Really wanting to fulfil that New Year resolution (yes, it’s already December) but get easily bored of running? Take a look at these quirky takes on common sports, and perhaps your inner sports junkie will arise again.
Stand-Up Paddle Yoga (‘Surfboard’ Yoga)
In case you thought the yoga class you tried out was not much of a challenge, or if you have always adored sea views, this is the perfect sport to try out. The instability of the slightly oversized surfboard aids in the training of core muscles, making it slightly trickier for those used to traditional yoga. However, with the gradual syncing of your movement with the rhythm of the sea, it certainly is easier to attain zen mode.
Bubble Soccer
Originating from Norway, the Bubble Soccer wave has certainly hit our shores hard. It has been a popular choice among companies, organisations and institutions for corporate events or retreats. Also, children’s birthday parties have been held there. Players put on straps in order to be ‘bubble-wrapped’, and either play a game of soccer or other games like catching! Who wouldn’t want to be Baymax for an hour?
