Exercise releases endorphins which means you’ll be happier, the tough part is getting started, but an exercise infused fitness holiday pushes through that barrier. Fitness has positive effects on our mental wellbeing just as much as our physical bodies. Whether you are looking to really feel the burn on a bootcamp holiday or are seeking something more restorative such as a yoga retreat, working up a sweat is bound to put a smile on your face, it is incredibly rewarding! Plus, you’ll relish your downtime even more, imagine sinking into that massage after a sporty day.  ⁠
