Power Plate® equipment is the premium vibration device powering a new dimension in wellness solutions for all ages, lifestyles and physical abilities.

It uses the principles of Acceleration Training™ to stimulate the body’s natural response to vibration. These vibrations transmit waves of energy throughout the body, activating muscle contractions between 25 and 50 times per second, enhancing overall performance in sessions as short as 30 minutes a day, 3 times a week.

Acceleration Training™ on Power Plate® equipment offers a host of benefits, ranging from an immediate improvement in blood circulation, to a variety of other measurable outcomes: such as increased muscle strength and flexibility, increased muscle tone, improved range of motion, decreased cellulite, increased bone mineral density, reduced pain and soreness and faster recovery.

CYCLE Baby

This newsletter’s headliner has to be the news of our newest bambino cycler . Emily and Tevia are preggers! Take a gander at this beauty already rocking out in perfect form. We cannot wait! When you see the glowing mom, Emily, be sure to rub her belly good wishes and give Tevia a giant hug.

Here’s Tevia’s update: “We got scanned last week from our friend who is a gyno/perinatologist. She spent so much time with us! She even did a 3d scan. She said she can tell us the sex in 2.5 weeks. We heard the heart beat!!! It was beating at 170 bpm. The baby was moving like crazy. She said the baby looked PERFECT!! We saw the brain, spine, fingers, toes. It was amazing!!!”

TRAIN 411…the latest and greatest – September 2009

Greetings!

We have to count our blessings that we are safe and sound from those horrid fires.  Can you imagine evacuating from your home (what to take with you?!)  and coming back to a charred ruin?  Quel horror!!! The minor inconveniences that have touched us here in our locale–the soot blanketing our cars, the extreme heat, the ash cloaking our normally sunny blue skies are bearable.  Really, people!

Yet, we have to be mindful that training outdoors can be unhealthy.  Self-serving as this sounds, it is wiser to be working out indoors and delay our hikes, runs and sporting events to later in the month when atmospheric conditions are optimal.  I know…I haven’t hit a tennis ball in weeks, yet, my training has not stopped.  Cycling, weight training and power plating right here at TRAIN continue unabated.

Celebrate Dr J’s bday on September 10th!  He loves chicken snacks and plush toys!

Studio SOMA is having a Bollywood Dance Workshop every Thursday at 8pm to 9pm with the people from Slum Dog. If you know of anyone that wants to take this workshop,please contact SOMA at (310) 289-9043. $20 for a single class or $15 per class if they buy four classes.

Feel blessed, value your health and stay fit!

Sincerely,
Mylene
