When people hear the words fitness and holiday together they
are instantly put off – how can you have a holiday that revolves around
fitness? Surely it can’t be fun; however there are many that beg to differ.
Going away on a fitness holiday or fitness retreat, has many advantages, some
of which will surprise you.
Its a great way to kick-start your fitness or weight loss
regime, or even just a way to try something different. It can be a difficult
concept to get your head around, which is why we have come up with a few
advantages of fitness holidays and why they are something you should consider. When
looking for a quality fitness holiday, make sure you do your research and
ensure that the provider is a recognised and trusted company such as Revival Boot Camp.
A Change Of Scenery
Whether you are a regular gym-aholic or need something to
motivate you to start exercising, sometimes a change of scenery is just what
you need. Rather than doing your workout in a sweaty gym you can train on a
sunny beach, or do water sports in exotic locations. Not only will you feel
more motivated to actually go and do some exercise, the warm weather can help
you work on your tan so you will look great when you go back, too!
A Chance To Get Away
Sometimes the stress of work and family responsibilities can
be too much and often it can drain your energy or stop you from having time to
work out. It can be good to get away sometimes and have a break, take a bit of
‘me’ time and do what makes you feel good. This is a chance to work on
yourself, whether you want to take along a friend or you want a timeout from
everyone back home, the choice is yours. When you go back you will feel
rejuvenated and full of energy, ready to tackle whatever anyone throws at you.
Boost Your Confidence
Many people are put off from going to the gym because they
are self-conscious or embarrassed of the way they will look, however going to a
fitness holiday there is no worry of seeing anyone you know. Everyone is a
stranger, many are in the same boat, and other more experienced members are
usually very helpful and encouraging. By starting off your exercise regime on a
fitness holiday, you can start to gain your confidence and prove to yourself
that you can do it, so when you get back to your normal life, you won’t have
any confidence issues.
Make New Friends
Fitness holidays are extremely sociable and team based, they
encourage teamwork and many team sports and activities are organised. Not only
does this help you to gain each other’s trust, but it also allows each of you
to encourage and motivate each other. This again will boost your confidence,
but can also help you to push yourself harder. The trust and friendships you
will make in a short amount of time can last for years to come, and many people
often stay in contact after their visits to retreats – another aspect of
fitness holidays which can instil continued motivation.
Live The Dream
For many fitness holidays you will be treated to a relaxing
massage or spa sessions after a hard day’s work out, meaning you can unwind and
get the most out of your holiday. You will also be advised of healthy and
nutritional snacks and meals that you can make that taste great. The overall
experience is not just a flash in the pan that stops as soon as the holiday
ends – it provides you with everything you’ll need to keep your whole regime
going when you’re back home.

Would you ever consider doing something like this? I really love the sound of it and am tempted to look into it further! I imagine it would be something quite fun to do with a group of friends!
Lots of Love,
Oh my god I would love to do this! I'm definitely planning on some kind of post christmas detox!

This is a great post! I'd love to go to a bootcamp I think it'd be awesome! I'm quitting the gym at the end of December and planning on doing Results with Lucy or some Youtube video workouts to keep my fit as well as running outside! I just bought a diary from Lorna Jane which is great and is full of motivational workouts and quotes! I hope you don't mind me sharing but here is the link: http://www.ambersbeautytalk.com/2013/12/lorna-jane-2014-active-diary.html
