3 Ways to Stay Fit While in Africa

Travelling the world for long periods at a time means adjusting well to a different culture. This didn’t stop Tatiana Kukanova Regan from finding ways how to stay physically and mentally fit while in different environments.  While in Africa, she discovered the following activities to be suitable for all types of fitness enthusiasts:

1.       Running

This is one easy way to stay in great shape since it’s something you do even at home. Not that this is new but in South Africa, you’ll be surprised to see that many people join running clubs. The upside about joining is that you get to meet people who are as enthusiastic as you are.

Western Cape adds a twist to its running clubs. They’ve combined it with another activity that’s surely a favorite: wine-tasting. Instead of having water breaks, they have wine-tasting breaks. Many wine farms host events like this.

2.       Dancing

This may also sound like it’s nothing new but there’s a global movement known as the Secret Sunrise. There are guided sessions for this activity. People literally get up at dawn, head to a secret destination, and dance before the start of day.

This activity started in Zambia and it is suitable for young and old people. Secret sunrise aims to unite people while encouraging them to reconnect with nature.

3.       Pilates

The good news is that pilates studios can be found anywhere in South Africa. All you need is a gym mat and an hour a few days in a week. Doing Pilates strengthens your core and improves posture.

Another good thing about Pilates is that you can tailor the movements and positions according to your personal needs. Doctors usually allow pregnant women to continue doing Pilates.

These are just three of the many wonderful activities you can do while in Africa. Travelling is more fun with exercise. Try something new today.
