Dispelling the Myths about Keeping Fit and Healthy at Sea

As Kevin Retief says in his article Fitness at Sea - Keeping Ship Shape on a Cruise , "In the old days, the cruise gym was a pokey little room in the bowels of the ship, there was no such thing as an on-board spa, healthy eating meant skipping dinner, and getting through the day without several cocktails under your belt was practically unheard of. Today, things are different."

Indeed they are.

Keeping fit and healthy on a cruise is no longer the chore it was many years ago, and in fact, better health on a cruise is part of the focus, and a large part of the fun of cruising today.

And if you're still a cynic about that, a brand new feature at Prow's Edge KEEPING FIT AND HEALTHY ON A CRUISE - A Healthy Cruise - It’s not a Myth gives some pointers on how to change your attitudes and see the fun of the healthy and fit options on board your next cruise.

Healthy alternatives at the dinner table are not limited to a plate of greens and a glass of water, the spa is not as elitist as you might think, the gym is not there to punish you, and active shore excursions can provide lots of healthy fun without you even realizing it.

The Prow's Edge Forum too offers comments and opinions from fellow travelers on all sorts of topics including health at sea.
