Swimming also keeps the joints flexible–especially the hips, neck, shoulders and limbs. Arnel will also explain the differences between the aquatic body enhancement phrases like “Catchup,” “Fist,” “Pull,” “SPL” and “Scull.”or Spa.

December 6
7AM-8:30AM Breakfast and “Watergate” Debate with Dr. James Harris and Steve Marmor Steve Marmor is a proponent of “ionized water,” who claims that proper health starts with the correct acid-alkaline balance in your body. The pH level (acid - alkaline measurement) of our internal fluids affects every cell in our bodies. Extended acid imbalances of any kind can overwhelm your body, and lead to health complications. Skeptics argue that “ionized water” is one of many products and panaceas that the water wellness industry flogs onto the large segment of the general public that lacks the scientific background to distinguish scientific fact from pseudoscientific hype when the two are closely intertwined. The purpose of this debate is to critically examine some of the claims about “ionized” and “alkaline” waters from the standpoint of modern chemistry and physiology in order to provide you with the information you need to make your own informed decision before opening your wallets to either these entrepreneurs whose claims may be lacking in scientific support, or to this handful of revolutionaries, who may have finally afforded us an opportunity to properly balance our pH levels, perhaps adding years to our lives. There will be a Q&A following the debate. 8:30AM-9:30AM Stretch-It-Out with Jeanette Jenkins “The Hollywood Trainer” (All Levels) Experience a total body static and dynamic stretching workout that is appropriate for all levels. This workout will help you lengthen your muscle fibers and improve your breath, while relaxing to calming music.

Also, Dr. Burton Goldberg, The Voice of Alternative Medicine, will be available throughout the day to discuss his critically acclaimed books, his enlightening philosophies, his conspiracy theories, and, of course, his controversial movies, including last night’s sneak-peak, “GREED.”

10AM-11:30PM Aquatic Body Enhancement® “Feel the Hydrostatic Pressure” with Arnel (All Levels) Hydrostatic pressure is the sensation of compression while the body is in the water —a sensation that increases with depth. Compression can provide support for standing activities, such as walking, with less effort than on land. Hydrostatic pressure will decrease swelling, improve joint position awareness, and produce forces perpendicular to the body’s surface. This pressure also provides joint positional awareness, and as a result, proprioception is improved. Additional swimming benefits include a decrease in blood pressure– reducing the risk of stroke, a reduction in your resting heart rate—increasing cardiac input, which in turn, allows for better overall circulation. or Spa It’s your last chance to take this opportunity to enjoy that long overdue steam or sauna at the spa, pampering yourself at the luxurious facility here at Rancho Las Palmas Resort & Spa. Advanced notice is required for individual spa treatments with our world-class therapists. 12PM-1PM Lunch and Lecture with Jim Kaszyk Enjoy another lunch featuring cuisine from Leanne’s “Modified Menu.” As you dine, enjoy a presentation
about a Fountain of Youth product called The Ageless Secret, described as “The most incredible breakthrough in the history of skin care!” You may know that collagen and elastin give skin its suppleness. But there is more to it than just that, as collagen and elastin are both bathed in water. There is a theory called the structured water theory that says our skin contains a high abundance of structured water when we are young. As we age we lose this structured water, the water of our youth and our skin begins to wrinkle and sag. Magnetism and electricity create structured water. The Ageless Secret, is an Energetic Cosmetic. It can be shown that when The Ageless Secret, is applied to the palms of the hands, one can hold a glass of water for 30 seconds and it will change the water within. When applied to the skin The Ageless Secret, boosts the electrical energy of the skin, revitalizes the water within, restores luster and smoothness and immediately improves skin elasticity by up to 50%. 1:30PM-2:30PM Circuit Training with Jeanette Jenkins “The Hollywood Trainer” (All Levels) Say ‘good-bye’ to those love handles, ‘adios’ to that back fat, and ‘move over’ to those flabby arms and thighs.
