Vacation! The time has finally come.
You often look forward to it for a long time. But how do you actually stay active on vacation? Here are a few tips.
Walking in nature or around culture
The most obvious form, something you can do anytime and anywhere, is walking.
After all, you always have your legs with you. Almost every holiday area has beautiful cultural city centers, and of course, there is 'nature' too. Inquire at the nearest tourist information point for the most beautiful walks. Walking is fun even in less-than-ideal weather. Prepare well for it and bring a backpack with rain gear, dry socks, and your fully charged mobile phone.
Strength training with your own body weight
We’ve probably done them together at the gym before. Push-ups, the plank, squats, lunges. But what do you think of the exercises: dead bug, superman, bird dog, hip raise? All exercises you can easily do on a towel that work your entire body.
Cycling, even through hilly landscapes
Not all countries are 'bike-friendly', but if you go on holiday to a flat country, you can usually rent bicycles. That way, you also get to see something of your surroundings!
Sports clubs in the local villages/towns
Visit a specific sports club. Have you ever been to a tennis court in Croatia, a sailing school in England, or a SUP club in Italy? Every place has its own sports clubs that often offer tourists the opportunity to buy a day pass.
Playing with or without children
Are you on holiday with children? Play hide-and-seek, tag, football, etc. Everyone gets moving, and the format of the game makes it great fun. Of course, it's fun for adults too.
Fitness center
Of course, there are fitness centers all over the world. Sometimes they are very prominent in a city center, while others are hidden away on industrial estates.
Basic-Fit, for example, is located in Belgium, France, Luxembourg, and Spain.
Memories
Be sure to take photos of all your exercise and sports activities as well. That way, you'll get double the enjoyment out of looking at them as a memento after your vacation.
We wish you all a wonderful and sporty holiday.
