5 Ways to Exercise in the City

1. Tennis lessons
Let off steam and find your inner Federer with a week of intensive classes. Check out the website of RandburgTennis Club, http://randburgtennisclub.co.za/, for details.

2. Learn to surf
Feel the sun on your face and the thrill of catching waves along our beautiful coastlines. Lessons start at the very basic level. See http://www.learn2surf.co.za/; http://www.garysurf.com/; http://www.surfshack.co.za/.

3. Indoor rock climbing
Climb walls other than those at work and boost your fitness without the hazards of sheer cliff faces. For more info, see http://www.indoorclimbing.com/southafrica.html.

4. Walk underground
Many cities have fascinating tunnels to explore (legally). Ask at visitor information bureaus.

5. Learn fire twirling
Try fun and active work-outs manoeuvring balls of flame – and impress your friends with your daring (www.fire-dancing.com).
