Achieve your weight loss goals with exercise
Most people will not be able to lose weight with diet alone. Weight loss is about creating a calorie deficit within the body, meaning you burn more calories than you consume, and we cannot refrain from eating altogether as we need vital minerals and nutrients, as well as calories, to function. Here you will find information about some of the most popular exercise methods for weight loss as well as where and how to find the motivation to finally go for it!
Factors for success in losing weight with sports
Weight loss with exercise and diet
Studies show that even sports alone are not enough to have long-term success in losing weight. The right diet plays an important role, so that the metabolism is stimulated again.
If we increase the energy and calorie consumption and in the body the above-mentioned calorie deficit arises, the body falls back on its fat reserves and one decreases.
Sometimes, however, the body also feeds on muscle mass, and unlike fat, we naturally want to keep it. Because in the long run we need the muscles to continue to burn fat. Therefore, the right diet with a lot of protein is important to maintain muscle mass. So if you want to lose weight in a healthy way, a combination of dietary changes and more exercise is the ideal solution.
Fun with sports and losing weight
Everyone has that friend who makes exercise seem effortless and, for those who aren’t keen on dredging up a sweat, have somehow found the fun in a regular workout routine! If only it were that easy: losing weight while having fun. But it can be! Usually finding an exercise routine to help you lose weight is all about finding an activity that you find enjoyable, and there are so many to choose from. Get to know some of our most sought after exercise programs and start your weight loss journey today!
Lose weight with sports on vacation
Our weight loss hotels not only offer great programs, but also a variety of activities and exercise routines for you to try. When you want to start a new exercise routine, the hardest part is often choosing the right sport and sticking with it. Many people opt for a weight loss vacation to discover new workouts and routines while getting advice and guidance from professional trainers. Staying at our hotels is also the perfect starting point for making the switch to a healthier diet. Together with others, you'll find it easier to start exercising and eating complementary healthy foods, and at the end of your vacation you'll still often get tips or even a workout plan to take home. Whether you want to improve your skills or simply discover something new, we have the right hotel for you!
Even when the motivation to lose weight is there, it's often difficult to find the right inspiration to really get up and get started. For those who need an extra dose of motivation, perhaps a personal trainer can help, or working out with others.
1.) Find the right type of coaching
Perhaps the most iconic way to find motivation, is getting somebody to push you to exercise. The personal trainers at our hotels have helped so many guests discover exercise routines that have helped them lose weight. Personal trainers will not only help motivate you to go that extra mile when you think you no longer can, but also tailor workout plans to your personal goals, limitations, experience, and what you enjoy doing! They will help point out your success, showing you how much you can progress when you apply yourself. This is a great choice for weight loss with exercise for beginners, as these experts will give you lots of great pointers!
This takes personal training into a group dynamic. Where personal training can sometimes feel a bit lonely, here you have others who are going through the exact same thing as you are and also have the same goals. You will be able to motivate each other and exercise together as well as be able to find support in one another when you feel daunted. The programs tend to be grueling but promise results, in a strict yet beautiful environment. Set yourself up for success and change your mindset by trying a boot camp program. The programs are filled with numerous weight loss sports so that you can try them all!
2) Find the right hotel
Yoga is a mind-body-discipline, looking to help improve not only your connection to your physical self, but your spiritual self as well. Experts make yoga look graceful and easy, however, it requires a lot of body control. This is not only a great way to burn some calories, but you also work on your flexibility and inner peace. Anybody who has a strenuous, high-paced lifestyle and wants to combine de-stressing with weight loss would benefit from learning and practicing yoga. Learn traditional yoga poses from professionally trained teachers and masters and discover the art of zen weight loss.
What better incentive to take part in an exhausting workout than to get a massage afterwards? Say goodbye to those aching muscles with a relaxing full body massage or simply reward yourself with some beauty treatments. Many wellness hotels offer professional courses for all levels of fitness. Explore the most popular programs below as some of the weight loss sports trends.
3.) Find the right fitness course
Pilates requires movement and breath control, much like yoga. It’s great for practicing postural alignment, relaxation, body control and of course burning calories. Our hotels have offer courses for both Pilates pros and beginners. If you’re looking to strengthen your core as well as gain some flexibility check out a Pilates program!
Perhaps one of the most iconic weight loss sports and timeless group workouts to lose weight and get your heart pumping. Whether you’re looking to try out some classics or try out low-impact water aerobics, there is a class for everyone! Some hotels even offer specialized courses in Thai boxing or tennis, if you’d like to try something new.
If indoor courses aren’t your thing, try exploring the beautiful outdoors with guided walks and hikes. Beginner’s trails are great if you’re just starting out or if you need to stick to low impact workouts. If you're adventurous or more experienced, why not challenge yourself to the tougher trails. Hotels offer guides to groups so that you’re sure not to miss a thing while out exploring.
This iconic holiday activity is a fantastic way to lose weight, as it relieves joints of any added pressure while giving you added resistance to burn some extra calories. It’s perfect for anyone looking for a low-impact workout that is gentle on the knees and body. Many hotels even offer aqua aerobics.
4) Find the right destination for a sports and weight loss vacation.

After a workout or a long Nordic Walk, you can relax in the hotel's sauna and sweat out all the toxins to thoroughly cleanse your body.

FAQ - Weight loss with exercise
Exercise and weight loss - When do you see results?
The course of losing weight is very individual and depends on many different factors, for example how often and with what intensity you do your training and how efficient your body is. It can often take up to 12 weeks before the first visible results to become apparent.
Is exercise or diet more important when losing weight?
For long-term success, a combination of sports or regular exercise as well as a healthy diet is important. To burn fat and lose weight, you need to consume more calories than you eat. However, to maintain muscle, you should also exercise regularly, for example 3 times a week. Muscles are important because they burn more energy than fat tissue, even at rest, so that the base metabolic rate is increased. Although weight loss with exercise only is possible, maintaining unhealthy eating habits will nullify all of your efforts and lead you more prone to
How can I lose weight with exercise?
Through sports and exercise in general, you burn calories. The best way to find out which sport is right for you is to try it out. Whether it's yoga, Pilates, jogging or strength training, it's important that the sport is fun and doesn't overwhelm you. Depending on your state of health and initial weight, you can, for example, start with walking or do light strength training to build up your muscles. After a while, you can then start endurance training. When it comes to endurance sports, it is advisable to first choose less intense forms of exercise that you can do for a longer period of time. The longer you can be physically active, the more calories you will also burn.
How long does it take to lose weight with exercise?
This cannot be said in such general terms, as losing weight is a very individual process that depends on various factors. Many naturally wish to lose weight as quickly as possible, for example 5 kilos in one week or 10 kilos in 2 weeks. Preferably without any sports at all and also without any change in diet. However, do not set your goals too high. Losing weight takes time and a slow change is also healthier. In our hotels you get the right start help and many of our customers are very satisfied with your results after the weight loss vacation or retreats.
Lose weight without sports - is it possible?
If you cannot or are not allowed to do a sports program to lose weight for health reasons, our fasting retreats and different offers for diets could be the right thing for you. However, losing weight will not be successful in the long run completely without exercise. Even when fasting, light exercise, such as walks, is part of the program.
