WildFitness - Transformative fitness holidays

KEY FACT: CHILLING OUT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU CAN DO TO IMPROVE YOUR HEALTH

Intelligent exercise and nutritious eating are only part of the equation when it comes to overall wellbeing. Rest and recuperation is just as important for your health. In fact you will not benefit from exercising or eating well unless you rest and sleep well too - this is what gives you the results. So making sure you have more joy than stress in your life, learning some good coping mechanisms and getting enough sleep should be your number one priority for staying healthy. How you balance activity and eating with rest will dictate the health of your digestion, sexual system, immune system, how lean you are and ultimately your biological age.

At Wildfitness our priority is that you are in a relaxing environment with the balm of nature to take you away from your usual stressors, promoting calm and peace. This is also why the results people achieve on our Wildfitness holidays are so much more than simply the sum of the training and eating.

Some of the most important things to consider to help live more naturally and be chilled are:

Over-training – Training too much is a form of stress. We monitor carefully whether you are over-training on your holiday course so that you don’t move into burn out, and we make sure you have plenty of opportunity to recover from the training we do.

Sleep - If you are not sleeping well, your daily cortisol fluctuations need to be considered. Sometimes people have problems sleeping for the first few days in unfamiliar surroundings. For those who continue to have problems it could be due to over-training, low blood sugar or weak digestion. If you talk to us about your symptoms we can help find the right solution for you.

Breathing – Breathing is the major influence on your body’s physiological state of stress (the out breath promotes the parasympathetic i.e. rest / digest system, the in breath promotes the sympathetic system ie fight / flight). With us you will learn how to use breath to chill out and also to improve your physical performance. A great skill!

Being tribal – Bonding in a small group as we used to live in tribal groups is a very potent balm for emotional stress and good for deep peace.

Having fun – If you are having fun then your body is not in a state of anxiety! Simple!

Attitude – Maintaining focus and using your passion, purpose or drive to do this. Maintaining awareness while you train and eat is the ultimate route to wild living.
