AN OCEANSIDE OASIS For most of us, going on vacation means relaxing and unplugging, wishing that we could just move into the hotel and stay on vacation forever. A Refresh Fitness Retreat is different in that you willingingly allow your butt to be kicked and are open to eating in a brand new way. I’m sure you’re thinking, “Working out on vacation? Yeah right. Nice try.” But before you write this off, let us share our experience. Through this trip our group of sixteen Refeshers combined the eyeopening experience of travel with clean eating, fitness training, and learning skills to reset and balance our life. Pedregal provided incredible views of the Pacific Ocean and the beautiful rocky terrain of Cabo. The hills were perfect for killer workouts which included too many lunges and sprints on those cobblestone streets to count! Each day is filled with two-a-day workouts, one in the morning and one late afternoon. Every workout was different and incorporated the surroundings including: running hills, working out with sand bags at the beach, cycling, TRX work, boxing, and yoga at sunset. The real difference of a fitness getaway is the opportunity to take four or five days just to focus on yourself. In our busy lives that just doesn’t happen at home. This is why creating a time and place away from the pressures of daily life to reset what you are doing for yourself physically, nutritionally, and mentally can be so life changing. Like memories from your travel, you will carry those skills back with you long after you are home. www.refreshfitness.com 25
