			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>&#8220;Discovered Over 50 Years Ago &#8211; Could this be the <br />
World&#8217;s Easiest Way to Stay Slim and Build Muscle?&#8221;</h1>
<h2>In the 1960s, Russian Cosmonauts solved a daunting fitness problem<br />
which allowed them to spend up to 270 more days in space than US Astronauts. Learn how this discovery could now help you bust cellulite,<br />
boost muscle strength, and enhance your heart health in just minutes a day.</h2>
<p>Many people gain weight as they age, and sometimes it’s so gradual you don’t even notice.</p>
<p>A Harvard research study discovered that women tend to gain an average of 20 pounds over 16 years as they reach middle age.</p>
<p>And if you don’t stay physically active, you start losing muscle mass at around age 40. You burn fewer calories as your body shifts from building less muscle to adding more fat.</p>
<p>You can blame it on “somatopause” – the body’s normal metabolic slowdown and decline of your body’s production of growth hormone (HGH) as you age.</p>
<p>Somatopause likely affects millions of baby boomers in the U.S. and millions more around the world, causing:</p>
<ul>
<li>Weight gain</li>
<li>Energy loss</li>
<li>Loss of muscle tone</li>
<li>Increasing body fat </li>
</ul>
<p>When you don’t get enough exercise as you age, <a href="http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2003/06/14/laziness-fat.aspx" target="_blank">visceral fat can build </a>in your abdomen. This can happen whether you are overweight or at normal weight.</p>
<p>Visceral or belly fat can negatively affect your overall health and quality of life and – may be, by far, the worst fat to have on your body&#8230;</p>
<h3>Why Fitness Matters</h3>
<p>Fitness is so important for many reasons. Just to name a few…</p>
<ul>
<li>Helps you achieve and maintain your ideal body weight</li>
<li>Promotes good cardiovascular and respiratory health</li>
<li>Provides comfortable movement and flexibility</li>
<li>Improves your mood </li>
<li>Helps guards against premature aging</li>
</ul>
<p>There’s no question that exercise is a major key to promoting health, as well as looking and feeling your best.</p>
<h3>How Much Exercise Are YOU Getting Each Week?</h3>
<p>Most people simply don’t get enough exercise.</p>
<p>Consider your neighborhood gym or fitness club. Visit during the first couple of weeks in January and you may need to wait in line to use the treadmill.</p>
<p>Go back in mid-February and take your pick of equipment – with no wait. Everyone’s gone.</p>
<p>What happened between January 1 and just six weeks later? Human nature.</p>
<p>In today’s fast-paced world, everyone wants to save time. It’s a precious commodity. Many folks – and maybe you, too – don’t have hours each week to spend exercising.</p>
<p>Imagine this scenario… What if you could get the same or even greater benefits from hours of exercise in <em><strong>just 45 minutes each week?</strong></em></p>
<p>The “most perfect” type of exercise for you is one that helps you:</p>
<ul>
<li>Slim down and get rid of belly fat</li>
<li>Supports bone strength</li>
<li>Move with comfort and ease</li>
<li>Improve parts of your body you <em><strong>can&#8217;t see or feel</strong></em>.</li>
</ul>
<h3>How Whole Body Vibrational Training Tackles “Belly” or Abdominal Fat</h3>
<p>I talked earlier about how visceral fat – the fat tissue that develops in your abdomen – may be associated with less-than-optimal heart and vascular health.</p>
<p>And it can occur in anyone – thin, normal or overweight.</p>
<p>An animal study showed that Acceleration training caused a drop in the creation of new fat cells.**</p>
<p>A recent human study of 79 obese adults found:**</p>
<ul>
<li>Those using Acceleration training in addition to a low calorie diet <strong>lost twice as much visceral fat</strong> after six months compared to those who followed a low calorie diet with cardio and weight training.</li>
<li>The decrease in visceral fat remained at the same level in the vibration group after 12 months, while the diet and fitness groups returned to their normal baseline values after 12 months.</li>
</ul>
<p>Overall, this latest human study shows great promise for helping to achieve and even more importantly, <em><strong>sustain </strong></em>weight loss and help reduce unwanted visceral fat.</p>
<h3>Boost Your Muscle Strength WITHOUT Weights in Just Fifteen Minutes, 3 Times a Week</h3>
<p>If you struggle with weights – as many people do – I’ll bet that you’re going to love what accelerated training can do.</p>
<p>If you don’t have the time it takes to get a decent, regular workout at your gym, you’re also going to be pleased.</p>
<p>Accelerated training allows you to reap <em><strong>all</strong></em> the benefits of strength training with ease and in just a fraction of the time. Just like the cosmonauts.</p>
<p>How can it possibly do this?</p>
<p>With Acceleration training, your body’s muscles contract between 25 and 50 times a second as you make gentle body movements. It’s this constant muscle tensioning that increases muscle strength.</p>
<p>And it only takes three 15 minute sessions per week to get you started building lean muscle with accelerated training.</p>
<p>That’s only 45 minutes a week!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="left"><span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: x-small;">The practice of massage therapy is the assessment of soft tissue and joints of the body and the treatment and prevention of dysfunction, injury, pain and physical disorders of the soft tissues and joints by manual and physical methods to develop, maintain, rehabilitate or augment physical function to relieve pain and promote health.<br />
 <br />
Massage Therapists use Swedish massage, along with many other techniques such as Neuromuscular Facilitation (NMT), Trigger Point Therapy, Myofascial release, and Lymphatic Drainage. In addition, therapeutic exercise, stretching and postural education is also part of an average massage therapy visit. </span></p>
