Lara Spencer dived right into a new adventure this week and documented the "exhilarating" moment for fans before posting it on Instagram.
The sporty Good Morning America anchor can be seen in the video below taking time away from her hosting gig on morning TV to learn a new skill.
As ever, Lara looked lovely, showing off her toned physique in a pair of shorts as the sun shone down upon her and her friend.
The 54-year-old giggled as she explained what was happening aboard a sail boat and her caption expressed how proud she was of herself. "Hey Sailor! What an exhilarating feeling learning something brand new at the age of 54," she wrote.
"Doesn't matter the outcome (there was zero wind lol), but we got out there, we learned how to rig our own boat, we were passed by a paddle boarder, and we will definitely do it again!!! Thanks to my dear friend Ally for pushing me to take the plunge! (Pun intended:)"
While speed wasn't the name of the game, Lara is no stranger to adrenaline and this was never more evident than when she performed a jaw-dropping stunt with her daughter, Katharine, back in 2021.

The video showed the GMA host and the teen - who is headed off to college this year - standing on the end of a giant cliff and nervously taking the plunge into the blue water below.

Years ahead of her career in TV, Lara was forging a career as a professional swimmer and diver. She attended Pennsylvania State University on an athletic scholarship for springboard and platform diving and was nationally ranked as a competitive diver.

She opened up about her feelings about her daughter leaving high school when she posted a photo of Katharine and her friends at the end of their final school year.
