Latest NewsMy Face My Body (September 24, 2009)The ultimate girlie holidayFancy a girlie holiday? Think carefully before you answer. Today, the ultimate girlie holiday no longer includes a bikini and sun cream but cycling shorts and muscle rub. Todays modern women are swapping a week in Malia or Ibiza for a healthy weight-loss camp in order to shape up, slim down, and leave feeling fit, healthy and reinvigorated. FitFarms, the UK’s number one sports-science weight-loss camp in Devon and the Peak District, has seen a steady increase in bookings this year as women sign-up to fight the flab. “From bingo wings to jelly bellies and muffin tops to cankles, every woman in the UK has a bit of their body they would like to change,” says Julie Brealy, health manager at FitFarms. “Times have changed and whereas women used to bond over a cosmopolitan in a hot country during the summer, more ladies are getting fit and having fun on the farm. FitFarms, encourage a wide range of activites, and therefore introduce people to a range of different sports and ways of keeping fit; from adventurous and exciting weight-loss activities including hiking and cycling, to alternative therapies such as Tai Chi and psychotherapy. Guests are also educated in healthy eating, with a range of workshops by former Daily Telgraph nutritionist Julia Fitzgerald, and meals cooked by French chef Mikael Perret. The average weight loss during the seven-day residential retreat is 8lb and 3oz but the record currently stands at 19lb 7oz.
