No Time for the Gym? Try Fitness Mattrz™ Online Workouts

Easy, Affordable Solution to Staying in Shape

ATLANTA (April 9, 2012) – Optimum Body Sculpting has announced the launch of its new online fitness membership website, Fitness Mattrz™, to help recession-weary consumers keep their fitness regimen on track.

With so many people cutting back on everything from traveling to eating out, Carol Dunlop, owner of Optimum Body Sculpting and creator of Fitness Mattrz™, knew that it was only a matter of time before people scratched fitness off their list, too. With gyms charging $35 to $60 dollars per month for memberships, many consumers find it hard to justify the expense. “More people are opting to work out at home, not only because of money, but it’s more convenient and fits into their busy schedule,” Dunlop said.

Fitness Mattrz™ offers consumers a variety of workouts, including Pilates, yoga, pre- and post-natal workouts, belly dancing, and toning and sculpting classes. New videos will be added monthly.

Along with videos, Fitness Mattrz™ brings consumers the ability to create their own personalized workout, with the Tanya Stroh Training Solution, created by fitness expert Tanya Stroh. Each day, users can create a new workout that comes with a demonstration video, exercise photos and a written description. Workouts can be printed to make it easy to follow along.

Fitness Mattrz™ takes the “whole-person” approach to fitness by providing articles, information and tips from expert coaches in the field of nutrition, lifestyle, spiritual health & wellness and empowerment. In addition, the site offers its “Love to Live” health seminar podcast series where consumers can tune in to learn about various health conditions and ways to combat them through diet, exercise and lifestyle solutions.

Memberships cost $9.97 per month, or $99 annually. As an introductory special, Fitness Mattrz™ is offering two months free on either membership.

So what the heck is Reiki you ask?

Well, first off let me be clear. It’s not a religion or tied to a religion.  Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by “laying on hands” and is based on the idea that an unseen “life force energy” flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one’s “life force energy” is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy.

The word Reiki is made of two Japanese words – Rei which means “God’s Wisdom or the Higher Power” and Ki which is “life force energy”. So Reiki is actually “spiritually guided life force energy.”

The art and techniques of Reiki help loosen and balance energy in your body. The energy of Reiki will bring a state of deep relaxation, promote healing, relieve stress and produces an overall sense of wellness. This treatment will leave you feeling peaceful and refreshed.

“Wow, I came to Simone feeling weak, depressed, and with a huge headache. After ONE HOUR of her working on me, the stress and headache are now gone. I feel so alive and renewed! Thank you Simone!”
Cheuk Y Wu, Miami Florida

“Simone Kelly-Brown, what can I say her gifts are numerous….
I came to her home while I was performing in South Florida and asked for an impromptu Reiki session. What it turned into was a moment of complete confirmation on some things that my body and spirit were desperately needing.

A gentle spirit mixed with a blessed touch, Simone’s hands were made to heal.”

Yahzarah, Recording Artist

6 Ways to Jump-Start Your Body’s Detox System

:: By The UltraMind Solution author Mark Hyman, M.D.

have some bad news and some good news for you about toxins and your brain. The bad news is, we live in a poisoned world that damages our brains. The good news is, we know how to avoid and help our bodies get rid of toxins, which gives the brain a chance to heal and repair itself.

We are exposed to toxins we were never designed to deal with — and nearly all of them cause brain injury.

A recent study of umbilical cord blood found 287 toxic chemicals, 217 of which are toxic to the brain and nervous system. And that is what infants are exposed to even before they take their first breath. These toxins include mercury, lead, PCBs, BPA, phthalates, plasticizers, flame retardants and more.

There are 6 million pounds of mercury emissions from coal burning every year, and 2.5 billion pounds of toxic chemicals released into the environment every year. Where does it all go? At least some of it gets into your body — and your brain. In fact, a recent government study found an average of 148 chemicals in our bodies. And those were only the ones they tested for.

Did you know that 25 percent of New Yorkers have toxic blood levels of mercury from eating too much sushi? Or that 15 percent of American women of child-bearing age have toxic levels of mercury in their blood? That means 15 percent of the 4 million children born in the United States each year, or 600,000 children, are exposed to toxic levels of mercury in the womb. And then there are the 3,500 different chemicals that are added to our food, and the more than 3,000 chemicals found in our homes.

Below I’ll discuss some of the effects these toxic chemicals have on our brains. I’ll outline six simple ways to detoxify your body and reactivate your body’s natural, built-in detox system. And I’ll reveal the master detoxifying molecule made in your body.

The toxic American

The average American consumes literally pounds of hormones, antibiotics, food chemicals, additives, artificial sweeteners, and MSG each year. Each one of these toxic chemicals has been shown to harm the brain.

On average we consume a gallon of neurotoxic pesticides and herbicides each year by eating conventionally grown fruits and vegetables. (And that’s with people eating much less than the 8 to 10 servings they should be eating!) Remember, pesticides work BECAUSE they are neurotoxic to pests — they attack their nervous system. Imagine what they do to your nervous system.

A recent study in The Lancet clearly showed that food additives make children hyperactive. Researchers took about 300 normal children and split them into two groups. Each group was given an identical-looking colored drink. One was naturally colored; the other contained sodium benzoate and many other colors and additives. The children who drank the additive-laden beverage were all much more hyperactive.

How toxins affect the brain and your health

These compounds and the total load of all the other toxins we are exposed to create what I call a “broken brain” — changes in mood, aggressive behavior, depression, problems with attention and focus, sleep problems, reduced intellectual performance, and memory loss..
