1. Start taking small steps
A simple jog is a good start
Before you embark on your fitness journey, it is important to start with small improvements to your everyday habits. Try to steadily increase your physical activity during the build-up towards a fitness holiday, as this will provide a good basis from which to boost your strength and stamina with challenging fitness classes and outdoor workouts. Incorporate these small steps into your regular routine, like walking to work instead of taking the bus and preparing meals in advance instead of a making last minute, unhealthy choices.
2. Prepare your stomach properly
Reduce your indulgent dependencies early so that a weight loss holiday will not be such a shock to your system. The right bodily preparation will make it easier for your mind to adjust to the reduction in calories and high-intensity exercise programmes.

3. Find the programme for you
Yoga is a good workout that you can really enjoy
