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.
