7 Places You Can Visit to Unwind and Restore Your Energy for Pro Cheerleading and Dancing
Living the life of a pro cheerleader in the city can be draining. There’s the distracting noise from transportation, air pollution, and internet connectivity that decreases your focus — to name a few.
All of these can drain you to the point of missing some of your pro cheer tasks. For example, skipping a workout and dance practice session after waking up fatigued or having low energy levels for a day.
At the first signs of emotional, spiritual, and physical drain, it’s essential to take a break. A great way to unwind is by going to places that are peaceful, have fresh air, fresh foods, and can provide you with a lot of opportunities to move more.
Get ideas of destinations that would reinvigorate your pro cheerleader’s soul by reading on.
1. Mountain view decks
Whether it’s the view deck of the Grand Canyon or the roadside of your local valley, you can’t help but feel relaxed and invigorated by the view and cool breeze of these elevated areas. You can either just hang out in silence or go for a short yoga session.
2. Country lakes
A combination of blue and green. Country lakes are the best destinations for people who want to break away from the noise, internet drama, and draining environments of cities. You can even go swimming or fishing in a rowboat. The only thing you’ll hear there is the sound of nature.
3. Beaches
If hanging out at a lake isn’t your thing, you can choose to go for a trip to the beach for a sunbathing session. The sun is an excellent source of vitamin D to boost your energy levels. Just remember to apply sunscreen and don’t overexpose yourself.
4. Forest parks
Exercise does make you spend energy, but it also boosts your mood and trains your body to be more active. This is the main reason why overnight campers love to hike or trek to forest parks on weekends. It’s about the journey. The calm and serene destination is just a second benefit.
5. Mountain streams
In a previous article, we’ve discussed the health benefits of bathing in mountain streams for cold water therapy. By immersing yourself in chilled water, your brain receives so many electrical impulses that your system is jolted up.
Your metabolism also increases as your body works to stay warm. As a result, you become more alert, focused, and your energy levels increase.
6. Farmlands
For those who want to take a less demanding energy restoration journey, you can visit a farm and spend the night there. Just like elevated areas, forests, and lake zones, the air from farmlands is also clean because they are usually far away from high-traffic roads.
Plus, you get to eat fresh food every day. And if it isn’t harvest or planting season, you can just spend your day chilling on a hammock under a fruit tree.
7. Hot springs and saunas
Just as bathing in cold water increases your blood circulation, so does bathing in a hot spring or visiting a sauna salon. This increased circulation creates more energy. Nutrient absorption and distribution throughout your body are also enhanced.
Most of the places suggested on this list might be far away from where you live. If you have a tightly packed schedule, you can opt to just relax on your balcony, the local park, or the nearest cemetery.
What’s really important is when you’re visiting these places, the air is fresh, there isn’t too much noise, and you can focus on yourself for a long time.
