So I&#8217;m browsing today&#8217;s programme in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tui-blue.com\/app.html\">BLUE App<\/a> on my smartphone and opting for the BLUEf!t Camp Special. The meeting point is the BLUEf!t Park. I throw on my workout clothes and I&#8217;m off.<\/p>\n<p>Normally the BLUEf!t Camp takes place with the <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/en\/synrgy-bluesky-training-system\/\">SYNRGY BlueSky training system<\/a>. The outdoor training device allows specific, individual muscles to be intensively trained with or without aids. Today, however, it&#8217;s a BLUEf!t Camp Special. What does that mean? I&#8217;m excited and waiting for the trainer, the BLUEf!t Guide. And here he comes. &#8220;Hi, I&#8217;m Seyfi, and we&#8217;ll be doing the BLUEf!t Camp Special together today. &#8216;Special&#8217; means that we&#8217;ll do an intense workout on the beach,&#8221; says Seyfi, our BLUEf!t trainer today. How cool is that!?<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24519\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24519\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24519 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Synrgy1.jpg\" alt=\"BLUEf!t Camp Seyfi fitness tracker training system\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Synrgy1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Synrgy1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Synrgy1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Synrgy1-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Synrgy1-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Synrgy1-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Synrgy1-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24519\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The meeting place: BLUEf!t Park.

The watch measures the pulse and heart rate. It&#8217;s incredibly interesting to watch your own heart rate as you exercise &#8211; it increases when I work harder and drops again when I slow down. It also measures calories burned, which is motivation to go twice as hard &#8211; dinner is waiting for me. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24523\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24523\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24523 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Uhr1.jpg\" alt=\"Fitness tracker polar 99 pulse\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Uhr1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Uhr1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Uhr1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Uhr1-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Uhr1-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Uhr1-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-Uhr1-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24523\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The fitness tracker from POLAR: With a pulse of 99, my heart is already working \ud83d\ude09<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And here we go towards the beach. Once there, we take off our sports shoes &#8211; logically, because in loose sand it&#8217;s better to do a workout barefoot. Together, we head towards the sea. &#8220;So, first we warm up for 5-7 minutes &#8211; follow me!&#8221; Seyfi shouts and starts straight away. Phew, I notice my heart rate climbing and climbing. Of course, the sand is much softer than normal soil and yields much more, making it harder to run. Whatever, I take a deep breath. The fresh Turkish ocean breeze gives me new strength! Let&#8217;s go!<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Jump_Run_Build_Muscle_%E2%80%93_The_Ultimate_Workout\"><\/span>Jump, Run, Build Muscle &#8211; The Ultimate Workout<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Back at our starting point, we stop and stand in a semicircle around Seyfi. We stretch briefly to get started right. The system is simple: Seyfi does an exercise, we follow his example. Here we go: I bend my knees, do squats, lunges, burpees, and push-ups. Phew, I&#8217;m really sweating. The workout is a mix of cardio and strength exercises, which gets the heart pumping. We run up and down the beach, always in short units back and forth. Side-shuffling, back-pedalling, or short sprints. In between, we stop. &#8220;And now down in the push-up position.&#8221; calls Sam. My hands are so sandy. Ah, what am I saying? My whole body looks like I rolled in the sand. But anyway, that&#8217;s really a minor matter.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24553\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24553\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24555 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blue-fit-U\u0308bung.jpg\" alt=\"BLUEf!t Camp Special workout trainer \" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blue-fit-U\u0308bung.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blue-fit-U\u0308bung-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blue-fit-U\u0308bung-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blue-fit-U\u0308bung-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blue-fit-U\u0308bung-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blue-fit-U\u0308bung-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Blue-fit-U\u0308bung-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24553\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">BLUEf!t Camp Special in the sun at the beach of Sarigerme.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I hear Seyfi call out: &#8220;Sprint, this is the last exercise!&#8221; That motivates me. I give it everything I&#8217;ve got and try to go faster. &#8220;Three, two, one, stop!&#8221; It&#8217;s done! Completely spent and covered with sand, I get up. It was great and the feeling of such a workout is just awesome!<br \/>\nFinally, we stretch all the stressed muscles and breathe deeply again. A look at the fitness tracker: 600 burned calories. I&#8217;m thrilled! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>Now Sam has a little surprise for us. We go to the Purple Turtle Bar and get a drink mixed with apple juice, apple cider vinegar, honey, and water. This should help boost the fat burning after the workout. I try the first sip &#8211; it takes a little getting used to. But the more I drink, the better it tastes. Refreshing and sour!<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_24507\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-24507\" style=\"width: 1000px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-24507 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-drink1.jpg\" alt=\"BLUEf!t Camp Special drink\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-drink1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-drink1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-drink1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-drink1-570x570.jpg 570w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-drink1-500x500.jpg 500w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-drink1-700x700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/blog.tui-blue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Foto-drink1-240x240.jpg 240w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-24507\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The fitness tracker from POLAR: With a pulse of 99 my heart is already working ?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"tuiblue_%E2%80%93_BLUEft_Camp_Done\"><\/span>#tuiblue &#8211; BLUEf!t Camp Done!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before all the participants get back to their holiday, we take another picture.
