If you're in the mood for a complete workout, consider taking a trip centered around the fitness activity you love most. Whether you're a yoga enthusiast, a tennis fan or a runner who wants to push your skills to the limit, you'll find a camp to help you enjoy your favorite activity for the duration of your vacation. There are fitness camps for nearly every sport and activity imaginable.
If you want to get closer to nature, sign up for a multiday hiking or canoeing trip. Such adventures provide you with ever-changing scenery, a chance to make new friends with similar interests and a chance to exercise.
Most major cities in the world have vigorous activities you can participate in. If you want to see a different side of a city, consider renting in-line skates. Many cities in America have trails perfect for this sort of activity. One hour of in-line skating will burn approximately 750 calories while giving you fresh air and raising your heart rate all at the same time.
If you prefer biking, renting a bike for the day or even a few hours. This too will give you a great perspective on the city you're visiting and improve your cardiovascular fitness level.
Another idea is to let a professional guide walk you through the streets of a particular town. With a little research, you can easily find free city walking tours or private guides to show you around for as long as you want.
If you can't afford any tours, make it a point to walk as much as you can while you're seeing new things. This will give you a better feel for the city you're exploring and help you attain a higher level of fitness in the process.
Even if the main purpose of your trip is relaxing by the hotel pool, you can work fitness into your vacation. In many places around the globe, you can book day trips for hours of awe-inspiring snorkeling, hiking, swimming, kayaking or other outdoorsy activities and still be back to your hotel in time for dinner.
There are a plethora of ways to incorporate fitness into any vacation. Make it a point to be active on all your journeys and your body will thank you in uncountable ways.
