Lace up those trainers for a healthy holiday in Jamaica
Consider what it is you want to achieve and what type of exercise you enjoy before you decide on the ideal active holiday for you. Build up your fitness levels before you go, by going for a run or trying out a new fitness class, so you can physically prepare your body to make more effective changes. Make sure to think about your fitness goals so you can experience a retreat that will best suit you.
Fitness clothing has never been a more fashionable trend, so take advantage of what is available and invest in fitness clothing that will add function and confidence to your workouts. Make your comfortable and stylish clothing work for you on a multi-activity holiday where you can show off your workout wardrobe as you participate in a range of healthy activities and fitness classes.
Enjoy your workout in Bali
Be prepared to embrace those body challenges as you begin your active lifestyle on your first healthy break. Keep that smile on your face even when you start to feel the burn, because you are doing what you set out to do, so be proud of yourself! Maintain that positive mental attitude to make the most of each exercise and feel the benefits as your hard work begins to pay off.
Don’t restrict yourself to just one form of exercise, particularly with our exclusive range of Fusion Fitness Holidays where you can customise your own flexible personalised fitness programme. Renew your body and mind with a fun and rewarding programme of activities, ranging from TRX suspension training and boxing, to yoga and Pilates. The more fitness classes you experience, the more you can discover what you enjoy and learn what works best for your body.
Soothe your body with sports massages in India
There is a fitness programme to suit every level, so don’t risk over-working your body. Know the difference between pushing your body and over-reaching to achieve results. Find the right balance for you, and be as active or as relaxed as you need on a fitness spa holiday, where you can focus on re-energising your body and mind, without pushing yourself to the extreme. Don’t risk injuries for the sake of competing with others, or yourself.
It’s easy to feel de-motivated when you stop seeing immediate results in the mirror or on the scales. But you should know that your fitness holiday will continue to improve your health and well-being in places you can’t always see. You can experience the benefits of group motivation on a bootcamp retreat with small groups supporting each other as you embark on your fitness journey together.

It’s simple really: by putting good, nutritious energy into your body, you will start to feel great during your fitness sessions.
After all your hard work, you definitely deserve some relaxation time. Why not include luxury spa treatments on your fitness holiday at a spa and sport retreat, where you can start your day playing tennis and end it with restorative spa therapies. Reward your body and mind with exclusive treatments and massages to boost your post-workout recovery, such as a sports massage.
