t ½½Ä ÝÝ Absolutely Abdominals We all have four layers of abdominal muscles, each with fibers running in a different direction. This criss-crossing pattern shapes your midsection and supports the lower back.

Common crunches only serve to further weaken muscles. In this workshop, we will learn how to strengthen all four layers of ab muscle, reshape your waistline and check overstretched abdominal connective tissue from pregnancies. (If you have this issue, it will change how you do abdominal exercises.) Get a tummy tuck without surgery and find relief from lower back discomfort to boot! Come and learn how to strengthen and flatten your abdomen quickly, effectively and in a very functional way. Come in loose clothing and be prepared to exercise. Bring a mat.

Joint Health Workshop: Have Stronger, Younger, Healthier Joints The human body contains 143 joints. Strong, flexible joints are needed for almost every activity we do - walking, lifting, bending, etc. Unfortunately, studies show that at any given time 1/3 of all adults worldwide are experiencing some sort of joint pain. When your joints hurt, even simple movements become painful and that greatly lowers quality of life. The good news is your joints were made to last a lifetime and studies are showing that you CAN reduce pain and restore your joints to a stronger, healthier condition. In this workshop we will talk about various causes of joint pain, treatments currently available, pros and cons of taking prescription drugs to mask pain, the latest research information on nutrients that can help repair joints, the results of a breakthrough study on gelatin, simple joint lubrication movements for hips, knees and shoulders to sooth those achy joints, a few important stretches to help relieve joint compaction and increase range of motion, and a simple technique that will align joints and cut down on wear and tear.

Joint Health Workshop: Have Stronger, Younger, Healthier Joints The human body contains 143 joints. Strong, flexible joints are needed for almost every activity we do - walking, lifting, bending, etc. Unfortunately, studies show that at any given time 1/3 of all adults worldwide are experiencing some sort of joint pain. When your joints hurt, even simple movements become painful and that greatly lowers quality of life. The good news is your joints were made to last a lifetime and studies are showing that you CAN reduce pain and restore your joints to a stronger, healthier condition. In this workshop we will talk about various causes of joint pain, treatments currently available, pros and cons of taking prescription drugs to mask pain, the latest research information on nutrients that can help repair joints, the results of a breakthrough study on gelatin, simple joint lubrication movements for hips, knees and shoulders to sooth those achy joints, a few important stretches to help relieve joint compaction and increase range of motion, and a simple technique that will align joints and cut down on wear and tear. #JOINT-W1-14 Thursday, Jan. 23 $35 for 1 class Janice Novak
