With Hypnogogo you can go, go, go!

"Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone whispering soothing words of encouragement as you exercise instead of a militant personal trainer breathing down your neck?"

Well, no need to look any further as I’ve discovered just the venture to kick start your health and keep fit goals for the year and stay on track.

So let your mind help you reach your New Year weight loss goals with the latest release from the already successful Hypnogogo: Ultimate Fat Burner

Hypnogogo is a series of mind and body workouts, which combines running tips, positive thinking and affirmation to tap into the subconscious while you exercise.

And if you struggle to grasp the motivation for a run, then this tool will certainly make running more fun and even more powerful.I caught up with Claire Benson, the brainchild behind this new venture, to find out more, and find out for myself if this really was as good as it sounded.

“"Basically, Hypnogogo is a mind and body workout," explains Claire.

 "The thinking behind it was that someone signed me up to do a half marathon and I'd never run a footstep in my life.

“While I was training I realised just how boring running is.

“Also, I was trying to lose weight at the time, and I've always wanted to find time to listen to those fabulous, hypnotic weight loss CDs, but as a busy working mum I could never find half an hour at home to do it.

"One day I thought, 'Why don't I bring these two things together?' At the same time I was training as a hypnotherapist.

“I wanted to find a way to make all this marathon training as pleasurable as possible for myself so I drew on my hypnosis skills, my writing skills and my coaching skills which I use in my private practise, and put it all together to create Hypnogogo.

So what’s this new Hypnogogo: Ultimate Fat Burner all about?

Hypnogogo: Ultimate Fat Burner works on two levels.

It features creative visualisations that help you to increase your metabolism using your mind, while physically encouraging your body to move faster thus increasing it a second time.

It encourages you to see reducing your weight as fun and enjoyable and suggests a new way and playful way to use your willpower to best effect  

And so I decided to put it to the test.

Now, I’m quite a fan of running, but getting out for a run in this miserable weather is a challenge even for an enthusiast like me.So I braved the weather, and ventured out with my iPod. I didn’t even have time to think about how cold I was as I listened to the rhythms.They are totally ideal for jogging and the voiceover really does lull you into a gentle trance like state and lets you get fully immersed in the moment.

I truly felt that as I was about to experience long periods of drudgery, the inspiring voice lifted me through them into exhilaration.

I came home feeling energised, motivated and uplifted even more than I would normally after a run.

And what’s more I got the sense that I had received both a mental and physical workout. In my book whenever I get a two for one offer, I’m ecstatic!

So if you too want to try it for yourself, then get your copy of Hypnogogo: Ultimate Fat Burner from iTunes priced at (£10.99)
