Don't even think of sitting around doing nothing at this Bali resort

For many people, a beach holiday means a whole lot of sitting around doing nothing.

At the Westin Resort Nusa Dua in Bali, that is actively discouraged. 

The hotel says it is "renowned for its holistic approach to wellness and rejuvenation" and "proudly introduces its newest innovation for fitness enthusiasts: Westin Beach Workout, a unique, eco-friendly fitness space crafted entirely from natural wood and set against the stunning backdrop of Bali's pristine coastline".

"At The Westin Resort Nusa Dua, Bali, wellness extends beyond just physical fitness - it's a way of life," says resort GM Sander Looijen.

"Our Beach Workout is literally a dream come true. Blending seamlessly with the natural beauty of the beachfront, it offers guests the invigorating experience of working out to the soothing sound of the waves and ocean breeze. 

"With top-notch, sustainable equipment and breath-taking views, it's the perfect place to energize, unwind, and embrace the island's spirit."

I assume it is still OK to sit by the pool with a cocktail in hand. I'm feeling exhausted just thinking about all this sweaty business. 

For those who are suitably enthused, the fitness facilities are available from 7am-7pm daily with wooden bench press, leg press with squats, a fill range of wooden dumbbells and weight plates, kettlebells, TRX suspension training equipment, flipping type, hanging bars and stick wall climbers and exercise balls.
