TravelFIT FITCATION 101
Keen to book an active holiday, but not sure where to start? Raymond Viola, travel specialist at Health and Fitness Travel (healthandfitnesstravel.com.au), shares his tips for the perfect fitcation. 1 LIST YOUR GOALS “Before you choose a destination, make a list of the top three things you want to do or achieve, such as learning a new skill via expert coaching, or focusing on healthy eating at a wellness retreat.”
2 PREPARE YOUR BODY FOR THE JOURNEY “There’s a misconception that you already have to be fit and healthy to go on an active holiday. That’s not always the case, but working on your fitness and improving your diet before you head off will help you ease into your holiday.”

3 KNOW YOUR LIMITS “There’s a fitness program to suit every level, so don’t risk overworking your body on your holiday. Find the right balance for you, and be as active or relaxed as you need to be. Don’t risk injuries for the sake of competing with others – or with yourself!”
