Nutrition At eXtreme Fitness Camps
With Emily Reilly
Emily takes a holistic approach to nutrition and fitness. Our nutritional requirements are only part of the picture. Holistic wellness is a means of living a healthy lifestyle that includes looking at the body as an entire system, and addressing its needs as a whole. A healthy body should be strong, flexible, resilient, pain-free, resistant to disease, and fun to live, work, and play in. Incorporating healthy nutrition means discovering the types of eating patterns that work for each individual, incorporates your specific dietary goals, takes into account how your work, life, family, and location affects how you get on the table.
So many of us rush through our lives and find it hard to take the time to really attend to how what we put in our bodies affects the rest of our health. Then one day we wake up feeling unhappy with what we see in the mirror, or even worse, we are told by a health care provider that we need to make some serious change. A visit with Extreme Hotel and our fitness camp can be the first big step towards health and wellness.
