Our new touring style is being offered and has three new aspects.
The idea of developing this new style of tour to address the physical side of the itinerary/experience came about as Gools and Thommo were slowly emerging from Covid with fitness levels that had been eroded away during the pandemic. Our energy levels felt lower, our waistline felt larger and our need for an Adventure felt way overdue.
At 55 years of age, we realised that our bodies just aren’t what they used to be. Thommo has for years carried a badly injured ankle which restricts his movement and activity. Now his knee seems to be causing concern as well. Gools on the other hand has always complained about her worn-out knees from her years of playing high level netball. Our joints are slowly deteriorating, and we could use that as an excuse to do less OR we can take this opportunity to get ourselves ‘Back ONTRACK’ and do more.
Surely improving our diet and losing some weight would take the pressure off our joints and ease some pain?
Less pain equals more mobility and therefore more ability to exercise so there the fitness cycle begins. How often have we all made a resolution to lose weight and get fitter only to find that the enthusiasm wains as our busy lives get in the way? So, if we have a goal to aim for and if that aim includes some great travel adventures than sign us up!
These new tours will personally give us and our clubbers the necessary motivation to plan our exercise regime to get ‘Back ONTRACK’ and ‘stay on track’.
The logical way for us to do this, was to invest in a new idea and develop some different itineraries for our Travel Club. Sticking with some of our favourite countries we have come up with a plan to add the requirement of a slightly higher level of fitness which will always be optional. These itineraries will be more active than those that have previously been offered by the club but still suitable for many Clubbers.
