After a challenging workout outdoors with climbing and hiking, many students decide to relax by the lake or in a boat. On the lake, there are many water sports available, such as skiing, wakeboarding, tubing and knee boarding.
"I enjoy wakeboarding more than skiing because you can do more stuff out on the water," sophomore Jared Rieathbaum said. "There is more control."
These water activities work both the arm and leg muscles. The balance required in wakeboarding and water skiing also engages core muscles, promoting core strength.
Jet skiing and tubing are also popular water sports that require less skill than wakeboarding and skiing, but they still provide a fun and active water sport challenge.
Along with the workout provided by water sports, students can also enjoy relaxing at the lake, soaking up the sun and reclining in a boat. For many students, summer is the prime time to temporarily let go of responsibilities, relax and enjoy the weather and natural beauty of the area.
