Fitness travel is thankfully a trend that\u2019s here to stay \u2013 and in Sydney there\u2019s no better season to try it than in summer. This harbour-side metropolis is up there with the best and most beautiful cities in the world, so I decided to explore all the things to do in Sydney<\/a> that would let me work up a sweat and sight-see at the same time.<\/p>\n

Yoga by the Sea<\/h2>\n

Like many locals and tourists, the first stop on my weekend of fitness was Bondi Beach<\/a>. I saved the swim for later, and instead booked in for a spot of yoga. After a long week of training and working, I really needed a good, deep stretch \u2013 that\u2019s where\u202f Yoga by the Sea<\/a> comes in. Set on a platform atop the famous Bondi Icebergs<\/a> complex, these yoga classes have one of the best views in the world. You stare straight out at a spectacular view of the ocean, and can take your relaxing breathing cues from the waves crashing into the rocks below. For an hour and a half you\u2019re out in the elements, with the morning sun shining on your skin and the sea breeze doing its best to cool you down. Now, while I can sun worship with the best of them, a bit of slip, slop, slap is more than necessary if you\u2019re going to give yoga outdoors a go. At this location, water is BYO \u2013 but bringing your own mat is optional.<\/p>\n
