Are you looking for a way to change up your weekend routine? Were you planning an adventure this weekend, but your plans have been foiled by crummy weather? Don’t give up and turn to the couch! Just because it’s a rainy day doesn’t mean you can’t harness your inner outdoor enthusiast. There are plenty of ways to get your heart pumping and stoke your adventurous spirit indoors if the weather isn’t cooperating.
Rock climbing
What better way to spend a day indoors than reaching new heights at an indoor climbing gym? Regardless of your age or fitness level, indoor rock gyms offer a great, fun workout for the whole family. As rock climbing expands as a sport, more and more indoor gyms are popping up across the country, so search for one near you. Who knows; one fun day on the wall may lead to a new passion, and you may find yourself outside climbing real rock by the time the weather clears up.
Trampolines
Is jumping more your style? Look for an indoor trampoline park or gymnasium in your area. Some gyms are fully decked-out with foam pits, trampoline dodgeball courts, and even trampoline basketball. It’s a fun place to bring the whole family, and a phenomenal workout.
Indoor skydiving
If you’re interested in the thrill of free fall, but you’re not exactly psyched to jump out the side of a plane with a stranger strapped to your back, check out indoor skydiving. Using advanced technology and safety equipment, indoor skydiving centers make skydiving a reality with significantly less risk, and your plans will never be ruined by inclement weather.
Paintball
The idea of shooting things with pellets of paint isn’t a hard sell for most, but what you may not know is that many paintball opportunities exist indoors. That’s right, a rainy day won’t squash your opportunity to clobber each other with color. Search for indoor paintball and similar combative fun like laser tag to turn any rainy day into an epic battle.
