Get Fit Indoors!
Nintendo releases new Wii video game for fitness!

I have not played with it yet- let me know how fun it is, clients! And, remember to use your core, breathe, and no new injuries! Your feedback is welcome...

See Yahoo! News Release

Physical Therapists have been using the Nintendo Wii in hospitals and rehabilitation settings with great results (following information taken from the American Physical Therapy Association: www.apta.org):

Wii Releases Fitness Product:

Nintendo Co launched a new exercise product on May 19 in the US called Wii Fit, according to an article in the Wall Street Journal Online. The Wii Fit includes a weight-and-motion sensing device called the Wii Balance Board.

Since its launch in North America in November 2006, the Wii has been in the news for helping patients with rehabilitation and physical therapy. Look for the article in the May issue of PT Magazine about PTs who have used the Wii as part of patient care.

 
Acu-Yoga Survey Results!
Thank you for your feedback!

acu-yoga logo The results are in!






Most of you want a Sunday morning class...fortunately, Debbie Gilman, my private yoga teacher, teaches a fabulous class in the space already 10:30 - noon for levels 2-4.
See her bio and schedule at: Innate Chiropractic.

Other popularly requested times are: Thursday evenings and Friday mornings. If I make a few schedule shifts and clear it with my landlord, Thursday evenings might be possible. I'll keep everyone posted!

Liz's Upcoming Offerings:

I am always listening to your feedback and making changes to meet your needs. My most recent continuing education class was on Prenatal and Post-partum Pilates. I have a few pregnant friends and am offering them free classes until I have my verbiage under control. Soon, I will offer it, for a small fee, to the public. Please contact me for further information or to refer a pregnant friend!
Adult Presidential Fitness Test??!!
Remember that Presidential Fitness Test we took in school?
Here is an adult version:
