Running on a treadmill onboard …. not for me …..

So this week I wanted to share with you my thoughts about gyms on board cruise ships …… Is there any need??

I am all up for a gentle jog around the running track with the sea air and bright blue skies around me, how refreshing is this and how often do you get this opportunity whilst your on board a ship that is sailing to your new experience – the next port of call on your dream vacation. however I could not think of anything worse then setting my alarm or even just taking time out of my day to run on a treadmill on board a ship in a gym, on my holiday.

All the cruise lines offer classes which are a perfect opportunity to try something new … after all is that not what cruising is all about …. but surely not for the same fitness routine you have at home …. in our busy lives now these days it is ok to stop and relax and you do not have to feel guilty about not stepping inside that gym on board your cruise. I love my fitness mainly my dancing and Yoga and I am someone who would be one of these people who would feel guilty by not going to what I enjoy however on board my holiday I want to make the most out of being able to take myself away from my busy life and introduce a new interest into my life.

With the new ships being released onto open waters now in 2016 there are so many more facilities to enjoy on board with more innovations, sports facilities and luxury spas so I encourage you to take advantage of this and relax and put your feet up once in a while.

The classes that are offered on board the different cruise lines vary from Yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi to Boot Camp and Spinning.  For me cruising is about stepping off the ship and feeling like you have experienced something new and refreshing so why not let this be one of these classes next time you choose to step inside the fitness area on board your next cruise.
