You don't just head out one afternoon and go jump out of a plane. You need to book your skydiving adventure. There are a lot of special preparation that goes into skydiving.

If you prefer to stay on the ground, you might want to consider rock climbing. You will get a chance to get a great workout as well as have fun. If it's your first time rock climbing, you will want to pick a rock climbing site that has all of the equipment for a beginner. This means anchors that you can hook into.
