One of the best ways to get away from our hectic everyday schedule, get energised & rejuvenated and to feel healthier and better about ourselves is to take a break. But not just any break, a holiday with purpose, a fitness holiday. Many people are sceptical about the concept of fitness holidays and believe in a few rumoured myths about fitness holidays. Let us unravel a few of these common myths.
Myth 1: Accommodations provided are very much like an army boot camp
The accommodation provided for these holidays is nothing like a boot camp, where there is a dormitory with bunk beds in orderly fashion and unhygienic bathroom facilities. In fact, they are called health retreats that are more like a resort or a five-star hotel, wherein one gets to enjoy several fitness activities, participate in relaxation techniques and enjoy healthy food during their stay.
Myth 2: The exercise regime is harsh and painful
The guests at the health retreats have to follow a rigorous exercise regime for sure, but it is the trainers who ensure that no injuries are caused to anybody. The trainers, doctors, dieticians and other personnel do a complete health check-up before the start of your holidays. These check-ups help them access the required level of exercise as well as the level you are capable of accomplishing. According to your reports and preferences, they devise an exercise regime that suits you and helps you accomplish your goals within the given time.
Myth 3: The food served at these retreats is tasteless and disgusting
Just because the food is healthy and according to your diet requirement, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it can’t suit your taste buds. These health retreats hire excellent cooks, who can dish out some of the tastiest delicacies, but at the same time, ensure they are healthy. These cooks don’t only bring you tasty and healthy dishes, but also teach you how to cook them, so that you can continue with this diet plan even after your holidays.
These are just some of the rubbish myths which surround fitness holidays. Now that you know the truth, why not take that much needed and deserved break and go for such a life changing experience.
