Wingsuit flying, also known as birdman flying, is a type of skydiving in which a person wears a specialized suit that allows them to glide through the air. The suit has fabric wings between the legs and under the arms, creating an airfoil shape that enables the person to fly horizontally.

Health Benefits of Wingsuit Flying:

Improves cardiovascular fitness: Wingsuit flying requires a significant amount of upper body strength and endurance, which can lead to improved cardiovascular fitness.
Increases lung capacity: The suit's fabric wings create resistance, which leads to increased lung capacity as the person has to work harder to breathe.
Enhances coordination and balance: The act of flying through the air in a wingsuit requires a great deal of coordination and balance.
Boosts mental well-being: Wingsuit flying has been shown to reduce stress and improve overall mental well-being.
Encourages physical activity: Wingsuit flying is a physically demanding activity that encourages people to stay active and maintain a healthy lifestyle.
