Bottom of Form

Endless are the options for those who are interested in and would be happy to try fitness vacations. This interesting way to spend your holidays is preferred by people keen on sports. Fitness vacations can take place nearly anywhere- from the beach to the mountains. The individual traveler can plan a fitness vacation by himself, but could also do this through guide services. There are people who prefer vacations at resorts and spas that are fitness-oriented, while others opt for fitness cruise vacations- on cruise ships! 
Fitness vacations are also divided by their aim- they can focus on weight loss or on specific sports, general wellness or healing.
Lots of people may choose to take fitness vacations high in the mountains. During winter months, they can snowboard or ski. Most of the mountain hotels direct guests to experienced instructors when they feel like they need extra help. During summer months, fitness lovers can kayak, backpack, hike, or mountain bike. Guides are available again, if necessary.
Another option, quite popular, is traveling to the beach. Water sports usually abound- such as snorkeling, scuba diving, swimming and surfing. Those travelers who love land may opt for ocean-side run or beach volleyball. There are also hotels that don’t specialize in such fitness vacations, but give their guests an opportunity to participate in the provided surf lessons or beach-side yoga classes.
There are people who may prefer their fitness vacations to take place in spa or resort environments. Lots of the fitness-related spas and resorts offer different fitness classes- from yoga to kick boxing. This way they may give their guests the opportunity of taking advantage of the nearby desert, mountain, rain forest, beach or ocean. These spas and resorts typically offer meal options that are healthful and usually include the freshest ingredients. Instructional classes are also provided and guests can learn some nutritional information or new sports activities- they may, for example teach guests how to prepare meals without sugar or how to be more efficient in swimming while preparing for a triathlon.
Usually the fitness vacations at spas and resorts provide specialized in nutrition and physiology employees. The fitness resorts sometimes specialize in a single area, such as Pilates or yoga, but they also focus on such issues as weight loss, detoxification, wellness and healing. Sports fans can also find resorts offering several or a combination of topics; others have narrower focus- only on detoxification or weight loss.
THE BEST FITNESS VACATIONS happen on cruise ships! The vessels make stops along their journey and while guests are on-board the cruise ship, they can run, swim, play tennis, take fitness classes. But they can stay active while off ship, taking advantage of area highlights- from trekking through rain forests to hiking up mountains.
