Sail into Shape This Winter!
Join a fitness professional in a one-of-a-kind fitness vacation…as you sail and sweat in the tropical paradise of Belize!
Who: Kansas City's Fitness Quest trainer Spencer Shaver has devised a devious and delightful regime of exercise, yoga and healthy eating...all wrapped around a sailing and beach vacation in unspoiled Belize. Emporia State health promotion major Sarah Johnson will be our on-site trainer.
What: Five days and four nights aboard a luxury sailboat with two nights ashore in the quaint fishing village of Placencia.
When: Feb.7-13
Where: The world’s second longest reef system runs along the 150 mile-coast line of Belize creating an myriad of deserted cayes for exploring…and exercise. Some exercise programs will be conducted on-board; others, will be conducted “boot camp style” on the beach.
Why: This is a perfect way to jump start your winter fitness program. It’s a sailing vacation…complete with all the delights of on-board cuisine but without the guilt because we’ll burn as many calories as we consume!
