Fitness Holiday Ideas

I have decided to travel on a fitness holiday. I am a student and I will graduate in August. My guardians told me that if I pass I can go on a gap year, superb news! I am a little bit chubby and it is time to reduce my baby fat so my choice is to begin my gap year of with a fitness holiday.

I realized I wished to start my gap year off with a fitness holiday, but I had no notion what the option were. Thank god for the world-wide-web. I typed in fitness holiday in to Google and there it was. Xtreme Gap a interesting looking gap year company specializing in fitness holidays. With options all over the world.

I found three really cool options. Because I am into Martial Arts (my whole family is, do not know why), I was looking for a Fitness holiday with martial Arts. I found Mixed martial Arts in Thailand, Kung Fu in China and a fitness holiday programme with capoeira in Brazil.

I found a fitness holiday in Thailand where you can combine different martial arts and train every day up to eight hours. Wonderful just what I need. This means I can check out the different martial arts, train on the beach (they have weekly beach sessions) train with national champions which allows me to get to understand the culture better and have healthy food without too many distractions from parties going on since this fitness holiday is secluded.

A fitness holiday in China also sounds very interesting to me. Especially if I can combine my fitness holiday with learning a new language. At the Xtreme Gap Kung Fu training programme in China you will get lessons in mandarin. Ok no beaches around but during this fitness holiday programme you will staying a world heritage, not bad either. Food is also included here... no pizza and pasta and fries. Oh yes, I will get so fit if I choose this fitness holiday option.

However the coolest fitness holiday programme I found was the one in Brazil. Xtreme Gap supplies a Capoeira fitness holiday programme in Rio. Picturing myself in a string on the busiest beach in Rio is still unthinkable but after a few weeks in to my fitness holiday I might give it a try. A Favela tour and an English speaking rep will be there for me to introduce me to Rio. Nice feeling to not be starting off alone.

I have the feeling my parents will be supporting me, they would love to see me on a fitness vacation to get in shape. They were very young their selves when they started travelling too so they will also support which i want to go on a fitness holiday far from home. I will get to learn more about myself as I am in a foreign country by myself.

The good thing about booking my fitness holiday through a gap year company is that they can advise me before I go, help me out with visa’s and I know I will have the right support once I am out there. And I will meet lots of other gap year travellers on their fitness holiday. With these arguments I know my parents will agree on me to go, and maybe even pay for it.
