Ananda Activ-Fitness

The Activ-Fitness programme integrates the best of indoor and outdoor personal fitness training, guided outdoor treks, yoga, aqua fitness and therapeutic spa experiences to enhance muscle tone and cardiovascular fitness. Physiotherapy addresses musculoskeletal and neuromuscular problems, muscular imbalances and realignment, the elasticity of the muscles, the range of motion of the joints and overall blood circulation. Ananda’s Activ-Fitness foundation programmes target those who want to improve their fitness levels - be they intermediate or advanced. The programme also caters to those who are looking to improve mobility, and lose weight through increased physical activity and monitored nutrition. The programme aims for 4 hours of training a day, across individual sessions (fitness sessions, outdoor boot camps and outdoor trail workout sessions) and scheduled group sessions (aqua fitness, core strengthening, mobility, foam rolling and stretching etc.). Rehabilitation sessions through personal training sessions will be provided for any chronic injuries.

Nutrition consultation and diet planning are key aspects of this programme. Nutrition focuses on fuelling workouts and assisting post-workout recovery and largely focuses on foods that are high in protein, high fibre, healthy fats and complex carbohydrates and grains with low glycaemic index. The meals will be individually planned across all day, including pre and post-workout snacks. The Comprehensive 7 and 14-night Activ-Fitness Programmes continue with a deeper understanding of where your body needs improvement and the type of landscape and experience required for a more intensive outdoor fitness activity. Muscle endurance is tested during circuit training and personal fitness sessions to gauge how your body responds to outdoor terrain. Recuperate with physiotherapy and sports massages that help in removing muscle soreness while improving blood flow. In this phase, there is a higher emphasis on the intake of complex carbohydrates and high protein to fuel the body for optimum performance. The outdoor regime is complemented with wellness therapies to increase blood circulation, improve body mobility and restore balance. The comprehensive Activ-Fitness programme at Ananda leaves one with improved muscle tone, cardiovascular fitness, improved and relaxed mind, reduced water retention, improved lymphatic stimulation, blood circulation, appetite and sleep.
