Living A FairyTail

5 Reasons Why you Must Try a Wellness Retreat

I recently went to Fit Farm at Rock Springs, a pet-friendly property, for a few days. The location is 45 minutes away from Nashville in Castalian Springs, TN. It is an All-Inclusive weight loss-fitness retreat on an exclusive 200-acre resort near Nashville. There are five reasons why I feel you should try one out in your lifetime.

Reason 1: You are essential, and sometimes you need to disconnect and get away and focus on yourself. I think we often put our family and/or job before ourselves, and sometimes you need some “me” time to figure some things out for yourself. That could be working on a fitness routine or healthy eating habits; whatever it is, you should take that time for yourself to work on it.

Reason 2: Sometimes, you need a community of cheerleaders to encourage you to take the steps for a better healthy future, and you will receive that at Fit Farm. The staff is there to motivate you, cheer you on, and make sure you are pushing yourself to your true potential. In addition, the community you will meet will hopefully be your friends for life because these individuals are there with similar goals as you. I know I still keep in touch with those I met, and I am grateful for that.

Reason 3: Perhaps, all you need is some outdoor time to breathe in the fresh air, take some fantastic hikes, ride a bike, and play some sports you might have played as a kid. Studies have shown that spending time outdoors may lower blood pressure, elevate your Vitamin D levels and burn more calories. You will find so many peaceful spots all around Fit Farm. In the mornings, I enjoyed seeing the horses and feeding them carrots, and in the evenings, you would see the most beautiful sunsets. They also light a fire pit on certain days.

Reason 4: You will eat 3 healthy meals and 2 delicious snacks that you will miss once you leave, but the great thing about Fit Farm is that they don’t leave you without the tools to continue your wellness journey. They provide you with tons of recipes you can make at home to continue to make good choices for yourself. The other thing you will get is your resting metabolic rate which will help you understand how many calories you can have to lose weight, maintain or gain.

Reason 5:

You will leave with some SMART Goals that you can work on at home.
You will feel recharged & energized.
You will leave more motivated to continue to improve your body composition.

At the end of your journey there, you will be able to paint a rock with an inspirational thought or saying to leave a little piece of you behind. I feel that the experience you receive there, you will always have a fond memory of it. That is also the reason why people go back more than once.
