Sample seaview training plans
Use these plug‑and‑play sessions to make the most of the Technogym equipment. Each plan fits easily around breakfast at Bagatelle, a beach day on Friendship Bay, or a sunset dinner at Blue Tropic.
20‑minute express cardio (fat‑burn and energy boost)
- 3 minutes: Easy warm‑up walk or pedal, increasing cadence gradually
- 12 minutes: Intervals (1 minute brisk, 1 minute easy) on treadmill, cross trainer, or bike
- 3 minutes: Cool‑down at a conversational pace
- 2 minutes: Calf, quad and hamstring stretches in the workout area
Why it works: Short intervals raise heart rate efficiently without overtaxing you on holiday, leaving time for a mid‑morning paddleboard.
40‑minute strength and conditioning (full‑body tone)
Perform 3 sets of each superset with 60 seconds rest between sets.
1) Superset A
- Goblet squat (dumbbell): 10–12 reps
- Incline push‑up (bench or rail): 10–12 reps
2) Superset B
- Single‑arm dumbbell row: 10–12 reps/side
- Reverse lunge (bodyweight or light dumbbells): 8–10 reps/side
3) Core finisher
- Plank: 30–45 seconds
- Dead bug (slow and controlled): 6–8 reps/side
Cool‑down with gentle mobility for hips and thoracic spine.
30‑minute mobility and core (travel reset)
- 5 minutes: Easy cycle or walk to warm up
- 15 minutes: Mobility flow—cat‑cow, world’s greatest stretch, hip flexor stretch, thoracic rotations
- 10 minutes: Core circuit—side plank (20–30 seconds/side), bird dog (8 reps/side), glute bridge (12–15 reps)
Tip: Schedule this session on arrival day to shake off flights and get ready for snorkeling or kayaking.
Pair your workout with island activities
Training on holiday is more motivating when it elevates the adventures you came for. Bequia Beach Hotel makes it seamless to cross‑train between gym and sea.
- Complimentary non‑motorised watersports: Use kayaks, paddleboards and snorkeling gear right on property. Your cardio intervals translate directly to steady paddling and longer reef explorations.
- Tennis and pickleball: Enjoy exclusive access to the court for agility, footwork and fun competition. Combine with a 20‑minute Technogym warm‑up for an all‑round session.
- Complimentary bicycles: Spin around the area for low‑impact sightseeing and active recovery between heavier gym days.
- Seawater infinity pool and two freshwater pools: Ideal for gentle laps or a cool‑down soak after strength work.
Pro tip: Think like an athlete—pair higher‑effort gym days with lighter water play, and vice versa, to keep energy balanced all week.
Recovery done right: Sauna, steam and spa
Great training is only complete with great recovery. On property, you can transition smoothly from workout to wind‑down.
- Sauna and steam room: Promote circulation and relaxation post‑training. Use after a brief cool‑down and rehydration.
- Spa treatments with ELEMIS: Choose from massage, facials and beauty treatments in three treatment rooms. Book at the Spa reception or via the main Reception team.
- Complimentary yoga (up to twice weekly): Held in a tranquil garden area just off the beach, it’s perfect for mobility, breathwork and resetting your nervous system between activities.
Add a few minutes of quiet in the garden or by the beachside pavilion to cap the ritual—your body will thank you tomorrow.
