WILD WISHES

EUPHORIA!

 

Ever wondered why you feel fantastic after a Trek Training session? Well, it’s not just because you’ve relieved your exercise guilt; it’s because your body has released endorphins!

I’m often on such a high after Trek Training that people think I’m on drugs!  This elated feeling, which can last up to 12 hours in some people, has a scientific explanation. "Endorphins are neurotransmitters produced in the brain that reduce pain. They have also been known to induce euphoria." says Dr Alan Hirsch, expert in neurology.

The top ten ways to release endorphins without drugs are: exercise, positive thinking, fear, laughter, chocolate, a moving experience, sun, chilli, sex and acupuncture. And, you will often experience six of the top ten during a Trek Training session! (Seven if you’re training for Coastrek in the sun!)

It is universally agreed that exercise enhances mood, and can prevent depression. However, the degree of endorphin factor from exercise depends on the intensity and duration, which is another reason why Trek Training is a winner in this regard.

Our three hour sessions are designed to ensure that you get fit, focus on positive thoughts, experience some healthy fear, laugh, eat chocolate, share a magic moment in an exquisite location and have fun!

Picture the classic Trek Training workout: We walk along bush and coastal tracks, seeking out physical challenges such as hills and stairs, carrying back packs. This is guaranteed to give you a high intensity workout. We often take you along rocks or challenging bush scrambles, which causes you to experience a degree of fear and we encourage you to think positively; there is ALWAYS chocolate  and laughter; and our locations are designed to include the most stunning views. So, get to training & get happy!
