A specially designed body shaping workout program should be suitable for people of any gender, age and fitness level.
Fitness tours are a joint product of travel companies and sports clubs. Such trips are a kind of “gourmet cuisine” of rest. True, the prices for such a vacation are appropriate. Their level, as a rule, is higher than the prices for passive rest in a similar hotel. percent by 30-50, and sometimes for all 80. After all, you have to pay not only for a ticket, visa, accommodation and meals, but also 3-4 daily fitness classes, work and travel of instructors. But I must admit –
What does the fitness tour include
Usually it has two parts – active and passive. What they are, you probably already guessed yourself. The active part is a varied fitness training program, the passive part is relaxation in your free time by the sea or the pool, the opportunity to use the services of the spa, excursions and just a pleasant pastime.

- a variety of fitness workouts;
- a specially designed training program for body shaping, improving well-being, strengthening health (cardiovascular and respiratory systems, improving metabolism) and physical parameters (strength, flexibility, endurance); the program must be suitable for people of any gender, age and skill level;
- passive rest on the beach by the sea, free time for rest, entertainment and excursions;
- control over anthropometric indicators (percentage of fat and muscle mass, body volume, etc.);
- assistance in compiling the correct diet during the tour.
Strength training programs in different countries differ slightly from each other, but dance programs differ, and quite seriously.
How to choose a country
First of all, define your financial opportunities. The further the country is, the more expensive the tour is. You enter into two contracts: one with a travel agency, the other with a fitness club. Pay for the flight, transfer, meals, accommodation to the travel agency, for the fitness – to the sports complex.
The program of your classes will depend on which country you decide to go to. True, strength exercises differ slightly from each other, but dance exercises differ. In Egypt, Turkey, Tunisia, they work harder in the classroom thighs, abdomen, chest. In India – legs and arms, facial expressions are also connected, which, by the way, is also useful – it increases the tone of the facial muscles. smooth movements (flowing into one another) resemble oriental martial arts in slow motion. It helps to feel every muscle in your body and to tune the vestibular apparatus.
Spain offers elements flamenco, clear percussion of rhythms with feet, sharp turns of the head, body and graceful work of the hands. On the African continent, great importance is attached to the movement of the hips. Bent legs and Mind-blowing buttock shaking fascinate, especially men! If your wallet allows you to travel to Cuba or Latin American countries, your body will be taught to walk in the literal sense of the word.
The duration of the fitness tour, as a rule, is 10-14 days (a shorter period is considered irrational) with accommodation in a four- or five-star hotel. The fitness tour program usually includes two to four workouts a day. In the morning – Pilates, yoga or a flex lesson (calm, non-dynamic activities aimed at developing flexibility, improving posture and awakening the body). In the afternoon – water aerobics in the pool and the power section or active aerobic classes, dancing. In the evening – power yoga or stretch.
