Visiting a Health Day Farm Can Help with Stress and Weight Management

After suffering a bout of stress and being considerably over weight, I decided to join an aerobics class. I continued with this each week and soon found I felt much better.

A couple of months later, my aerobics teacher made an announcement that there would be an outing to a Health Farm for Christmas. Instead of being entertained at a restaurant, we would be beautifully pampered and spoiled for a day.

A full day was going to cost around £85. I was going to have a body massage, facial massage using essential oils, manicure and pedicure with leg and foot massage and unlimited use of all facilities.

The free daily programme of various health activities were, also, a bonus, which I found extremely enjoyable. They gave the freedom of doing exactly what you wanted, such as; aerobics, step aerobics, dance, yoga, water aerobics, stretching, tummy exercises, line dancing and country walks. The facilities were excellent. You had the choice of either using the sauna or steam room, or relaxing in a whirlpool. There is, also, a swimming pool and an excellent gym that has a brilliant variety of exercising equipment.

Also, included in this price, was tea or coffee in the morning, a three course buffet lunch, and afternoon tea. The food was healthy with a variety of delicious menus. Carrot cake was one of their finest deserts and seemed to be popular to many of the guests.

We arrived early in the morning and were shown around. After being shown to our lockers and rest rooms, where we were able to leave our belongings and change, we were taken to the restaurant to have coffee or tea. Whilst there, we were given a time table of all activities and were told to make appointments for treatments as soon as we were finished.

There are other extras such as, a hairdresser salon, leg waxing, sun beds and head massages etc. We were told that we would have to book these in the morning and then pay for them afterwards, as they are not included in the overall price.
