Wellness at Viva Dominicus

The new EcoWellness Program at Viva Wyndham Dominicus in La Romana is getting good reviews. A report in a New York newspaper praises that an all-inclusive resort offer directed exercise inside and outside of the pool and a separate healthy food station at a low additional cost. “You can have your vacation, and eat well and exercise, too,” says writer Charlene Peters of the GateHouse News Service.

The review concludes that “you’ll leave your vacation with less carry-on baggage in your tummy. No fried plantains here, nor bread or dessert, but lots of fresh vegetables, steamed vegetables and proteins that are rationed out by use of a specially-designed plate that illustrates where and how much of the plate is designated for raw, cooked vegetables and protein. You’ll be satiated, for sure, but on sauteed white fish, calamari, broccoli, carrots and salad – all deliciously prepared.”

At the start of the program, participants are given a fat percentage and weight evaluation program, and then Boot Camp begins. There are exercise programs in the morning and afternoon. The second one is held in the pool.
