We love a good full-body workout using only bodyweight. Getting the heart pumping, a rather large "sweat on" and trying to have as little rest as possible.
At our retreats most of the workouts consist of bodyweight and exercises using functional equipment.
Another factor that is also quite challenging and people don't really take into concideration before joining us, is the surroundings.
Most of our guests are not used to having a workout on the beach. Taking your average workout and then being able to do it in deep or flat sand is challenging in itself, also taking into consideration the climate.
All of these elements make such a difference to the workout and although it's tough, your body will adapt quite quickly and by the end of the week you will be surprised how much fitter you will feel compared to when you arrived.
Energy levels will be higher
Rest time between exercises will be shorter
Improved cardio levels
Increased fitness and strength
Learning simple and effective techniques
Feeling confident
This CAN all be achieved in a week.
BODYWEIGHT MADNESS!!!
From time too time we like to post a workout on our blog. For this particular one, no equipment is needed.
We hope that this will give you a little motivation and a good variety of exercises…
Enjoy the burn ;)
