great aerobic exercise too, and it’s really entertaining. This is a great activity to try with your friends, family and children. If you live in Sheffield you could try the Jump Inc Trampoline Park near Meadowhall. 

Swimming

If you want something that will boost your cardiovascular fitness, and exercise nearly every part of your body; swimming might just be the answer for you. Swimming is a great way to get fit. It’s also great exercise because it’s low impact, this means that it reduces injury and damage to your joints.  Most towns have somewhere to swim, and it will either be cheap or free. So, this exercise is perfect for anyone living on a tighter budget. To find out your nearest local pool – click here
