Benefit of Rafting No. 1: working your abs while having fun
Let's start this article dedicated to benefits of Rafting on your physical and mental health with a little exercise! Who said working your abs has to be a chore? Surely by the Crazy Water team! Rafting is like doing a core session without the boredom that accompanies it. Propelling this inflatable boat through the rapids requires a lot of effort from the abdominal muscles in order to maintain balance and maneuver the raft correctly. If the abs are heavily used by the strokes of the paddle, the upper body muscles, the arms, shoulders and back are not left out. After one descent of the Ubaye, you will have done the equivalent of a good workout, adrenaline, good humor and fun too!
Benefit of Rafting No. 2: develop your cardio in aquatic roller coaster mode
Rafting is not just a adrenaline rush, it is also a real cardiovascular training. As you paddle through the rapids and weave your way between currents and rocks, the adrenaline will naturally accelerate your heart rate. Each stroke of the paddle engages the muscles in your body, increasing your heart rate and improving your cardiovascular endurance in a significative way. In addition, this intense activity allows you to burn a considerable number of calories, thus contributing to better control of your weight and a healthier lifestyle. In short, Rafting is not only an exciting adventure, it is also a great way to keep this vital organ in tip-top shape while having fun in the stormy waters.
