4 good reasons to do sport even on vacation!
Vacations generally consist of days of relaxation and relaxation. However, you can change the situation by taking advantage of your days off to try new sporting activities.
Whether you are going to the mountains, the sea or the great outdoors, bringing a sporting dimension to a classic stay will allow you to experience an original and definitely memorable vacation.
To try new activities
There’s more to vacation than just hiking, swimming and pétanque, you know. There are a thousand and one activities you can try. This is particularly the case of bodyweight sumo squat, a muscle strengthening exercise that allows you to work your thighs, glutes, abs, back and adductor muscles.
It is an exercise reminiscent of the classic squat, but here the arms are straight, the feet are positioned beyond shoulder height and the tips of the feet are pointed outwards. Then simply bend your legs while keeping your back straight, your abs contracted and your buttocks facing back. Go down to a 90-degree angle, avoiding bringing your knees forward, then come back up, pushing on your heels.
To get out of your comfort zone
For you, vacations rhyme with rest? Lying on a deckchair to bask in the sun is indeed very tempting, but why not try another experience? You will have so much to gain by stepping out of your comfort zone. Choosing to integrate a few sports and physical activity sessions other than discovery hiking into your vacation program will bring you much more.
You will see that you will find much more pleasure in surpassing your limits and testing your agility and endurance through training circuits than in drinking all day long. You will return from your stay reinvigorated and above all, you will have succeeded in giving your old habits a facelift.
To keep fit
On vacation, we tend to relax and it is no surprise that we find ourselves back with a few extra kilos. Know that every movement counts, whether you choose to walk to explore the surrounding nature, cycle to the local watering hole or do stretches every morning, every time you move your body , you prevent fat from creeping in and allow your body to stay toned.
Also try to reduce snacking and other snacks that provide no nutritional value. Eat as much seasonal fruit and vegetables as you want, grill meat and fish and even plan a few aperitifs with friends, but never go overboard.
To make the most of your stay
Finally, even if you are only going for a week, take advantage of your getaway to schedule a workout or physical activity session between two sunbathing sessions at the beach. By choosing to alternate relaxation sessions and sports sessions, you will benefit from the benefits of both.
