At ‘Cornish Adventure’ we offer a range of different activities including coasteering, kayaking and surfing. These activities are exciting and adventurous, especially when you are; exploring new coastal areas and underwater landscapes whilst coasteering, discovering coves and connecting with nature whilst kayaking and experiencing the elements whilst surfing, all of which are not possible in a pool or other artificial settings.
Engaging in activities within the sea not only offers a wide range of physical benefits, but also mental health advantages too. Here are just some reasons why our customers have benefited and loved our sessions:
Physical Benefits
- Cardiovascular health: Completing outdoor activities like coasteering is an excellent workout that improves heart health, strengthens the heart muscles, and enhances blood circulation, reducing the risk of heart disease.
- Full-body workout: All of our activities engage various muscle groups, including the arms, core and back when you are paddling in your kayak or catching waves on your surfboard. It helps tone and strengthen muscles while promoting flexibility and endurance.
- Weight management: Completing activities in the water like swimming burns a significant amount of calories which supports weight loss and contributes to overall fitness.
- Improved lung capacity: The controlled breathing required when being in the water especially during swimming helps enhance lung capacity and respiratory function.
- Better co-ordination, balance and flexibility: Coasteering and surfing especially requires coordinated movements of your arms and legs, which can improve overall coordination and balance. The water’s resistance allows for a wide range of motion, contributing to increased flexibility over time.
Mental Benefits:
- Stress reduction: Being in the water can have a calming therapeutic effect, reducing stress and promoting relaxation.
- Mood enhancement: Sea and river activities stimulate the release of endorphins, the ‘feel-good’ hormones, leading to improved mood and reduced anxiety.
- Mindfulness and focus: Swimming can encourage mindfulness as you focus on your breathing and the rhythmic movements in the water, providing a meditative experience.
