LADIES GETTING FIT: MORE THAN JUST A WORKOUT BY AMY BETH DOBBINS

“N

ot everyone has the goal of fitting into a bikini,” explains Natalie Standley, Office Manager and Fitness Instructor at Fitness Time for Ladies in Claremore, “For many women fitness is more about general health, maintaining mobility as we age or an overall increase in energy. For others, working out at Fitness Time is more about ‘me time’—something we do for an outlet or better mental health.” At Fitness Time the difference from other gyms is clear. “The goal of Fitness Time is to provide a comfortable, supportive environment—a hassle-free experience—even spa-like,” states Standley. The personal touches in doing so are abundant. From wellappointed finishes and high-end workout equipment throughout the facility to the smallest of toiletries in the dressing rooms, everything is provided so that members can simply show up and work toward their personal goals. There is never pressure to join, and if a woman decides to, there are no contracts, no yearly maintenence fees and no cancellation fees. They also offer multiple payment plans to fit her budget. Included in membership is unlimited access to all of the scheduled classes including: yoga, Pilates, spin, kickboxing, Piyo, Zumba, HIIT and step aerobics. Members may also safely access the gym 24 hours a day to work out independently on a wide array of exercise machines and equipment. Unlike other gyms where members have to stand and wait a turn to hop on popular machines, Fitness Time makes it a goal to alleviate wait time. In fact,

as membership has continued to grow, so, too, has the facility, expanding three times since moving to the current location a few years ago. If a member needs a little extra motivation, she may find it with one of the staffed personal trainers for an additional fee. Fitness Time prides itself in being about the whole person, thus it is more than just a place to work out. Members may also enjoy the relaxation room which offers the use of massage chairs and infrared saunas at no additional cost. Onsite, there is also a full service spa and salon for additional pampering when a workout is finished. Or, members may purchase a post-exercise treat from the Herbalife nutrition bar. From tales of significant weight loss and the freedom that comes with it to women finding emotional support as caregivers, Fitness Time offers more than a workout. “Regardless of the goal, we want to make a woman feel good in her life,” states Standley.

Chilling with

the Animals:

Wintertime Fun in Tulsa BY KRISTI ROE-OWEN

emember all the fun you had this summer at the Tulsa Zoo cold chilling at the Chimpanzee Connection and soaking up the warm sun with all your little goat friends at the petting zoo? Those were good times, but now that the colder weather is kicking in, the good times don’t have to end. According to zoo horticulturalist Cameron Dunford, this is actually the coolest time to visit the zoo, pun totally intended. “Most of the animals are still on exhibit in the cold,” Dunford said. “The zoo is great when it’s not crowded,” he explained. “Warmer days, above 40 or 45, are the days to go. If you’re looking for thrills and chills, then look no further than the coldest hot spot around!” The Oklahoma Aquarium in Jenks is also a great place to commune with nature when the mercury drops. And there’s plenty to keep you busy!

AT THE TULSA ZOO: Befriend a Wild Kitteh. If you can’t get

enough jellybean toes online but you’re ready to up your cat game, consider adopting one of the zoo’s adorable baby snow leopard cubs. It’s a symbolic adoption, so snorgles are pretty much off the table to you crazy cat lovers, but you can gaze all oogly-eyed for hours at those spotty lil furbabies through the safety of a wire panel and make every weekend Caturday.

Chill with Master Shifu. Okay, so you

probably aren’t going to learn any kung fu from this little guy, and his name is actually Bo, but he is a totally stinking adorable red panda. He arrived in town a while back, but it was too hot for this little bamboo-loving friend to hang at the zoo, so he’s been off-site waiting for the temperature to cool down. Red pandas are used to cold weather, so he’s completely down to chill.

Wave to a Warthog. No promises they’ll wave back, but according to Dunford, the warthogs are soon slated to move into the rhino and mixed species yard, and despite what Disney may have led you to believe, it won’t hurt to stand downwind.

Be a Trekker. Put down that bat’leth. We said trekker,

not trekkie. Tulsa Zoo’s amazing WildLIFE Trek buildings are a great way to habitat hop and mingle with dozens of species. While you’re checking off Disney characters, go ahead and find Nemo lurking around the Life in the Water exhibit.

Fraud can happen to anyone. It happened to me and text banking tried to warn me. I was out of town. I noticed two purchase alerts in my messages. My wife and I share an account and she had recently been to a craft fair, so I assumed they were hers. I was in a hurry and did not verify the transactions. My mistake. A couple of hours later, my bank called to inform us these were fraudulent charges on my wife’s card. Luckily, they caught it quickly and canceled her card before other fraud occurred. Fraud departments are great at what they do, but so are fraudsters. It’s ultimately up to me to keep track of what is happening on my account. Text banking allows me to monitor account activity quickly and easily throughout the day from my phone. If I don’t recognize an expense, I can check it out right then. Detecting fraud early can help minimize loss. Many major credit card companies also offer text alerts. Let text banking help you guard your money.

