BURN 1000 BURN 1000 is an interval training class utilizing specialized treadmills that incline to 30% combined with short bursts of high-intensity floor work. A class of up to 24 people begins with half on treadmills and half on the floor. The incline and speed change throughout the hour-class keeping you focused and your heart rate up. Alternating between 5, 10 or 15 minute intervals, those on treadmills switch to weights and vice versa. Strength-training may consist of variations of functional and compound movements using weights or resistance bands that change every 30 seconds to two minutes. By combining interval, functional, core and athletic-based training into a one hour high intensity and high-energy session, participants can fire up their internal furnaces and can burn up to 1000 calories. Research shows exercising at inclines of 18 degrees or more triples the number of calories burned from fat! BURN 1000 is for everyone and it's up to you how much you exert yourself.

Joan Krueger Hypnosis Hypnosis is a state of mind in which you have heightened focus and concentration which allows you to be more open to suggestion. It can be used to create subconscious changes in a client in the form of new responses, thoughts, attitudes, behaviors or feelings or can help you cope better with anxiety or pain.

When you're in hypnosis, you usually feel calm and very relaxed. It's important to know that although you're more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you don't lose control over your behavior.

To change your life, change your mind!

The practice of functional medicine, The Founder of chiropractic, Dr. D. D. Palmer wrote “Disease is too much or not enough functioning”. Functional medicine diagnoses malfunctions before disease and symptoms occur. We correct malfunctions of the body. Malfunctions initially have no disease or symptoms related to them and must be diagnosed by functional indicators. The three stressors that interfere with body control and function are chemical toxicity, hormonal imbalances and neurological damage. When diagnosed, the effect of these stressors is corrected by specific neurological restoration, supplements and other means.

Eliminate Excess Fat ...

Without Surgery!

The Amazing LipoLight Body Sculpting Program allows fat cells to shrink and so will you!

Start the New Year with a New Look for a New You!

Back to School I’ll never forget the emptiness I felt after losing both of my parents in the same year. Having good days and bad days, I soon became depressed and gained over a hundred pounds. I tried everything to lose weight . . . but deep inside my heart of hearts, I felt like I never could. Then all of a sudden I had a new best friend, low self-esteem, whose silent whispering caused me to pass on every opportunity of attending school functions with my daughter . . . for fear of her being teased about my weight.

But one glorious day, after discovering and researching Dr. Salter’s Slim Down - Firm Up program, I found hope. Could there really be a simple, easy and effective weight loss program that would work for me?

Well, I tried it and not only did I lose 67 lbs. over several months but the program actually retrained my taste buds to enjoy healthy foods.

It wasn't a crash diet; instead it was a real food-based detoxification program, with some key supplements, that gave my metabolism a true jump start. Dr. Salter did blood tests to look at my hormones, and also considered whether a prescription appetite suppressant was appropriate for me. She also emphasized that long-term weight loss must include a mind-body component. So, it wasn't a "one-size-fitsall" approach. My life has changed. I've learned to eat to live, not live to eat. Not only that, I enjoy walking regularly and I now look forward to attending both of my daughters school functions.

An Inspirational 2015

by Angela Misuraco, WHNP, BC January is a month of reflection and planning. Many of us make New Year's resolutions focusing on health. Some of us want to lose weight while others might be striving for a personal record. Reflection and planning can be helpful in maintaining one's health. It is important to use compassion when reflecting about unmet goals and to celebrate small steps forward in achieving these goals. Everyone can agree that exercise is crucial in maintaining one's health. It is as good for the mind as it is the body. Exercise elevates neurotransmitters which lead to improvement in mood and a sense of well being. Sweating aids the body with detoxing. Weight bearing exercise helps build and maintain bone density. Stretching and moving helps maintain flexibility. As we raise our heart rate every blood vessel expands and contracts more efficiently.

Our lungs inhale deeper leading to better oxygenation to our muscles, organs, and brain. Most of us feel inspired and energized after exercising. Then why do we need New Years resolutions?

Exercise routines can get boring. If this happens, it may be time to try something new. St. Louis has a plethora of fitness classes and clubs making it easy to try something new. Even if you branch out for a week or two you might find the inspiration you need to return to your usual routine.

Yoga & Spa Magazine • Special Edition 2015

I don't have the time. We can all relate to the struggle of trying to make ourselves our number one priority. When life gets chaotic, we need to simplify our expectations. Drop your workout routine from an hour to 30 minutes. No time for 30 minutes? Then how about 10 minutes. Walk in place while watching your favorite television show. Take a brisk walk at lunch or a flight of stairs or two.

I don't have the money for a fancy gym.

Exercise is free! The Internet has a wealth of workout routines requiring no equipment.

Canned goods can be used as weights and towels can be used in place of bands. Chairs can be used for tricep dips. There are two great local running stores that offer free running and walking groups throughout the year. There is a pace for everyone.

I used to exercise, but I lost my motivation.

Surround yourself with positive people doing positive things. If you don't have this luxury, there are great fitness and motivational bloggers. Try to capture photos of yourself during or right after an activity you enjoy.

Place these photos in your home or office to remind you of how much you enjoyed yourself. Commit to a class or walk with a friend. Not only is exercise more enjoyable with friends, but this commitment can hold us accountable and increase our success.

Whether you are an athlete or a beginner, I hope you find your inspiration to move and try new things in 2015. I found inspiration last week as I watched Kevin Jorgeson and Tommy Caldwell free climb El Capitan's Dawn Wall. I found their message to be simple but powerful,"Find your own Dawn wall. We had our project that we saw through to the end. What's yours?"
