Burn off the Calories

 

Holiday concepts change as frequently as society does. Going to Malta, however, offers you the chance to enjoy both extremes – you can indulge in the best inter-continental, ethnic or traditional foods, then quickly burn off those excess calories even before you grudgingly take the trip back home.

Most top-class hotels on the island boast of state-of-the-art gymnasia and there are numerous spas and fitness and leisure centres where, bloated and unhappily overweight, you can pretty quickly make peace with your conscience. This new trend in holiday-making has caught on as more and more people become conscious of the need to be ready mentally and physically for the inevitable return to the office.

While you may want to show off your newly-acquired tan, you certainly won’t enjoy displaying the new bulges. Young couples, especially, are today keener than ever to plan a holiday that has both balance and binge, i.e. plenty of fun and gastronomic adventure set against an equal share of self-care and physical well-being.

In Malta, you can achieve this easily and cheaply. If you are not keen on handling weights and other gymnastic gadgets, there is always walking, power-walking and jogging along the many seafronts where people of all shapes and sizes converge to fight the calories war.

Other alternatives include sports activities that of course vary according to the season and, for the brave, unconditional surrender to one of the many qualified nutritionists and dieticians that abound in the local market.