You can use text banking to check account balances, transfer money between accounts and notify you when your balance falls below a specific dollar amount. You can pick and choose which alerts you want to receive. Smartphone and Wi-Fi not required. Learn more ways to protect your money at

ydration is healthy. Since approximately 70% of our bodies are water, it makes sense we should use the purest, healthiest water we can find. Achieving the healthiest hydration is not as transparent as purchasing a bottle of water. It begins at the cellular level for the body and the most useful water for our bodies includes three primary factors: antioxidant level, pH level, and absorption or hydration rate. Brent and Rhonda Nicholson, are owners of IO Pure Water, a local business that specializes in offering a very effective, small in-home alkalized ionized water machine that aids in supporting better health for you and your family; and will save you from purchasing expensive bottled water that can be acidic to your body. There are eight models that provide everything from various water types, pH ranges, and antioxidant hydrogen rich water. Models include counterstyle, under-the-counter, travel and shower units; including ones for commercial restaurant use. The couple became intrigued with this alkaline antioxidant water purification system when they were shown the science behind it in a demonstration comparing bottled water, tap water, Gatorade, and soda pop. The acid and alkalinity differences were measured with an ORP meter (Oxidation Reduction Potential which measures oxidation and antioxidation). The bottled water measured 370+ oxidation, tap water was 400+ oxidation, Gatorade measured at 350+, soda came in at 300+ oxidation; being highly acidic. Comparatively, their sample of alkalized ionized water measured at negative 300 antioxidation, meaning it was highly antioxidant and very good for your health. Alongside the health benefits of this machine, you can Brent and Rhonda Nicholson

FREQUENLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is it?

Ionized hydrogen rich water in its natural state flows over rocks and water. During the 1970’s, a Japanese scientist found a way to mimic this water ionization by inventing a machine using platinum covered titanium plates that circulates the water and enriches its ionization, alkalinity and purity; similar to the natural waters you would find in places such as Lourdes, France and Nordenau, Germany.

What will it do for me?

Everyone is different, some people receive many health benefits, and we have even heard about amazing health recovery testimonies.

Is this the same alkaline water that I will find on the grocery store shelf?

No, it does not have chemicals in the water to create alkalinity.

How does it taste?

It tastes good; a lot of people don’t like the taste of water and will replace it with soda and coffee. This water is very fresh and pleasing. also adjust the system pH levels from 2.5 to 11.5, to create tap water for a variety of other household uses. For instance, by adjusting the machines pH level to 2.5 your water will be very acidic and can be used as a “cleanser”; hospitals in Japan use it at this level to sterilize and disinfect instruments – it’s been known to kill e coli, salmonella, MRSA and other bacteria. 6.0 pH level is great for your skin…8.5 to 9.5 pH is excellent for drinking for both you and your pets…11.5 pH acts as a laundry detergent and degreaser because it emulsifies oils, dirt, and removes pesticides from vegetables during washing. Vegetables washed with this water are known to taste fresher and last longer. The greatest allure of this water purification system is that it is affordable and long lasting. Contact Brent and Rhonda and they will be happy to give you more information.

early half of all adults have losing weight on their New Year’s resolution list. But how likely is it you’ll stick to it? Making lifestyle changes isn’t easy, and many New Year’s resolutions don’t last. But, finding a successful method and sticking to it has never been easier. The staff at BA Med Spa & Weight Loss Center has weight loss programs to fit an individual’s needs with proven results. The spa, located between 71st and 81st on Elm, uses extensive medical research along with your individual goals to develop a plan suited to help you achieve the results you’ve longed for. Their most successful program is the HCG plan. “Most people are familiar with this plan, but we’ve fine-tuned it so patients will see results that stick,” says Malissa Spacek, managing partner and founder. “The process starts with a complimentary consultation where you discuss goals as well as challenges you’ve had before. “Weight loss is personal,” stresses Malissa, assuring that “We don’t judge. Holidays happen. We really care about our patients and how weight affects their lives, whether that is self-image or more energy needed for an active lifestyle.” The plan starts with the creation of a balanced diet plan tailored to your individual needs.

THE RESULTS ARE IN! BY MARY BRANSFORD

art of what it means to be thankful is to be conscious of the gift, benefit or pleasure received. Additionally, being thankful means expressing that consciousness, as well as the gladness that accompanies the feeling of thankfulness. Genuine thankfulness requires a bit more effort than I, and I suspect most of us, often take. Genuine thankfulness requires some pause and reflection about why a person, a thing, and event, a gesture, an object, a specific period of time, a gesture of forgiveness, a second chance or whatever it is, is meaningful for us. We received so many wonderful photographs from family to inspirational during our “Thankful” contest. Some of our reader’s photos expressed wonderful experiences they had, others about family, some were inspirational and others about triumphing over challenges. Here are our “Thankful” photo contest winners:

JERINA EDWARDS

1ST PLACE

“I’m thankful for my husband, Rich. I was diagnosed with breast cancer is June of 2016. He never missed a chemo session, worked his schedule around doctors appointments & surgeries, did the work of two around the house, & kept life as normal as possible for our three kids all while continuing his work as a firefighter for the Jenks Fire Dept. plus working part time for the Jenks School District. He is a true hero to me & this community! He has been my rock & I’m sure is part of the reason I’ve been able to recover as well as I have.”

MELISSA GREIMAN “I am so very thankful for my boys. Many

nights I drop into bed, exhausted from a day with these three. But it is so satisfying to be raising brothers who love each other and are best friends.”

2ND PLACE

CINDY OROSCO

“I’m thankful I get to be a stay home mom, that I have the best baby a mother could as for. And a man that truly loves his family and comes home every night. Blessed beyond words!”

3RD PLACE

We are thankful for everyone who participated and took time to send us their photographs. Here’s to being THANKFUL in 2018! JANUARY 2018 ROGERS COUNTY
