Nutrition
training is not enough. Baseline2baseline students are typically very interested
in food, and they need to redirect that interest to foods that they will love,
but that will also love them back.
As a
result, Baseline2baseline students learn to make the very low-fat, low
calorie-density foods we eat at our Programs. Along the way, they also learn a
lot about food, spices, flavors and cooking techniques.
The first semester the
culinary training program covers the following areas:
|
|

Poultry, lean meats,
fish, fruits, vegetables, herbs/spices |

Time |
Over

meals, typically for Baseline2baseline special events. Alumni typically
return home and take a leading role in preparing food for the entire
family. |

Activity management
Most students entering Baseline2baseline Programs have been living a
sedentary lifestyle – a lifestyle made easy and alluring by the
conveniences of the modern world. As a result, in order to adopt an
active lifestyle, students require structure, encouragement, and a very
supportive environment.

Baseline2baseline provides all of these in addition to athletic and
recreational facilities. Residential and recreational staff members are
sensitive to the physical limitations of the new students. Together,
they work to design activities and exercises that students will find fun
and invigorating.
The
leaders in this process are the Activities Coordinator and Personal
Trainer. Both work with new students to develop a realistic and fun
activity plan that will allow him or her to achieve their activity
goals. One such goal is 10,000 steps per day (as measured on a
pedometer). Most students find they often exceed 20,000 steps per day
(approximately 10 miles of walking).

All
students have at least two extended periods of activity on weekdays, and
weekends are scheduled with activities from the time students wake up
until the end of the day. Students are encouraged to select activities
they enjoy, and that they realistically will be able to continue after
transitioning home.
There
are always activities at Baseline2baseline to keep students moving.
Whether a scheduled activity such as water aerobics in the swimming
pool, a pick-up game of soccer, a trip to the cardio room with a friend
to watch a favorite TV show while on the treadmill, or a canoe trip,
students adopt active lifestyles that will stay with them for life.

Time
spent watching television, movies or on computers is supervised and
limited, except in the fitness center when students are permitted to
watch television while using cardio equipment.
Approximately one month prior to transition, students begin working on
an intensive project with the Activities Coordinator to plan their
activity program at home. Students work with the Activities Coordinator
to research local activity resources, and then develop detailed plans
for maintaining their current activity level on weekdays and weekends.
