myo what? myofascial release! you've heard of this, right? or have seen those foam rollers in stores. they range from about $15.00-$40.00, come in several lengths and various colors. you need to get one-a longer, dense foam type. we need not get technical here but by using the roller (other items used for the same purpose are golf and tennis balls) you will release the knots in your muscles along with other added benefits. after my workouts and after some stretching i roll. if you have a mat put that down and sit on it. put the roller under different parts of your body, especially good for legs, and while applying pressure slowly roll back and forth. you will feel the knots-they hurt! but keep going back over them and over time they will release. you may feel clumsy at first but the learning curve is pretty short.
myofascial release is recommended by everyone in the fitness world. you tube has videos or pick up a roller and when you come for your 1/2 hour complimentary consultation i will show you how to use it.
so get rolling!

Don't Hate Exercise!
made a decision yet? ready to get started? or if you have started what will keep you going?
many of those big, chain gyms have thousands of members but they know that only a small percentage of its members will actually keep coming month after month. there are, of course, many reason for not going and many people, especially women, say they hate to exercise. but it might help to think of "exercise" as movement. your body was designed for movement. it is a miracle of design with its ability to move in so many ways. but if you don't move enough (exercise) it won't function the way it is designed to-the best way.
think about your reasons for not moving. besides the obvious of time/money do you find it boring, repetitive, don't know how or how to start, feel clumsy, embarrassed, think you're too old?
to help with these negative reasons many people find that by working with an innovative personal trainer most of them will disappear. a trainer who knows how to design a variety of interesting, challenging movement sequences that are geared towards your goals, dare i say, may even be fun and might be just what you need to get started and stay motivated.
so don't think you hate exercise. you just haven't found the activity, program or trainer that works for you. come see what i do here at studio 65-it might just be what works for you.

Take a look
pictured above is studio 65, my boutique fitness studio that focuses on functional training-including cardio, strength, balance and flexibility-geared for women and using such equipment as dumbbells, kettle bells, sand bells, battle ropes, bosu, balance balls and the indo water rower. of course the best piece of equipment is what you bring-your own body! programs are individually designed based on each woman's particular needs and goals. as i have experienced many of the challenges of our changing bodies, body images and health (why didn't i wear that bikini when i was 20? 30?) and felt so out of place in the chain gyms, i decided to open a fitness studio in a different type of setting where women would feel comfortable and understood but also be exposed to the most efficient and proven ways to improve fitness and health. the official opening day is january 15th-stay tuned.
