Sample Workouts at a Weight Loss Thailand Retreat

About the Workouts at a Weight Loss Thailand Retreat

The workouts at a weight loss Thailand retreat are no joke. My first few days at Lamai Fitness, I was fighting back tears during Every. Single. Workout. And after the workout, I could physically not get off the floor of my room because I was so exhausted, and everything hurt so badly. My first day at Lamai was particularly bad.

The basic day, Monday through Friday, consisted of three workouts a day: a cardio session, a yoga and stretch session, and a weights session. On Saturdays, there was a weights session and a yoga session, and we were encouraged to do some kind of light cardio on our own. Sunday was a day of rest. Which I usually spent exploring different parts of the island.

All together I lost about 15-16 pounds in three weeks at Lamai (or around 7 kilos) and lost another 15 pounds when I got back to the states in the next month. The workouts that I followed to accomplish 31 pounds of weight loss in 6 weeks were very intense. But, I believe that when you see fast results, you’re more motivated to keep going.

I recorded several days of workouts when I was at Lamai. Below, I recorded one week of the workouts. If you’re headed to Lamai fitness, or want a few new workouts for your health journey to try at home or while traveling, here they are!

Tired, yet?

Man, just writing about all those workouts makes me tired. But you feel so good after!

The workouts at this weight loss Thailand retreat were extremely challenging, but also extremely rewarding. Through these workouts, I discovered the great power I have within myself, and how far I can push my body. If you’re interested in Lamai fitness, please click here.

I used to engage in so much negative self-talk, on a daily, nay, hourly basis. But, accomplishing something like a killer workout like the ones listed above, makes you powerful, confident, and completely changes your outlook on life.

If you’re still struggling with negative self-talk, and can’t make it to Lamai fitness, go to a local crossfit class. That’s the closest thing to the workouts at Lamai that I’ve been able to find. They’re hard, so hard. But, the people are encouraging, and at the end, you’ll be able to take on the world!

Whatever you decide to do, know that you have a deep power within you, waiting to be unleashed. Don’t you ever, ever forget that.
