Up until the time I left home for university I played loads of sport and was rather skinny. From then until I was 25 I kept my slender figure, but was starting to feel the effects of spending too much time sitting at a desk in the form of neck and shoulder pain. From 25 to my early 30’s it was all down hill. I had put on a lot of weight, was in chronic pain and couldn’t even walk up a short steep hill without stopping for breath. Crunch time when my husband and I were watching Season 2 of The Biggest Loser. After watching this we made a conscious decision that we wanted to live a healthier life, so we booked ourselves in for a 7-day health retreat that changed our lives.
