Even those with the strongest willpower in the world tend to relax and indulge in a few extra calories over the festive season, as mince pies, boxes of chocolates and general feasting ruin all but the strictest of diets. Then comes January, with its usual dose of good intentions and resolutions to get fit.<\/p>\n

Getting fit doesn’t have to be difficult and doesn’t have to mean crowding into a gym with dozens of other sweaty individuals. There are several fabulous alternatives and not all of them are restricted to the UK, as Marc Pritchard<\/strong>, Sales and Marketing Director for leading Spanish homebuilder Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a<\/a><\/strong>, explains,<\/p>\n

“Exercising and participating in sport should be an enjoyable experience. It’s something that we keep in mind with every development that we build. All of our sites have communal pools, for example, and with almost year-round sunshine in Spain, burning off calories with a few daily lengths during the winter months is definitely achievable.”<\/p>\n

Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a’s sites also benefit from access to a host of nautical sports, such as sailing, windsurfing and scuba diving, thanks to their carefully selected locations close to popular beaches and marinas. Many owners enjoy participating in such activities, which are a far cry from pounding away on a running machine in an over-crowded gym.<\/p>\n

Golf is another great way to get fit. A round of 18 holes involves a walk of between three and six miles, according to Live Healthy. Owners at La Floresta Sur<\/a> can benefit from access to El Soto Golf Club, which includes a gym and sauna as well as the course itself. Prices for two bedroom apartments there being at \u20ac178,000.<\/p>\n

Also on the Costa del Sol, Avalon<\/a> is a stunning new development at which prices are from \u20ac295,000 for a spacious, two bedroom apartment with high spec fixtures and fittings. Owners are treated to special prices at Los Arqueros Golf, including its gym, sauna and squash, tennis and paddle courts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Taylor Wimpey Espa\u00f1a’s Miraval<\/a> site, where apartments start at just \u20ac245,000, also enjoys special golf packages, being located by La Cala Golf Resort.<\/p>\n

A University of Bristol study conducted back in 2007 examined in detail the success rates of New Year’s resolutions by working with some 3,000 participants and tracking their progress against their goals. It found that, despite the participants’ initial confidence, some 88% of those who set New Year’s resolutions failed to achieve their goals. Perhaps the additional motivation of Spanish sunshine streaming down on them while they attempted to get fit might have been enough to turn some of those failures into success stories.<\/p>\n
