Mountain Trek Fitness and Weight Loss Retreat has launched its new website, reflecting the companys commitment to the renewal of clients health, fitness and vitality. Mountain Treks spa vacation retreats offer guests a quick and effective kick start to a healthy lifestyle. In the course of a week, clients lose weight and boost their metabolism with a combination of yoga, daily hiking, high energy fitness classes, deep and restful sleep, and spa cuisine. Mountain Trek guarantees results, and have noted that women can lose between 4-6 pounds in a week, men can lose 8-10 pounds, depending on their condition when they arrive. Some clients have been able to recalibrate their blood pressure and manage their insulin levels differently after the retreat; cardiovascular fitness improves with the daily exercise and increased muscle density means that metabolism is activated for increased daily caloric burn. A longer stay is possible; multi-week commitments will result in greater physical changes and improved results.

A big contributor to weight gain is stress. Stress interferes with regular sleep patterns, and results in increased cortisol levels, two factors which can lead to poor eating habits and weight gain. Natural landscapes have been shown to have a positive effect on mental health, lowering cortisol, improving mood and subjective vitality. Mountain Treks retreat locations in the mountains of British Columbia and Baja California, both beautiful natural landscapes, combined with daily physical activity at a clients fitness edge mean that clients drop stress within a couple of days of arrival.

Making deep and lasting lifestyle changes is not easy. Being on retreat, having daily massages and freshly prepared food, makes it easy to lose weight. Changing habits and thinking patterns is essential to the long term success of any diet and exercise program. Daily lifestyle lectures at Mountain Trek help people rethink habits and create positive changes that result in permanent weight loss.

Some clients werent sure if they will be comfortable in the natural landscape. Nancy Mueller (who recently described herself as a city-slicker wanderboomer), wondered she would feel too isolated in the mountains, removed as it is from urban mania. Having experienced, first aid certified guides and travelling in small groups are a few ways people can feel at ease in the wilderness.

Being fit is a great way to feel confident in summer clothes but a commitment to lasting health takes care of more than appearances. People who are interested in weight loss retreats can check into ranked lists to help with the decision. Mountain Trek has recently been listed as one of the top 5 weight loss retreats, and has been cited by Spa Magazine (Winter 2012), and the Tatler (Spa Guide 2011) as a top choice for a boutique boot camp vacation. A vacation refreshes but a fitness retreat can send clients home with a new body, a new outlook and new potential for health and well-being.
