How Long Does it Take to Change Healthy Living Habits...

...and how long does it take to get results with health, wellness and performance behaviour changes?

The short answer is, it depends how much of a priority billing you give to your wellness changes, and how effective and consistent your actions are.

How to ensure quick and lasting wellness results
We see plenty of evidence that with the right information and motivation, individuals and groups can achieve fantastic results in a very short time.  We also know that with appropriate support, these changes will be long lasting. 

To illustrate this, here are a couple of examples:

1) Wellbeing results can be quick
One group we worked with recently was attending a 4-week leadership programme, during which we delivered a selection of wellness modules.  We assessed various wellness KPIs at the beginning of the programme and again after 3-weeks.  During this short time the progress of the group was incredible.  They attended a selection of wellness presentations and activity sessions with the result that:

• 38% lost weight

• 49% lowered their Resting Heart Rate

• 42% reduced body fat

• 62% lowered Blood Pressure

Which proves that new habits can begin paying dividends almost immediately.

2) Wellbeing results can be lasting
On another programme we worked with participants during a leadership programme made up of two weeks in May and then two weeks in September.  Over the period from the start to the finish of the programme, participants remained focused on their wellness (with a little help from us and a selection of healthy living workshops, workouts and coaching) which meant that by the end of 4-months:

• 67% lost weight

• 61% lowered their Resting Heart Rate

• 53% reduced body fat

• 37% lowered Blood Pressure

The exciting thing here is that participants felt they'd made changes that would continue to pay dividends for a long time to come.  Their new decisions and actions had become habits and routines that were easy to follow and would stick.

We've complied a summary of the key changes made by these participants and the 5-step process they employed that led to these amazing results.  For a copy of this information simply email us at info@the-tonic.com and copy 'Quick wellness results' into the subject line of your message.
