Many resorts also offer exercise classes at the pool. At Villa del Palmar Cancun Mujeres Beach Resort in Cancun, Mexico, you can join in the daily swimnastics for a fun aqua aerobics routine that keeps you active and having fun during your vacation.

Hit the Gym

If you don’t have time for a long workout, then your resort’s got you covered. Visit the resort gym or fitness center and get in a quick run on one of the treadmills, or keep your muscles toned with weight machines and equipment. You’ll find fitness centers with amazing views at resorts such as Marriott’s Grand Chateau in Las Vegas, Nevada or Dreams Los Cabos Suites Golf Resort & Spa in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Some resorts, like Marriott’s Kauai Beach Club in Lihue, Hawaii. also offer free fitness classes to help you stay motivated and active.

Stay Active

Explore the area around your resort and enjoy exciting outdoor activities you can’t try at home. If you live in a warm environment, use your vacation to try skiing and snowboarding. Discover hiking trails near your resort, such as the lakeside trails around White Bluff Resort in Whitney, Texas. You can also discover opportunities for mountain climbing, boating, fishing, and many more exciting and energetic activities.
