Getting fit in Cabarete
Not everyone likes going to the gym, but after spending years eating fast food and chugging sodas the time has come. You either continue on that downward and slippery slope or join a gym. The whole idea may seem intimidating and fraught with opportunities for humiliation. But Why Go to the Gym at All? Good question! Here’s why: because even though exercise is not generally “fun,” at least not like sex or chocolate cake or winning the Lottery, at the gym it is often less awful than in some other places. Depending on what options are nearby, there are all kinds of things you can play around with to keep you occupied. They have fancy equipment you could never afford yourself; aerobic classes with pulsing music and perky instructors (or their mellower yoga counterparts); they might have pools to swim in and courts to play on and cute buffed trainers to help you personalize your fitness program. Plus, gyms are climate controlled! In short: if you don’t have a wonderful outdoor alternative, gyms can be awesome places to get fit without suffering too much. A great way to get through the anxiety of starting in a new gym is by going to a destination gym for a fitness vacation. During your vacation on the beach, you will build your knowledge level and basic fitness while on vacation in an epic location doing numerous activities including; Personal training, Spinning on Real Rider bikes, Power yoga, Working your core or whatever else you fancy. Our unique location in Cabarete offers so much for such a small place. The fit active vibe will help motivate you to do your classes, and the like minded and friendly people all around will help you get fit! . We are in Cabarete, on the north coast of the Dominican Republic. A quaint little surfer, kite surfer and wind surfing mecca. Well okay maybe mecca is to strong, but surely a great spot and a close flight for many. So close in fact, that it’s faster for New Yorkers to come down here than to head out to the hamptons, and often for the same price! A former north coast fishing village has transformed into a real beauty of a spot for vacationers.

A Walk on Kitebeach, Cabarete.
Usually we like to talk about the extreme activities available here at eXtreme Hotel Cabarete such as kiteboarding, surfing, circus school with flying trapeze and Mixed Martial Arts and Ju Jitsu training. However, as a beach front hotel with a great location on Kitebeach here in Cabarete, we are also blessed with the beauty of the ocean and a stretch of sandy beach extending miles in either direction from the hotel. Many of guests of eXtreme and other hotels take advantage of the beach all day long enjoying many leisure activities including kitesurfing, beach volleyball, building sandcastles or simply just sunbathing. One favorite activity is to take a walk or a run on the beach in the mornings to start the day. You can amble along enjoying the sound of the ocean waves rolling up on the beach, you can push yourself running to your favorite tunes on your MP3 player, or simply take the time to walk your dog and play a game of fetch. This morning I took a leisurley walk along Kitebeach and brought my camera along with me. I have included several of the photos I took of many interesting things that I saw on my walk. I hope you enjoy them as well, and have the opportunity to check things out for yourself while here on your vacation. Some of the things I saw included: horses running on the beach, crabs scrambling from their hidey-holes to the water, shells, interesting reef formations, sandunes, pretty flowers, coconut palms, really neat looking driftwood and palm-roofed huts to name a few.
