"Smart" Tip for your Brain
It is important to find time for your brain to wind down and rest. Here's why: Cortisol is a chemical your body produces when under stress; it is deadly to the brain. When you don't let the brain escape from the pressure cooker on a regular basis the stress hormone builds up and the neurons and neurotransmitters break down. The brain will then compensate for the damage by dipping into it's important reserves. Resting the brain periodically is vital for keeping it in peek condition.
Fresh is Best
Many leading brands of canned foods contain BPA-- a toxic chemical linked to reproductive abnormalities, neurological effects, heightened risk of breast and prostate cancers, diabetes, heart disease and other serious health problems. So, ideally avoid canned foods entirely and stick to fresh fruits and vegetables, or switch over to brands that use glass containers.

| Golf Tip |
|
Here's a well-worn tip for all of us slicers courtesy of Paul Segerlund from the August 1970 issue of Golf Magazine. Aim your club face directly at your target, and set your body parallel left of your target. Before you start your swing, slightly move your right hip to the right- it should feel like your turning your right pocket behind you. This allows you to take the club away slightly to the inside, making a fundamentally correct anti-slice, inside-out swing. Try this at the range first and if it works, use it on the golf course.
Have a great game!

"What a difference this work-out has made in my life! Within the first six weeks I immediately noticed an increase in muscle mass and strength. Being strong makes it easier for me to do a better job at my work and to do the physical activities I like to do on weekends. Yes, I'm a confessed "weekend warrior" but now I'm ready for it!"

Each of our 20 Minutes to Fitness semi-private studios offer a unique, medically-based form of strength training commonly referred to as "slow cadence, high intensity" strength training.
This unique training is:
* Performed on highly-specialized, safe equipment
* Always performed under the supervision of a certified Personal Fitness Coach
* 50% to 59% more effective than any other form of exercise in protecting your overall health and actually reversing the frustrating effects of the aging process
* Accomplished with only one 20 minute session a week.
The Health Benefits
By rebuilding the muscle mass that we lose as we age (starting as early as our mid 20s), the 20 Minutes to Fitness training can actually turn back the frustrating effects of the aging process by preventing loss of mobility, flexibility, and functionality, while at the same time preventing a number of debilitating medical issues, such as:
* Osteoporosis
* Diabetes
* High blood pressure
* Reduced cardio efficiency
* Some forms of cancer
