There are many fitness retreat holidays available for people who love to get away and stay active, such as this retreat in beautiful Sardinia which allows you to explore uninhabited islands by bike, foot, and boat.
People all around the world are choosing the take part in more active holidays because there is a large increase in how serious people take their fitness.
If you are jetting away on holiday soon then here are 7 essential items every fitness fanatic needs to take with them.
1.Water bottle
One of the most important things you can take on holiday with you is your water bottle. A vigorous workout will take it out of you, especially if you are in a hotter climate, so make sure you stay hydrated.
There are many types of water bottles available. For example, there are collapsible water bottles that you can buy, so that you can save on space in your luggage.
2. Deodorant
Nobody likes to smell of sweat so an essential item that should be packed for your holiday is definitely a good deodorant. You probably won’t be working out the whole time on your holiday so you will want to smell nice during the times when you aren’t breaking a sweat.
3. Microfibre towel
Microfibre towels are super absorbent which makes them great for workouts. They are also quick drying which means you can wash them easily and have them dry ready for your next use.

4. Yoga mat
In an ideal world, you would take all your favourite workout items with you, but you can only fit so much in your suitcase. If you have space you could fit in your yoga mat, after all they are very light.
Alternatively you could take Yoga Paws, which are small soft pads that can slip onto your hands and feet and act like a yoga mat. Yoga Paws are much smaller and more practical for your luggage.
5. Trainers
Don’t forget to pack your trainers. Trainers or running shoes are great for all types of workouts, whether it is going for an early morning jog along the beach, or getting a sweat on in your room doing an aerobic workout.
Taking your trainers can also be great if the new holiday shoes that you brought aren’t that comfortable and are starting to rub your feet.
6. Playlist
Every great workout needs a good motivational playlist, something that will put you in the mood and encourage you to push yourself. Sometimes you might just want to relax but a good playlist will help you get into the spirit of things.
7. Workout clothing
Last but not least, you need to take your workout clothes with you. Yes, it might be less to pack if you just use some of the clothes you are taking on holiday with you. However, it isn’t as practical and will make your clothes smell of sweat.
Your workout clothes can benefit you and your workout. Workout clothes can offer you protection and can prevent injuries, improve your performance, and give your brain the boost it needs to prepare for your workout.
Work up a sweat when you are away
Whether you are going on holiday to relax and want to try and keep in shape, or whether you are going on an active holiday, make sure you create a checklist of all the essential items you need whilst you are away.
