We can all get lazy on our holidays and especially in a city where most don\u2019t drink the tap water unless they\u2019re unduly brave. Buy yourself a <strong>reusable water bottle<\/strong> (BPA free) and on the next trip to the supermarket purchase an eight liter bottle of water (yes, you will drink it all). They are super cheap at that size (about \u20ac1.50) so will save you money on buying a small bottle each time you work up a thirst, not to mention it\u2019s better for the environment as you\u2019re using less plastic! You\u2019ll get into the habit of filling it up and more importantly drinking it up in no time.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Booze_free_night\"><\/span>Booze free night<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Make a deal with yourself to have some <strong>alcohol free days<\/strong> on your trip. Give your system a break, let it rest and recuperate every couple of days. And when you do, throw in a session where you get the heart rate up! Take a big hike up to some monument, run along the beach or do a couple of sit ups and\/or push ups in your accommodation. You\u2019ll feel like a brand new wo\/man ready to hit the dance floor! Show them what you got.<br \/>\nNote: if you\u2019re not keen on drinking, how about <strong>cutting out sugar<\/strong> for a day or ensuring you have <strong>one salad every day<\/strong> during your stay? Think of your own challenge that will make you feel healthy and vital.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Workout_with_the_locals\"><\/span>Workout with the locals<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div id=\"attachment_70866\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-70866\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-70866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/womans-joggers-300x200.png\" alt=\"womans-joggers\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-70866\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Visualhunt<\/p><\/div>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Barcelona is a great place to <strong>keep fit<\/strong>. Head to the beach towards the end of the day and you\u2019ll see the post-work crowd engaged in various <strong>outdoor activities<\/strong>. From <strong>wind surfing<\/strong> to <strong>jogging<\/strong>, outdoor <strong>yoga classes<\/strong>, <strong>volleyball<\/strong> or brisk strolling with a dose of gossip. There\u2019s a nice pace to the beach towards dusk. For all you gym rats keen for a strength training session, hit this street workout park &#8211; when it\u2019s full of locals it has a touch of Venice Beach about it.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: none;\"\n    class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-valign-bottom kksr-align-left \"\n    data-id=\"70228\"\n    data-slug=\"\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 25px; height: 25px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n    <div class=\"kksr-legend\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate us!<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you in Barcelona for a week or a weekend?
