Most folks use business travel as an excuse to get fat and unfit. To heck with that! Instead, plan to seek out some sort of athletic adventure when you land in a new destination. Whether you go hiking through a Greenway in Atlanta, surfing in San Diego or horseback riding in Montana … travel should be your incentive to try something new while keeping your body healthy. After filming a fitness segment on The Daily Buzz and co-hosting Emotional Mojo at their studios in Orlando, Florida, I enjoyed the benefits of my Groupon purchase at Orlando Watersports Complex.

For $33.oo I enjoyed:

  • Equipment. Yep, you can’t wakeboard or water ski without equipment, and my Groupon included it all, including a helmet!
  • A get-up guarantee. Instructors took me to the beginner lake and weren’t planning to leave until I was able to competently get up and wakeboard. Lucky for them, it happened fast.
  • Four hours of wakeboarding on the basic or advanced lakes. I stayed on the basic lake, #thankyouverymuch.

Check out this video to see this beautiful complex, how the cable system works and how glamorously I can wipe out. I certainly got up a bunch for some killer wakeboarding, but my wipe outs were almost as fun. Enjoy having a laugh at me, with me. And then … go sign up to do it too.

**You can also water ski, kneeboard and paddleboard at Orlando Watersports Complex.
