Yep, by now you probably all know that I´m spending the week in Lanzarote, which is one of the Canary Islands just off the coast of Morocco. We are staying in Club La Santa, which is a humungus sport complex on the nort of the island. This place is amazing, I´ve never been or even heard of any hotels like that... people actually come here to do sports! Not the "I´m on vacation and I might do some sports" kind of way, but the "I wanna spend a week working my ass off and I might enjoy a bit of vacation while I´m at it kinda way". There are a lot of professional athletes, and very dedicated amateurs but you can forget cute bikinis and pareos... everyone is in workout gear 24/7! Ok there might be some bikini time as well, but it´s really about fitness here and these people mean FITNESS! So much motivation and inspiration! I actually started to take windsurfing classes!!!! I M IN LOVE!!!!!!!! Never thought that I´d enjoy it so much, especially in icy waters and stormy winds but next to snowboarding I think I´ve found a new fave sport! ;) I also do some other classes like spinning, yoga... etc and try to be very healthy and eat all the good kind of foods! ;) Oopps... which reinds me I gotta get going to my next class! ;) More from the island coming soon! Kisses!

Sounds like fun!!! I am running my first halfmarathon in two weeks - so I'd be happy to join you where you are right now ;)
ReplyDeletean interesting concept and a person might probably get more motivated once he/she sees that everyone around them is being active. definitely not a boring place!
