Exercise in Paradise

One of the things we love about Puerto Vallarta is that it gives us 365 days of perfect weather for exercise! Since food is one of our favorite past times  it is imperative that we maintain a constant exercise routine. However, lately I've been eating more than exercising! And when our body is constantly changing and the time passes by, there is no mercy for lounging! It's time to return to action!
There are many gyms to choose from in Puerto Vallarta, but there are also many things you can do outdoors. Your winter training can consists of walking to the beach and climbing stairs at Playa Los Muertos while having a fantastic view.

So what do we do to  exercise during our summer months? Staying in shape in the heat and humidity can be very difficult and requires you to get up early. If you are up arou

nd 6 am go for a jog at Puerto Vallarta City Stadium it is full of people running or walking. The stadium is large enough, a great resource for exercise if you're on a tight budget. They offer aerobic classes in the morning and training at a very low cost.

Swimming is another great form of exercise. I especially like because it is one of the best ways to achieve a full body workout without all the sweat! If you do not have a pool, the sea is just as good for doing laps because the water is warm and usually pretty calm during summer mornings.

Speaking of the ocean, Puerto Vallarta will host some competitions this year's for the Pan American Games, including men's and Women's Triathlon. On October 23, 2011, 70 athletes will gather in the Marine Terminal to start the swimming part of the race. Something that you will not want to miss!

Another great alternative to early morning walks is the power of yoga. When was the last time you did a headstand? Puerto Vallarta has become a mecca for lovers of yoga with some of the best yoga teachers and yoga studios found here in our beautiful paradise.

Any form of exercise you choose is great,  just remember there's no better time to start than the present.
