Be daring (and fit) on the flying trapeze!
Trapeze as exercise? Really? Really, really. It's exhilarating, unusual, and packs a hefty fitness punch as well. You can take traditional flying trapeze classes at sites across the country. (A quick Google search turned up quite a few.) Sure, it takes bravado to complete the stunts, but it's also a technical and exacting sport that promotes strength, muscle control, balance, and flexibility. Some fitness clubs have added static trapeze or other aerial arts equipment to the gym -- offering all of the fitness benefits without the flying.
