If you’ve ever returned from holiday feeling bloated and having gained weight, you might be vowing to get more exercise on your next trip. That’s why so many people are now choosing to spend their time away on a fitness holiday. It means you could end your holiday feeling lighter than when you went away, and with new motivation to look after yourself. Here are just a few of the fitness holidays available, and how they can work for you.

Yoga retreats

Yoga retreats are ideal for all ability levels, whether you’ve never tried yoga before, or you’re at an advanced level. Yoga has many health benefits, from increased flexibility to helping you relax, and you’ll find yoga retreats in the UK as well as abroad, so they’re easy to book. While yoga alone won’t necessarily help you lose weight, it can help you tone up and feel more in shape.

Boot camps

If you need to kick start a healthier lifestyle, want to take your fitness to the next level, or just want a holiday that’s as active as possible, then consider going to a boot camp. Some of the advantages of these types of holiday include:

• Getting personalised diet and exercise advice
• Working with a group for extra motivation
• Comfortable accommodation
• Healthy meals to fuel your workouts
• A wide range of activities so you can try something new

If you need to lose a few pounds, or want the motivation to start a healthier lifestyle, then Prestige Boot Camp can be a great way to meet your goals. With everything taken care of, you simply focus on your workouts, something that can be difficult when there are so many distractions at home.

Activity breaks

Many people’s holidays involve nothing more strenuous than lazing on the beach, but if you want to make the most of your time on holiday then adding some activities can be fun. You’ll find lots of specialist activity holidays abroad, from scuba diving to surfing, where the entire break revolves around one activity. This is great for those starting out, or wanting to become more advanced at their hobby. If you don’t have a specific activity in mind, then look for a more general activity break, which will usually have a wide choice of new things to try out.

Winter sports

While many ski holidays involve maybe an hour of time on the slopes, followed by lots of drinking, there are more active winter sport breaks available. From snow running to snowboarding, a winter activity break allows you to improve your skill level among spectacular mountain scenery.

If you want to return from your next holiday looking and feeling better than ever before, then it’s worth looking at the different kinds of fitness holidays available. From losing weight to improving your skill level in your favourite activity, there are lots of things you can achieve with just a few days away, and can feel more motivated than ever when you get home.
