Thanks to her mom, Ewunike Akpan grew up with physical activity at the center of her childhood. It wasn’t until she decided to participate in the 1999 AIDS Ride from Raleigh, N.C., to Washington, D.C., however, that she considered fitness as a career path. After forming training programs for herself and her co-workers at the time, she decided to pursue an ACE Certification.

A quick all bodyweight workout that doesn’t require much time or space. This workout can be done at home, at your gym or while traveling. All you need is a cleared space for you to come down onto the floor and some enthusiasm to work out as intensely as you can for 10 minutes. So, turn on some good music and have fun!

Hi, it’s Ewunike with LOTUS Fitness. I wanted to take a minute to share with you why I decided to offer the LOTUS Fitness Retreats in Costa Rica. Here’s a quick video of my trip when I stepped out on faith and visited @Amy Khoo in Playa Pavones de Costa Rica in 2010. That transformational experience compelled me to create retreats in Costa Rica and invite you to join me.

Ewunike Akpan, owner and founder of LOTUS Fitness talks about how she developed her passion for adventure, fitness and travel into the LOTUS Fitness Adventure Retreat business. She offers suggestions for anyone considering participating in a fitness retreat and importing things to consider before going.

LOTUS Fitness LLC. offers uniquely curated fitness & wellness retreats in different locations throughout Costa Rica. The retreats activities include: surfing, hiking, zipling, snorkeling. Wellness practices include yoga, meditation, spa treatments, and learning about ayurvedic medicinal herbs.

This workout plan combines 10 body weight exercises that anyone, of any exercise experience or fitness level can do. Different variations and intensity of each exercise is demonstrated. No equipment is necessary. The exercises can be done inside or outside. Do them in any order and combination based on your available time and desired variety.
