Sport is good. Perform Better! : un programme de remise en forme avec coach et accompagnement diététique. En sirotant un jus de fruits sur un canapé à la réception tandis que mes bagages s'évanouissaient en silence vers la suite qui m'avait été attribuée, je réfléchissais à l'opportunité, ou non, de suivre un tel programme… Arriving at Le Prince Maurice has focused my attention on the concept of Body Doctor: a program for a fitness coach and dietary guidance. Sipping a fruit drink on a sofa in reception while my luggage vanished silently into the following which I had been assigned, I pondered whether or not to follow such a program ...
When one chooses a destination based leisure activities, offering a hotel can be decisive. : on y vient pour faire retraite, pour se mettre à l'abri des turbulences extérieures, pour profiter d'une intimité de bon goût tout en s'assurant de prestations différentes et de qualité. You do not come by chance at the Prince Maurice, one of the legends of the hotel on the island, and affiliated Relais & Chateaux: people come to retreat, to shelter the external headwinds, to enjoy an intimate taste while ensuring quality and different benefits. And let my eyes wander over the vast pool overlooking the beach, I was more intrigued by this program Body Doctor by the beauty of the nearby golf undisputed ...
An hour later I went inside the spa and I shook hands with a handsome fellow, of those who are immediately want to throw you on the apparatus of torture that he has, one suspects easily, widely used to display such a build. An honest smile, a firm handshake, a look that tries not to weigh too openly, and your muscles tense already at the idea of the program he is now sharpening your attention ...
A young brunette with a perfectly preserved body already wade through an inclined treadmill. It just throws me a look, focused on the digital display, which marks its efforts. His breath is short but controlled his will causes beyond the usual greetings and I dare to smile so as not to distract!
Quickly Akim gives me quick tour of the two rooms of his kingdom in the first few machines gleam under the lights cleverly divided, a rower in the second threat, a vibrating and a sophisticated portal still leave enough space for spread a carpet of exercise or to travel on a huge ball of fun that has nothing.
As a preamble Akim offered me the bike. First surprise, it is not as uncomfortable as I grew and I feel almost relaxed even if both underwater dives performed in the morning I had not already taken off some energy ... I just report it the young athlete hoping he will take pity on my lack of training, my coach smiled amiably, seems to sympathize, and then tells me that in this case we start without much difficulty. I did not understand much about his explanation of the usefulness of the scoreboard that shines in my eyes, I retain a number or two: one for miles around drowned at each wheel and the virtual time passed close to me (from time) from the end of this little warm up lap ...
When I wonder if I will succeed even in Palmer the next day when the muscles of the thighs already crying scandal, Akim invites me into another room to test another instrument, the rower.
At first everyone knows what a rower, and I am no exception. But installing me on the narrow bench, listening to instructions from Akim on the proper use of my muscles, and seizing the handles that should allow me to get (forward) shoulders beautifully curved Demi Moore, I imagine for a moment that it is mainly my abs that will be solicited! And forth for three sets of different exercises, under the watchful eye of my coach intransigent position on the right foot, trunk, arms ...
I already curse my second dive of the morning, while still remembering the three sharks that approached almost to touch before spinning into the blue, and I grit my teeth.
After a few minutes Akim frees me and hands me a bottle of mineral water. Hardly time to breathe and here I am on a vibrating mat that amuses me more: their feet planted at equal distance, I watch the Zen garden in front of the huge bay window while the intense vibrations make me tremble from head to feet, and enough to make me laugh. Some different graduations, another year of application back to the ground and legs on the carpet, and I can hardly keep a straight face.
Here I am then ordered to do some twisting and stretching on a mat on the ground prepared for this purpose. Muscles tighten, stretch, back from widening, deepening breathing, and a few plays later with a metal pole and then the big ball reminds me that some muscles are less stressed than other Diving ...
Finally I present the portico Akim fitness and I wonder if it is well suited to my organization and my ambitions: I am not going to look like Schwarzenegger in his younger years and washers melt raises as Akim pancakes not inspire any enthusiasm!
We deal quickly between my abilities and my willingness and Akim regulates the density of a few cables before showing me the right moves: I grabbed the handles of the torture device and I began a series of twenty push-ups. Of the top five, no problem. Then the muscles are protesting and you really Akim encouragement for me not give up!
One hour of training was enough to make me think about the usefulness of a fitness program: to be honest, I was that I never entered a gym, reluctant to exercise compulsory and follower of sport when he does not that name! The diving and swimming, walking (in the sand on the beach ...) and hiking in the mountains are all that I agree to do without having the impression of having sacrificed to the dictates that I reject. While indoor sports ...
Yes but now, training in a room size, with a coach by his side takes on another dimension. If at first I felt a little ridiculous in the eyes sympathetic but firm young man, little little seriousness and kindness have been because of my restraint and I am surprised to give further consideration at this time dedicated to my well-being. And out of the room I was wondering if I did not enroll in another soon as I return to France! For that reason alone, he should thank Akim!
Along with the personal coaching you can be followed (e) by a nutritionist who will guide you in gastronomy. If the previous course is for those who want to find a silhouette, energy and tone, it is now indeed a healthy diet based on balanced meals or detoxifying, developed by Heads of Prince Maurits. Admit that a diet that combines fresh ingredients and spices from the kitchen and delicately scented resolutely creative can motivate even the most discerning! ...
On the menu the same evening I was offered a cold soup of pumpkin with ginger and palm salad as an appetizer, grilled fish salad with wild rice or brown rice with shrimps and vegetables. Considering that I earned enough, I would decide in favor of a delicious assortment of Indian dishes more suited to my appetite after so much effort ... Note that on restaurant menus Prince Maurice you will always find a flat within the part of a dietary monitoring, at your convenience.
When nutritionist and chefs at the stove all apply the result can be encouraging. … Whether you come to Prince Maurice to relax or get fit, you'll find here listening and attention that will make you leave with a host and purifying tonic if you've followed the advice and program Body Doctor ...
