Boot Camp: Day 6 - Top 10 Weight Loss Camps BIKINI Boot Camp

Boot Camp Day 6: Bikini Boot Camp

Do visions of bikini’s and working out fill your head? Yes this does seem to be part of their attire, however maybe not the way that you may think.

This bootcamp is located on the beaches of Tulum, Ibiza. It is not being advertised as a weight loss camp but more of an adventure fitness and yoga holiday that has been "designed to help guests reconnect to themselves and nature through a combination of exercise, healthy eating, adventure, yoga, relaxation and pampering.”

Portovert Magazine explains more:"A typical day at Amansala Resort offers enough structure to keep you busy, but not so much that you can't veg out with a book and enjoy the sand and surf. You can opt to attend every single class, or pick and choose as the mood strikes: power yoga if you're hard core, restorative if you're sore.”

This bootcamp’s fitness curriculum is not set on "just loosing weight”. Instead their schedule and motives follow a have fun, get fit and no pressure philosophy.

“Who would have thought that sleeping in a cabana on the beach and eating fresh grilled fish, ceviche and fruit smoothies would be more rewarding and memorable than a stay at The Four Seasons.” – Rachel Tanner (Excerpt from Bikini Bootcamp -

     

"BIKINI BOOTCAMP INCLUDES 3 EXCURSIONS
BIKE RIDE TO THE MAYAN RUINS OF TULUM
Beautiful flat ride along the beach to the ruins followed by a guided tour. When you get back to camp you’ll definitely be ready to jump in the refreshing ocean.

Unlike other cities the pyramids of Tulum are small and most monuments had ceremonial functions. Tulum is the third most visited archaeological site of Mexico and a must see due to its extremely beautiful setting on a bluff overlooking the Caribbean Sea and located just a short bike ride from us.


VISIT A FRESHWATER SWIMMING POOL
Tulum’s Grand Cenote is a large beautiful garden cenote with gentle white sand beach type areas along with easily accessible caves for snorkeling and diving. You can swim around the edges of the cenote, viewing depths up to 10 meters.

Views include columns of stalactites and stalagmites of all shapes and sizes which resemble cities of skyscrapers. Large balls of roots and vines seem to grow out of the underwater ceiling, connected to the large jungle trees above. Schools of fish tend to follow, eating up the plant debri which swim fins and paddling feet tend to stir up. Little green turtles paddle around near the garden´s edge.


CLIMB A PYRAMID IN COBA
Enjoy a beautiful jungle walk before reaching the incredible ruins of Coba.

The archaeological site of Coba, surrounded by five lakes, is still largely hidden in the sub tropical vegetation. It contains about 6500 structures spread over nearly 70 km. This is the most important site of the Yucatán Peninsula that can only be compared with Chichen Itza his eternal rival, Archaeologists believe that Cobá had a population of 50 000 inhabitants (and possibly more) at its peak."  (Excerpt from Bikini Bootcamp 2015)
