Summer holidays are a time to relax and recharge – but that doesn’t mean your fitness has to take a back seat. At Newport Live, we believe movement should support your lifestyle, not compete with it. Whether you're jetting off abroad, planning a staycation, or juggling kids/grandkids at home, here are some easy ways to stay active and come back feeling refreshed – not rusty.
Here are some top tips for moving better this Summer - enjoy!
1. Move with Purpose, Not Pressure
Skip the guilt and focus on daily movement, not perfect workouts. Even a20-minute walk, swim, or stretch session counts. Staying active will boost your energy, reduce stiffness, and keep your mood lifted.
2. Pack Light, Train Smart
A mini resistance band or skipping rope takes up almost no space – but opens up huge workout options. Ask our Gym Instructors for a quick holiday band workout before you travel!
3. Try This: Newport Live's Speedy Circuit
Complete 3–4 rounds of:
• 30 seconds bodyweight squats
• 30 seconds press-ups (knees or toes)
• 30 seconds mountain climbers
• 30 seconds rest
No equipment. No excuses. Just a short, sharp way to keep active wherever you are-in the gym, at home, in a hotel room or on the beach!
4. Aqua
Not leaving town? Join our Aqua classes for a cool and effective low-impact workout.
5. Plan Your Post-Holiday Reset
Ease back into routine with a free Gym Induction or 1-2-1 session. We’ll assess where you’re at and help build a gentle restart plan that gets you motivated –not overwhelmed.
6. Just remember - movement is medicine
So even a walk with friends, a bit of dancing at a festival or some gentle yoga stretches in the garden all counts towards your health and well-being!
