1. Walking: it’s an amazing remedy for so many ailments and really you need no particular sports aptitude to do this. The basic thing is to opt for running (or at least walking) shoes and comfy clothes while you go sightseeing or exploring instead of go the easy (expensive) way, by car or cab.

4. Water sports/ mountain sports: no matter your destination of choice, if you are a bit into sports, there are ways to find activities to keep you entertained and in shape. If you are vacationing someplace at the seaside, the choice is great: Surfing, swimming, beach volleyball, scuba diving and many others. But this does not mean a trip to the mountains is in any way less interesting; you can bike, hike or walk all you want in the crisp clean air!
