Stay fit and feeling and looking great on your island vacation with the Mansion House Inn Health Club and Spa
By Diane Alter
It’s easy to let your fitness workout slide while on vacation. After all, vacations are all about taking a break from normal routines. But staying fit while visiting the Vineyard can be more fun than keeping in shape at home. Here on the island you can change your routine and challenge yourself with different routines in a different environment.
To be sure, physical activity is an integral part of your health and well-being. So it is important to exercise during your vacation.
While the Vineyard offers a plethora of outdoor activities, sometimes the weather just doesn’t cooperate. And as any dedicated gym rat knows, it can be difficult to get in a good workout while taking in the island’s spectacular scenery or with kids in tow.
