Sports and fitness fanatics who are seeking some winter wellness can train like an Olympian by signing up for Active Living Week with Amy Williams at Four Seasons Fairways in Portugal.
Williams, a gold medal winner in the skeleton for Team GB at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, will be hosting Active Living Week from 21-28 November 2021. She will lead stretch and mobility classes in the grounds of the luxury Algarve resort and hold HIIT, full body burn, core and abs sessions. Guests will also have the opportunity for a meet and greet with Williams, join her for a bike tour along the Ria Formosa and take to the water for a kayak safari. Activities can be tailored to suit all ages, levels and fitness abilities.
“I am so thrilled to be heading out to Four Seasons Fairways later this year,” she said. “There’s nothing like a change of scene and the feeling of sun on your skin to spur you on and 2021 it’s going to be all about prioritising time for yourself and also, most importantly your health.”
On the importance of maintaining fitness during the winter season, she added: “At this time of year, it’s always important to focus on keeping active. If you’re lacking motivation, finding someone to exercise with can be a great support. Sharing ideas, being able to help, push and encourage each other, knowing you’re not alone and being held accountable can make a big difference. Keeping active and getting fit can be about toning up and shifting weight but daily activity, no matter how basic, is so important for general wellbeing, a healthy heart and for good mental health.”
