100% Mindset At The FitFarms Weight Loss Retreat

We have probably all heard the suggested lifestyle approach of 70% nutrition 30% exercise or that you can't out train a bad diet. Well what about the people who aren't ready for this particular philosophy yet? Those of us who have tried and tried then failed and failed, the number of us who have yo yo dieted, bought memberships to gyms they have never used, forked out for equipment that gathers dust or props up the washing pile. These people far out weigh those that think about how diet, mindset and exercise should be honed to achieve better results.

We get a complete spectrum of clients at our weight loss retreats, mostly looking for "that one thing" that will make it all fall into place; some are already enjoying exercise and healthy eating, some haven't even started. All of my adult life I have been a pt, and I have always worked with "the average client" not clubs, teams or athletes. If there is one thing I can say is a constant is that people think they need help with motivation.... when in reality they don't! The workshops our specialist team run on site focus on five parts to a progressive lifestyle and weight loss: mindset, nutrition, exercise, sustainability and relaxation.

The time and effort our typical client have put into diets or exercise plans before they come to see us just goes to show they have the motivation, just not the right direction. As a course this is what we focus on, no matter the clients goals, we can help make sense of both the changes they need to make and the changes they are able to make. Working together to apply mindset, exercise and nutrition into a plan for moving forward. It's true that a good diet is important to our health and our ability to exercise efficiently, it is also true for exercise but we cannot ignore the need to get our mind on board. If we allow a sense of achievement from what we do alongside a form of enjoyment, then it will create much more manageable and realistic goals!
