Is your body, soul and mind ready for the festival season???

Ahhh, summer – the season of glitter, good vibes, and grooving your way across sun-soaked festival fields. But if the only marathon you’ve run lately is a Netflix one, don’t worry. Getting “festival fit” isn’t about six-packs and kale (unless that’s your thing). It’s about building the kind of stamina that’ll keep you dancing, queuing, and sprinting for the front row all weekend long.

Here’s your fun, totally-not-boring guide to getting prepped for the season of muddy boots and magical moments:

1.Dance Like Everyone is Watching

Forget treadmills – start your fitness journey on the living room dancefloor. Put on your favorite festival playlist, shut the curtains (or don’t), and go full-body rave mode. Bonus points if you throw in a couple of dad-dance moves.

Goal: 15 minutes a day of pure, joyful movement.

2. Train for the Toilet Dash

Festival cardio = weaving through crowds when nature calls. Practice your agility with a few zig-zag runs around your garden furniture or flat mates. Or join a local bootcamp – they usually have cones and everything.

Goal: Improve your stamina with short bursts of movement. Sprint to the fridge during ad breaks.

3. Hydration, Baby!

We all know that one mate who forgets water and ends up sipping someone’s leftover cider. Don’t be that guy. Start building your hydration habit now so your body thanks you mid-field.

Goal: At least 2 litres of water a day (and maybe some coconut water for flair).

4.Build Booze Resilience (Responsibly!)

If you’re planning to enjoy the drinks tent, train smart. Practice the one-for-one rule: one drink, one water. And maybe trial your hangover cures now. Berocca, anyone?

Goal: Pace yourself. Festival fit means you make it to the final act.

5. Master the Backpack Shuffle

Your festival bag will feel light at 9am and like a brick by 4pm. Start wearing a small backpack on your daily walks. Fill it with nonsense – snacks, wet wipes, maybe a glitter cannon.

Goal: Build endurance with real-life festival gear.

6. Stretch it Out

That tent floor is less “memory foam” and more “bouncy castle deflated on concrete.” Start a little morning stretch or yoga routine now so you don’t wake up like a rusty lawn chair.

Goal: Flexibility now = happy dancing hips later.

7. Train Your Ears

Get those eardrums festival-ready by cranking up your playlists and test-driving your earplugs. No joke – save your hearing and still enjoy the bass drop.

Goal: Enjoy music and protect your future gig-going self.

 Final Tips:

• Break in your boots BEFORE day one.

• Practice your wristband selfie angle.

• Mentally prepare to lose your mates and find your soul instead.

Festival fitness isn’t about looking good – it’s about lasting the distance, soaking up the experience, and saying YES to every glitter-drenched moment. But remember, if marathon festivals are not your thing, we can help you design and host your very own bespoke festival experience that will provide you with all the joy of a festival, without the hassle!
