One of the best cardio workouts in Grand Cayman is absolutely free: a brisk walk on Seven Mile Beach.  This pristine stretch of sand is one of the most famous beaches in the world, with good reason. Sugar white sand, azure water and non-stop sun make Seven Mile Beach ideal for a power walk. Unlike other Caribbean beaches, there are no vendors allowed on the beach, so visitors can stroll in peace. Walking is an excellent workout, burning 280 calories per hour for a 120 pound female walking at 4 miles per hour.

Bring your walking shoes when you visit beautiful Grand Cayman. Don’t forget to slather on the sunscreen before you head out for your power beach walk! It’s almost always sunny on Seven Mile Beach.

Up north, the brutal experience of shopping for a new swimsuit only happens once year. Down here in the tropics, bathing suit season never ends. The last time I braved the swimsuit sale at rack at TJ Maxx, I decided to hire a top notch personal trainer to tone things up for the next bikini.  

Sue Merren is well known in the Cayman Islands for her tremendous client success stories. Sue is an ACE-certified Personal Trainer and Stott Pilates certified instructor, and the owner of Innovative Fitness Pilates & Personal Training in Grand Cayman. 

First, Sue provided me with a detailed questionnaire that thoroughly explored my fitness goals. She met with me prior to our first training session to discuss her game plan with me. The actual training sessions were fantastic. Sue is motivating, knowledgeable, and extremely effective. After the initial soreness wore off, I started looking forward to the serious work out sessions.  

The bottom line after eight bi-weekly sessions? Personal training rocks! My body fat percentage dropped, my energy level increased, and I built solid muscle mass. My pants are a little looser around the waistline and my self esteem received a significant boost.  

To start your own personal transformation, treat yourself to personal training with Innovative Fitness.

Imagine a full moon, a deserted sandy Caribbean beach, and you and your honey on horseback. It’s easy to arrange in Grand Cayman with the help of Pampered Ponies. One of Cayman’s oldest and most popular beach excursions, Pampered Ponies has beautiful horses, professionally trained staff, and variety of riding options.

Choose from private rides, sunset rides or early morning rides. For early risers, the morning rides are ideal for those who long to ride down a deserted beach with endless miles of sand around you. The staff is friendly and the horses are gentle and well taken care of. The horses are trained western style but English saddles are available by request.

Keep in mind that horseback riding is a workout that builds muscle, improves coordination and helps with balance. Be warned that muscles you forgot you had will ache the day after your ride; hanging on and keeping balanced works quadriceps, calf and inner thigh muscles.
