Strong, flexible joints are needed for almost every activity we do – walking, lifting, bending, etc. 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.

In this workshop, we’ll talk about: various causes of joint pain; treatments currently available; pros and cons of taking prescription drugs to mask pain; latest research information on nutrients that can help repair joints; 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’ll align joints and cut down on wear and tear.

Defensive Driving for 55+ Refresher (4 hour)

In this class we’ll discuss how to live a richer, more meaningful life while reducing consumption, debt, and stress. Also known as voluntary simplicity, this lifestyle promotes de-cluttering, reducing spending on luxuries, being satisfied with what you need, not what you want, and freeing up more time for the really important things and people in your life. After a health scare in the 1980s, the instructor embraced these principles, left corporate America, and has lived a happier, simpler, more meaningful life.

Computer Tablets: What to Buy and How to Use Them

Joint Health Workshop: Have Stronger, Younger, Healthier Joints

Join us and learn what to look for when buying a tablet and why it’s important: Will a tablet do what you need it to do, or should you really buy a laptop? What should you look for? What should you avoid? What’s important in a tablet and what’s not? Apple or android; and what’s the difference? Does it have a camera and should you care? Will it connect to your TV, and more! If you already own a tablet, bring it with you to class and explore its uses. Whether you are thinking about buying a tablet or have one and want to learn more about it, join us for this fun and informative class!

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 meant 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’ll talk about: various causes of joint pain; treatments currently available; pros and cons of taking prescription drugs to mask pain; latest research information on nutrients that can help repair joints; 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’ll align joints and cut down on wear and tear.

Improve Your Health at Any Age You can’t change your chronological age but you CAN shave years off your biological age. Your BioAge is measured by how well all your body systems work. There are many things you can do to affect your BioAge. Studies show you can be 50 and have the physiology of a 30 year old, (and vice versa), depending on how well you take care of yourself. What you do now greatly affects your health and well-being now and in the future. Nothing beats good health! In this workshop we’ll discuss simple steps you can take now to shave years off your bio age and help make every system in your body as healthy as possible. Also, we will do Janice’s famous ‘One Minute To Better Posture’ technique that will have you standing straighter instantly. #HEALTH-W-15 Thursday, Feb. 19 $29 for 1 class Janice Novak
