Health is a journey, not a destination — and every step counts, here at the AbanoRitz.
At the AbanoRitz, we believe that wellbeing is a path that starts with small everyday gestures.
Like a walk (the Euganean Hills, with their extraordinary network of trails, embrace the AbanoRitz),
a bike ride (64 km of cycling loop starting right from the AbanoRitz), or a stretching session in thermal water.
You don’t need to run marathons to take care of yourself: even half an hour a day can make a difference.
A recent meta-analysis of over 7 million people confirms it: those who practice regular aerobic activity have up to a 40% lower risk of premature death. The benefits come from consistency, not from exhaustion.
And the good news is — it’s never too late to start.
The heart is grateful, the body awakens
Even after the age of 60 or 70, starting to move regularly can improve quality of life.
A brisk walk, for example, can reduce the risk of mortality by as much as 30%.
Even better if combined with the relaxation of our thermal pools and regenerating treatments.
Gentle physical activity: our winning formula combines thermal protocols with muscle-strengthening therapies.
The thermal facilities inside the hotel, with their pools, are the perfect place to move with pleasure and without stress. Here, every movement is enhanced by the beneficial warmth of the water, the lightness of floating, and the pleasure of our many massage options.
Swimming, practicing gentle exercise in the Technogym-equipped fitness room, or cycling in the indoor semi-Olympic pool on a thermal water bike are excellent ways to reactivate metabolism, strengthen the heart, and boost your mood.
In addition, our wellness pathways and personalized programs are ideal for those living with chronic conditions or in recovery. It’s no coincidence that physical exercise is now considered a true “natural medicine,” effective even for oncology and diabetes patients.
Strengthening the body to protect it
As we age, it’s important to maintain muscle strength to prevent falls and preserve independence.
Just two weekly sessions of targeted exercises — even with light weights or simply bodyweight — can bring significant benefits.
All of this can be done safely with the guidance of our physiotherapists, personal trainers, and wellness specialists.
Consistency is the key. One of the strongest messages from scientific research is clear: the benefits of movement fade if you stop. That’s why it’s essential to find a style of activity that is sustainable, enjoyable, and accessible over time.
At the AbanoRitz, we help our guests rediscover the pleasure of moving naturally, respecting their own pace, in an environment that inspires both vitality and relaxation.
