Southwest Raft & Jeep

Did you know this amazing adventure sport is also excellent for your health?

You probably don’t think about your health when you consider a white water rafting trip.  You’re probably more concerned with safety, than anything else!  Here at Southwest Raft & Jeep, we can assure you that we offer the safest rafting trips in Colorado.  But we can also tell you some awesome benefits that come along with white water rafting–did you know this amazing adventure sport is also excellent for your health?  

Cardio!

This shouldn’t shock you–white water rafting is all about moving your body and fighting the river.  It requires constant movement and a lot of energy that you’ll be using to paddle and steer.  Your heart will certainly get a workout, much like running, but a lot more fun.  Plus, you don’t have to be a star runner to raft!  Anyone can come along on our tours, so long as they’re ready to have fun.

Self-esteem

Imagine how amazing you’ll feel once you complete that rapid.  The success is overwhelming–you’ll be ready to take on anything.  And once you finish one rapid, you’ll finish another and another.  White water rafting is an ever-changing sport.  Even the same rivers will have different water levels and new challenges with every run.  Completing each one will keep your self-esteem soaring.

Teamwork

This is especially beneficial if you go rafting with the family.  Rafting requires all parties involved to be constantly vigilant and aware–that’s why there are so many people in a single raft!  It is necessary for everyone to control the raft, so the white water doesn’t kick you overboard.  You’ll constantly be looking out for each other and keeping each other safe.  If your family needs that extra boost of bonding time, white water rafting is an exciting and adventurous way to do that.
