Get Fit, Eat Right at Club Med Columbus Isle

I often think about taking a solo vacation to an exotic destination and using the time to jump-start my fitness routine, so I'm personally pretty excited about the Club Med Diet program at the Club Med Columbus Isle.

At no extra cost, guests at the Bahamas out-island resort will receive a welcome packet that includes a pedometer, recommended activities guide, a food and activities diary, healthy-eating suggestions and recipes from corporate chef Erik Peter. Best of all, Club Med's fitness trainers will design a custom workout for you for the length of your stay.

A seven-night, all-inclusive stay at Club Med Columbus Isle -- long enough to make some real progress with your workout plan -- starts at $1,400 per person. For more details, see the Club Med website or call 1-800-CLUBMED. You also will find more information and some sample recipes at the Club Med Diet blog.
