Warning: Contains scenes that may make you want to book a holiday!
Sometimes, the thought of going to the gym is about as appealing as another plate of reheated Brussels sprouts (yes they are an excellent source of nutrients, but so is dark chocolate and no one in their right mind chooses sprouts over a salted caramel dark chocolate bar).
But what if we tempted you with the idea that you could top up your tan at the same time as your muscle tone, in some of the world’s most beautiful locations? Imagine surfing and practising yoga under the warm Moroccan sun or boxing on the beach in Ibiza? Look no further. We’ve done our research and put together the ultimate list of healthy holidays that will help you kick-start your fitness regime.
