As we are based on such a beautiful Island many of the daily
activities and exercise classes are taken outside, in lovely
locations with inspiring views: after all, this is an experience
we
want you to enjoy!
We offer a selection of activities to keep the week as varied as
possible and to enable you to perhaps try something
different or to
expand on any exercises you may already do
with some new ideas.
Typical
activities include:
Circuits
Chi
Ball
Urban Rebounder
Skipping
Aqua Fit
Swimming
Power walking and hiking
Jogging
Fit Ball
Team games
Yoga
Salsa
and/or Belly Dancing
Obstacle course
A
Typical day at Boot camp
We start everyday at 6.45 with some gentle yoga stretches and a
warm up class incorporating some basic circuits or a gentle jog.
Breakfast is at 8.00 following which we set off on an
island walk and
experience the wonderful natural environment
and the stunning
views, enjoying a packed lunch along the
way in a secluded
location. Upon return to base we take an
exercise class and cool
off afterwards with a relaxing swim.
During the course of the week we will take time to talk
either as a
group or individually about diet and motivation
and any personal
issues.
Finally after dinner
together there will be time for a final round
of circuits
followed by some relaxing yoga stretches.
ABCROX is not
intended to be a pressurised experience, at the end of your time
with us we want you to leave feeling fitter,healthier,
more
toned, re-vitalised and relaxed. We want you to have enjoyed
the whole experience having had fun and achieved your goals,
made new friends and had a unique insight into life on this
wonderful
island.

The Walking Week
For such a small island (23kmx 3km) Alonnisos
has a wide variety of
terrain, ranging from relatively easy
walks along forest trails and
through unspoilt olive and
almond groves, to a boulder strewn remote gorge or a taxing
climb to the high point of the island in the
north.
From the pine forests in the south, to the wild macchia
vegetation
of the north and a coastline dotted with small
blue coves and white
pebble beaches the island is abundant
in natural beauty. In spring
the profusion of wild flowers
and herbs provide an explosion of
colour and fragrance,
which can only really be appreciated on foot.
Walking along
these routes with Chris will give you a unique insight
into
life on the island, both as it is today and as it was in years
gone by.
The walking week includes 4 full day walks
with days off in between
for you to relax, perhaps take a
boat trip to the Marine Park, or
take some additional yoga
lessons.
Additionally we will take you on a short walk
to discover the
healing herbs of Alonnisos and learn a
little about their use,
function, history and mythology, or
to see a stunning sunset.
Whatever you wish to do we will be
on hand to advise and assist you.
All walks are taken
from Chris' book "Alonnisos through the souls of
your feet".
All walks are taken from Chris' book "Alonnisos
through the souls of your feet".
If
you are planning on coming with a partner who will not be
participating in the health & fitness programme or the Walking
Week, we can advise on a number of more relaxing activites, or
perhaps arrange for some yoga lessons. Please feel free to
