JETSKI IS MORE THAN JUST RIDING

Jet Skiing: More Exercise than You Might Think

Jet skiing is a fun and exciting water activity, but did you know that it’s also great exercise? While you might not think so, riding a personal watercraft engages several different muscle groups, making it a wonderful way to work out and keep in shape. Let’s take a closer look at how riding a Jet Ski can help you stay fit.

Improve Endurance

 

Jet skiing on a regular basis – for about 30 minutes a day or more – can substantially improve your overall cardiovascular endurance. In turn, this will give you more sustained energy for a long period of time, allowing you to exercise longer, whether for working out or recreation.

Strengthen Muscles

 

Your legs and arms are the two most used muscles while you are jet skiing. This is done when you are trying to keep your watercraft stable and balanced with your legs, while using your arms to steer the machine and stay on course. These two muscle groups get a workout and they subsequently will become even stronger with more time.

Keeping Balance

 

As you ride the waves while jet skiing, you will encounter many different challenges as you ride above the waves. Some will be calmer, and others will be stronger, and as your body works to stay upright and afloat, it engages many of your core muscles. Riding helps you get better at keeping balance, in the sense that you will be tested with strong waters, but beyond that you also will work out these abdominal muscles, too. You’ll get better at maintaining your equilibrium while also working on getting that six-pack.

Burning Calories

 

In considering your workout, you also want to know how many calories you’re burning. Most people who are actively working toward a fitness goal track the number of calories they burn regularly, and those same people will be excited to know that there’s actually a surprisingly high caloric burn from jet skiing. According to Health Fitness Revolution, the average 150-pound rider will burn a surprising 238 calories during a half-hour ride.

The following is an email to express my thought as a Tour Guide in Boracay Island but first thing first I would like thank Tatay Rey & Atty. Helen Catalbas of DOT Region VI in providing us the Tourists Arrival for 2012. For 2012, total arrival of Chinese & Taiwanese is 174,567 and Korean is 156,445.

Tour Guides for these 2 markets are Frontliners representing Philippines as a destination for fun and enjoyment. We are also representing Boracay Island as one of the best destination in the world and doing our best to represent well of the island.

TIDES & CURRENTS

Tides Have played in the beach for more than 6hours? Did you realise the same spot that you were playing become dry? Where is the water? When I was young, I thought it was magic but as I grow older than I understand that these changes are called tides due to the result of the gravitational pull of the moon and to a smaller extent, the sun. Tides affect divers by exposing or concealing rocks that are or near the water's surface. For example, a low tide may expose rocks that make the entry and exit hazardous, but when the tide rises, these rocks may be completely submerged and safe to swim over. You may also avoid long surface walk if you are diving in high tides. Currents In the ocean, currents are formed by winds, waves, tides, and the rotation of the earth. In the northern hemisphere, currents move clockwise and in the southern hemisphere, current move counterclockwise. As divers, we need to know the different kind of currents and to resp
