Challenge Yourself on Vacation

Taking a break from the busyness of life is good for the soul, and getting away from your usual workout routine is good for the body! A vacation is the perfect time to both relax and challenge yourself in new ways. When you free yourself from a routine, you open your mind to new ways to move your body and invite in renewed energy.

Moving outside of your comfort zone not only challenges the body and mind, but also stimulates growth, builds resilience and often leads to a renewed sense of accomplishment. That step outside of your usual looks different for everyone. Some may need a restorative yoga class to ground themselves, while others may need to challenge themselves with an intense cardio class. No matter what you’re craving, the Blackberry Mountain wellness program meets you where you are.

But for those that love intense workouts and are ready to give your stamina an extra push during your stay, we invite you to try out our Mountain HIIT or TRX and Kettlebell class!

Mountain HIIT: This is one of our most athletic conditioning classes, with short explosive intervals and even shorter recovery periods. This class combines aerobic exercise and resistance training for a quick, full-body workout, plus a total recovery and cooldown, in less than 45 minutes.

TRX and Kettlebells: This full-body circuit class uses two opposing yet complimentary strength training tools. In this case, the instability that suspension training (the TRX system) creates forces your body to stabilize with each repetition using core strength and both upper and lower body work. After completing a circuit on the TRX, the trainer will then offer a complimentary exercise using the kettlebell weight of your choice. Like the HIIT class, there are short recovery times between strength training circuits.

While high-demand workout may not be your first thought for vacation, you won’t regret giving it a try. Activate your body and let the freedom of your escape fuel your energy!
