Advantages Of Spending Time At Lacrosse Camps

By Arline Bradley


People are currently on to the health trend nowadays. Most are doing all they can to stay fab and fit not only for improved physical well being, but also to look great and be the envy of many. Whatever your motivation is, trying to stay healthy is good for you.

There are, of course, numerous methods to stay healthy. You can enlist yourself in a gym membership and workout under the supervision of a fitness trainer. If you do not have the time nor resources for a gym, you can just jog in parks and track fields. You can go hiking, mountain climbing and biking. You can try out extreme sports. Or, you can join sports clinics including lacrosse camps to achieve your goal.

Lacrosse goes way back to as early as 1100 AD as a form of entertainment by indigenous people on the continent. It has its roots from Canada and was already fully developed by the seventeenth century. It is now a very popular game especially in colleges and universities. It is a contact sport where people use sticks to catch and hold the ball to shoot it to the opponents goal.

There are four major forms of the game. There is the field lacrosse for men, another for women, also box lacrosse and intercrosse. The games for men and women are only slightly different to the fact the padding is a requirement for the males. The box type is played indoors during unfit conditions, and the last type is the non contact form of the game.

One of the advantages one can get from playing lacrosse is better mental health. This sport requires quick thinking under pressure, so the more you play, the more it is developed. Studies also show that sixty minutes of active play is as effective as a low dose of antidepressant. This makes this a good activity for those who are suffering from anxiety and depression.

It also develops your ability for socialization, since it is a group game. You will be able to develop people relation skills as you and your team think of strategies and carry them out on the field. And since you meet a lot of fellow lacrosse enthusiasts inside the camp, you can widen out your circle of friends to include new ones.

This sport also helps you burn calories and keep your weight in check. You sweat out a lot from those hours of play. You move your entire body during the game. Indeed, this is like working out without feeling like working out. This is a good way for obese people to get rid of all those excess fats and become slimmer.

Once you get rid of all those fats, you start developing muscles. You do not have to lift weight and do crunches for a fabulous body, a game of lacrosse can reap you the same benefits for lesser pain and price. Since you move around a lot, you get to improve muscle strength even without all those expensive exercise equipment.

Indeed, joining camps and clinics are good and spendthrift ways to being healthy. Go ahead, choose the one that you like and join their camp activities. You do not only have fun, you also get healthy. Nothing is greater than that.
