This week we turned our focus to fitness now that they have been active for more than a month and starting to see changes in stamina, energy and endurance. Now is the time for them to learn more about the basics of fitness. I wanted them to understand how to safely progress in doing more aerobic exertion, add in stretching and strengthening, and make steady improvements without getting injured or derailed.
They are also doing really well in portion control by consistently eating when they are hungry and stopping when they are satisfied, with a few exceptions here and there. And from those exceptions, they are learning more about their individual subconscious triggers that sabotage their good intentions. As they keep finding out, they aren’t bad when they overeat or find themselves making unhealthy choices. Instead there are good reasons for these occurrences worth understanding, so they can create strategies to address them.

Contestants and the other 3 groups of participants will be shown how to make healthy choices that are satisfying, address mindset challenges, overcome sabotaging obstacles, stay motivated, and maintain lifestyle changes in order to sustain their goals for the long-term.
The program will not involve any extreme fitness activities or dietary changes. This is not a boot camp, and extreme changes in weight is not the goal. Instead this is a healthy lifestyle program that will lead to regular exercise, healthy eating and positive self care as a way of living, and with that, weight loss will occur naturally and safely so it can be sustained.
