Sports and Recreation: Options for Staying Active in Rio
In the hottest season of the year, cariocas concentrate on the beach. In order to cool off a bit from the heat, the solution is to combine it with physical exercise. For those who want to stay active, enjoying the beach and burning calories by the sea is the best option. That's why today we're going to give you some tips on sports you can do on the beach.
The most popular sport on Rio's beaches is undoubtedly Frescoball. As well as being super accessible with cheap rackets, it offers excellent health benefits: it works all the muscles in the body.
Beach Tennis has also been a hit in the Cidade Maravilhosa. Created from frescobol, it is a more intense activity that provides greater energy expenditure and is therefore very effective for improving physical fitness.
And for those who don't want to stick to the sand, stand up paddle boarding is the sport that Cariocas most love to practice in the sea. All you need to get started is a paddle and a board! It's a super fun option that helps with balance and muscles, as well as relieving pain and stress.
In addition to these options, Orla Rio offers various sports and recreational activities for Rio de Janeiro residents and visitors. The Classic Beach Club in Barra da Tijuca and Ipanema, for example, is hosting free Hit and Core classes in March, providing an opportunity to exercise and have fun.
The environmental awareness action carried out last Sunday (17) by Orla Rio at Arena Sanca collected more than 7,890 kg of waste, showing the company's commitment to preserving the environment.
Historical Context and Evolution
Orla Rio's history began long before the concession began in 1992. To talk about our origins, we need to go back more than 60 years, when João Barreto, the company's founder, set up Jonn's - a hot dog stand - on the then deserted Barra da Tijuca beach.
Since then, Orla Rio has been dedicated to offering sports and recreation options for locals and tourists who visit Rio de Janeiro's beaches. The company constantly seeks to innovate and provide unique experiences, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle.
