Rebel Wilson's latest post will make you want to give ax throwing a try

Rebel Wilson is all about having fun while staying active. From changing tires to surfing to using a giant vodka bottle as a dumbbell, there seems to be nothing she won't try. Wilson's latest project will undoubtedly inspire anyone looking to let out a little anger in their free time.

The 42-year-old actress shared two Instagram photos from a recent trip to Iceland and wrote in her caption that she was "training hard." While she didn't elaborate on what exactly she's training for, in the second photo Wilson is wielding an ax and standing in front of a wooden target. And if you've never thought about adding ax throwing to your schedule, you should probably remember the Pitch Perfect alum right away.

In recent years, ax throwing bars have been popping up everywhere, allowing patrons to rent lanes and enjoy drinks and snacks while throwing an ax at a target. And while the thought of drinking and swinging an ax may sound questionable, devotees of the activity find it a fun way to blow off some steam with friends.

Today's version of ax throwing first appeared in Toronto in 2006, when bartender Matt Wilson began throwing an ax at a tree stump in his backyard for fun with friends, according to the Backyard Ax Throwing League (BATL). The game caught on, grew into a full-fledged sport and, according to BATL, inspired various ax throwers around the world.

And while any recreational activity can be a great way to relax, there's undoubtedly something particularly satisfying about (safely!) throwing an ax at a target. Of course, it's also fun to try something new, as Wilson can clearly attest. Grabbing that Bullseye certainly feels satisfying, so the actress probably has something with this one.
