Health and Fitness Retreats

How fit do you have to be for a Fitness Retreat? 

Fitness retreats are designed for all experience and fitness levels, but it's best to know what to expect and how to prepare before you arrive. Fitness retreats are likely to be very physically enduring, try to get into some sort of fitness routine upon arrival to be warmed up and loose.

Nutrition is another big target point at health and fitness retreats. Fuel your body with the right vitamins and nutrients to build up energy levels.
