Sedentary lifestyle

The physical activity is one of the most effective instruments for maintaining good health: an adult should do some gym at least two or three times a week for at least 30 minutes and children should have at least an hour of movement a day.

A regular physical activity is better than medicine: protects against cardiovascular pathologies, maintains efficient the muscular structure, stimulates the metabolism, strengthens the immune system, improves humour and unloads the accumulated tensions. Even the ancient Romans knew it! Sport is good not only for the physic but also the spirit. The cerebral secretion of serotonin (the hormone of happiness) increases significantly after 30 minutes of running or swimming.
In other words, the movement prevents diseases and prolongs life.

It's never too late to start and we do not need to commit ourselves in extreme sports: walking briskly increases cerebral blood supply by 20%, to get up the stairs or getting to work by bicycle increases the supply of oxygen to the body tissues . The best results are obtained, however, relying on a personal trainer who can formulate a personalized and safe training plan, through a mix of activities able to increase gradually and synergistically resistance to stress, the physical vigour and mobility.

In the Thermal Spas of the GB Thermae Hotels there are several proposals for those who want to dedicate themselves to the gentle movement or to physical activity. For a relaxing holiday, gymnastics and bathing in thermal water with reactivating whirlpools, choose the stay "Dolce Vita & Swimming pools". To improve joint mobility and muscle strength choose the program “Earth”. If you are fond of ayurveda then the Oriental Thermal Spa at the Hotel Metropole offers the program "Stress and energy rebalancing”. At the Abano Grand Hotel a sedentary person can enjoy a total “remise en forme” with the program “Anti-aging”. A natural therapy but absolutely innovative and effective is the homo-toxicology which will help you to "move better" with the “Program 3D” at the Hotel Due Torri.
