Changing the way you feel is one of the most joyous results of managing your weight. Our past participants, even the most sedentary, have told us that they started to feel better physically and mentally almost immediately after exercising here. Feeling good was a strong foundation for mastering their eating and stress, a skill they began to learn at Green Mountain. We believe it is vitally important to provide you with a variety of physical activity solutions that can be modified to accommodate all fitness levels. As with the nutritional element of our program, we will help you develop a personal fitness plan that’s enjoyable, do-able, and specifically designed for you and your situation back home. We know that the key to sustaining physical activity over a period of time is - quite simply - whether it’s accessible and fun! That’s why we offer many options to help you find what works for you. Whether it’s a morning walk with the Green Mountains of Vermont as a backdrop, aerobics, aquatics, tennis, cross-country skiing, strength training or any of the many activities we offer, we want you to discover the happiness of movement. To exercise your mind as well as your body, you’ll attend lectures on how much exercise is enough, the psychology and physiology of exercise, and the myths about exercise and activity in relation to metabolism are also program components. You also have the opportunity to meet with our credentialed fitness experts one-on-one. Specializing in intrinsic fitness and motivation, they can help you create a plan that works for your “best” days and your “worst” ones, too.
With exercise, I have begun to firm up and feel more flexibly as well. I’m much more confident in myself and my talents. I feel like and entirely different person! Wendy Lieberman, Therapist Glendale, IL
