Outdoor Adventures at the Turning Stone Resort

Filed under: Luxury Travel & Hotels, Spas

The Lodge at Turning Stone Resort is unveiling several new getaway packages that cater to the outdoor enthusiast. Whatever your fancy, whether by air, by sea, or by land, you can experience the same elegance and service Turning Stone is known for -- but with a dash of adventure. From golf and horseback riding (lessons included) to river fishing and hot air ballooning, you may not be able to choose just one. You may even want to opt for a spa package instead and spend a few days being pampered at the Skana Spa.

Put me down for one of each, please.

Mechanical Core Muscle Trainer

Ah, the allure of a horseback ride through the countryside is an idyllic image, bonding with nature and communing with a powerful steed. But, if you don't like the whole outdoors and animal thing, you can still get a good work out with the Mechanical Core Muscle Trainer. Yeah, it's a fancy name for a horse riding simulator, but it gives a user the same workout you could expect from a day of riding. It's great for people who need exercise, but who have to be careful with their heart rates. Available from the always fun Hammacher Schlemmer.
