AN UNCONVENTIONAL APPROACH TO WEIGHT LOSS
Keith Morton
Owner/Partner

Why have we been on a "low fat diet" for 30 years, and obesity has never been more prevalent? Why have we walked, ran, spent hours on elipticals, spun, etc. and we as a society have never been fatter? We've eaten our vegetables, walked around with water bottles, and eaten only whole grain bread...how have we done?
You get the point. Obesity is really a crisis in America. It's my opinion that conventional wisdom, when it comes to diet AND exercise couldn't be more wrong.
I believe I have a simple and MANAGEABLE approach to weight/fat loss. No calorie counting. No writing down what you eat each day. Simply follow a few relatively easy and specific rules and slowly trim up.
If this interests you, I'm putting on a seminar for clients and friends on Thursday Feb. 26th at 7:00 PM at CityWide. (It's FREE)
Please RSVP to Keith or Laura at 773-281-SLOW

CITYWIDE'S NEW TRAINER

In November 2008, Becky Diebold joined CityWide's team of outstanding trainers. Becky is a certified personal trainer through the American Council on Exercise and the Slow Burn Method. Becky recently "relocated" to the city from Naperville where for three years she was a full-time trainer, practicing the SuperSlow method exclusively. She first discovered this exercise protocol observing her Mother's progress working with a trainer to rehabilitate an orthopedic issue. After trying the workout herself, Becky became hooked and knew this was the philosophy of training she wanted to practice and share with others.
Becky has a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and a minor in Pre-physical Therapy from the University of Arizona. Recently Becky has been filling in for Alexa who has been home taking care of her new baby girl. She still has time open and looks forward to building her business at CityWide. In addition to her weekday schedule, Becky will join Alexa and take clients on Sundays.

WHAT WE'RE READING

BODY BY SCIENCE by Doug McGuff, M.D.

Body By Science challenges the common beliefs people have about exercise. It explains what science now knows about the role of exercise in human health. Exercise scientist Doug McGuff presents research that proves the positive effects of a high-intensity, low-frequency weight training program, while avoiding the negative effects of traditional aerobic exercise. This book provides great information that supports the philosophy of training CityWide believes in.

CITYWIDE SUPPORTS GIRLS IN THE GAME

CityWide SuperSlow is excited to announce our continued support for Girls in the Game. Since 1995, Girls in the Game, a nonprofit organization has emerged as a leading girls' health and fitness organization in Chicago providing year round after school, summer and weekend sports, nutrition and leadership programming for girls in need. Recent research reveals girls from urban areas have less access to a healthy start and active lifestyle compared to girls from suburban areas and all boys. Help us get Chicago's girls in the game: volunteer, donate, get involved!

Field of Dreams, the 14th anniversary gala event, takes place on Wednesday, March 4, 2009.
