While many people gained weight during the pandemic, others have used the change in routine to eat better and exercise more.
The difference between losers, gainers and maintainers during the pandemic is largely dependent on your mind-set: “how you approach a new set of circumstances and cope with change.”
One of the many challenges of Covid was the abrupt change to day-to-day schedules. People began working from home. Gyms, recreation centres and parks closed, curbing exercise routines. Stress levels skyrocketed for many, with baking, eating and drinking becoming major outlets and means of reward.
However, you still need to work your body! After a day doing almost nothing at home, and after a lot of delicious food, it can be satisfying to do some sports again. In Bali, there is lots of surfing and yoga, but there are certainly other options to stay fit and get in shape!
Bali Beach Bootcamp
Bootcamp is a group exercise in the open air under the guidance of a trainer. The teamwork will increase the efficiency of this training. The participants train more intensively than they would individually. Several boot camps are offered in Bali, but 2BeFIT is the number 1 boot camp specialist on the island. With years of experience in organizing beach training, they organize boot camps on various beaches in Bali. Everyone is welcome during these sessions. The certified trainers are experts in correcting techniques and challenge people based on each level, which will certainly benefit the final training result. With a mix of cardio, strength, and interval training, it is a heavy and sandy, but balanced workout. The workout involves sporting with bags filled with sand, battle ropes, tires, and body weight. Under the motto: ‘Be strong. Be fast. Be flexible. Be powerful’. the trainers are committed to pushing participants to the limit.
Crossfit
Work on your summer body, strength, and fitness during a motocross session. Crossfit is fairly new and is seen by many people as a new trend in fitness. Crossfit is becoming increasingly popular and is performed in a Crossfit Box. Crossfit is a training method that combines weightlifting, athletics, and endurance training. Variation is very important here. This is why a different workout should be done every day. Crossfit is offered in a few places in Bali, but CrossFit Wanderlust in Canggu has the best known and advanced Crossfit box. As the largest and most equipped Crossfit gym, the gigantic Crossfit box consists of meters long Crossfit racks and rows with all kinds of dumbells and barbells. All of this is under the guidance of coaches so that effective training can be done to achieve goals. Beginners are always welcome here but can be put off by the intense lessons and the heavy equipment. The coaches work under the motto of Wanderlust: “Building Better Humans”, so be prepared to leave with some muscle pain.
Fitness
