Family bonding is a complex equation given how different people belonging to the same family can turn out to be- their preferences, their tastes and their opinions. But thank God for family holidays that are a great way to create and strengthen the different relationships within families. And what happens when you mingle the tradition of family getaways with the trend of athleisure? A plan that is a perfect fit (get it to get it?) for enhancing that filial bond.

Keep Fit While On Holidays

With the adaptation of athleisure into everyday life, not only people’s wardrobe game has changed, but also the overall lifestyle of the average common people is shifting towards something that incorporates and prioritizes fitness activities amidst day to day existence. And that includes vacationing as well. Going on a vacation and ruining the fitness level you worked so hard for all around the year is a thing of yesterday now. Athleisure holiday is what modern families are looking towards to get that much-needed relaxation without having to compromise on fitness.

Akash Korgaonkar, Founder Director of Ruggedian Lifestyle Pvt Ltd says, “These holidays help in developing a fitness culture within the family. They also bring about a healthy change in the thought process, like taking adequate rest, following healthy dietary habits etc. There comes in a welcome change from the mundane weekend outings like picnics, movies or shopping to destination marathons and sports events that boost fitness.”

When compared to normal holiday trips, where everyone is doing their own thing separately or are spending time locked up in the hotel room, athleisure holiday offers families a chance to spend time together all the while providing with the thrill of adventure. Activities like trekking, swimming, speed-boating, diving, rock climbing or other adventure sports not only give you the boost of anadrenaline rush but also bring the family together as often these activities emphasize on qualities like trust, co-dependence and helping each other out.

Let’s take a detailed look at how these activities can help in building a strong bond among family:

Perfect for a group of family and friends, trekking is a perfect way to explore the forests, the surrounding villages and picnic spots by the river. It’s a great option for both beginners and seasoned trekkers, who can give it who can give it a try in for Trek in the lap of rustic nature! To add to all of it, it also involves helping each other during the trek.
