$27 ULTIMATE BREAKTHROUGH WEIGHT LOSS
WITH FITNESS DIRECTOR DANIELLE WILLIAMS
LESS THAN 30 DAYS LEFT TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF A VERY LIMITED OFFERING...
16-weeks of workouts with videos of every exercise
PLUS a 16-week habit-based nutrition guide for only $27.
Are you looking for a solution that puts you in control and does not require meeting with a Personal Trainer…a program you can do on your own and that fits into your schedule?
I know you don't have to look far before being bombarded by the latest "health & fitness" magazine announcing how to "get amazing abs in 1-week". So many weight loss scams are straight out crazy and ridiculous, not to mention unrealistic. Today "quick and easy loss weight loss" sells but the only thing that is "quick and easy" is the speed that you'll get ripped off, waste your money and get upset at yourself once you discover you were played.
I would like to share a female fitness formula– no matter what your age, fitness level or body type - to reignite your passion for a healthy body. I am sending this email because I'm sick and tired of seeing you being robbed your money and your fitness results because of misleading information. I have learned over the years that there is an intelligent way to get lean without doing anything extreme. You see I have not always looked the way I do today. In fact, my body, fitness and health is 10x better at 40 plus years of age than it was at 23 years of age (don’t ask how big that plus is please). I have spent a good portion of my adult life feeling very unattractive, unhappy and being seriously unfit! In the past I worked out regularly and did the "eat healthy" thing… then on the weekends I'd ruin it by eating junk and neglecting the gym. And I just couldn’t drop body fat. I became that girl who knew how to wear the right clothes to camouflage all my flaws but underneath was a stockpile of pizza… chocolate… cookies. It was HUMILIATING, especially since I was a personal trainer! I had accumulated 20 pounds of unwanted body fat and had to figure out how to get some REAL and PERMANENT RESULTS.
So I stopped training like a girl and used a fitness formula specifically designed for fat loss. I also went under the tutelage of the number one exercise nutritionist in the world – Dr. John Berardi. In the fitness world this man needs no introduction. He holds a PhD in Exercise Physiology & Nutrient Biochemistry, he is a teacher of nutrition, a competitive physique athlete, a personal trainer, a researcher, an author and a nutrition coach to pro athletes and Olympic Gold medalists.
After all my experiences and training, I can confidently say that it REALLY IS NOT YOUR FAULT you're struggling to get a flawless figure. Getting a flawless figure is totally about strategy, science and simplicity:
INTRODUCING…

TRY THIS MOBILITY DRILL-THE BRETZEL
This is a total mobility exercise for the quadriceps, hips, piriformis, glutes, low back and thoracic spine that will aid in improving shoulder limitations.Begin laying on either side with one knee up, the other down in a neutral position, and the head supported by a foam pad. Take the hand of the arm that is in contact with the ground and grab the knee that is flexed up at belly button height. Take the other hand and grab the ankle of the leg that is behind the back, if it is too difficult to grab the ankle then use a towel or strap.
Begin to inhale and on the exhale start to rotate to the side of the up leg. Cycle through this progression a couple times until the shoulder is in contact with the ground. If it is too difficult to get the shoulder down, then elevate the flexed leg with towels or another object such as a step.
STILL THINK WEIGHT LOSS IS “IMPOSSIBLE” FOR YOU?
THINK AGAIN…

The Dream Jeans Challenge gets results. CONSISTENTLY. And we have fun doing it! What wouldn’t be fun about losing 6 inches in just 8 weeks (yes, I can make that happen).
Young or old…male or female…ectomorph or endomorph…average genes or amazing genes…deconditioned or pro lifter…it makes no difference!
I don’t care what set of obstacles life has dealt you…I am going to SMASH your genetics and incinerate the fat and make your body DRIP with confidence so you can LOVE your body 365-days a year. And I am going to make sure you have FUN along the way.

AN ADDITION TO THE PILATES STUDIO
In the Month of November the OVAC Pilates Studio received a Wunda Chair So you might ask what is a Wunda Chair? The Wunda Chair invented by Joseph Pilates is a powerful piece of equipment which has remarkable ability to build core stability, upper-body strength and lower-body power to improve performance in athletes, retrain the body after injuries, and increase overall physical conditioning.
Joseph Pilates originally invented the Wunda Chair with intention for a portable “Home Gym” as it was affordable and compact. The Early designs converted from a chair you could sit on to a chair you could exercise with. The chair even had removable cushions so it could be used as a functional piece of furniture fitting neatly in a home or apartment. The chair has undergone numerous changes over the years, and now has many more variations of Pilate’s exercises. The equipment is very simple, consisting of a seat, pedals, and springs which connect to the pedals to adjust the resistance.
The Wunda Chair offer numerous exercises from essential exercises for beginners, intermediate, and to very advanced exercises which can offer the most athletic challenges. To perform the more advanced chair exercises well, you need good upper body and leg strength, scapular and pelvic stability and a strong core. Unlike moves on the reformer or the Cadillac, most chair exercises are performed sitting or standing, which provides an excellent environment for functional and athletic training for people of all Pilate’s levels. This makes the chair a perfect exercise equipment for athletes wanting to feel the “burn” as well as for people who just need more strength, coordination, and balance. The chair is also very effective for creating sport specific programs for runners, bikers, soccer, basketball and tennis players, as it develops explosive leg power integrated with core strength and good biomechanics.
If you are interested in trying out this wonderful piece of equipment, then contact Julie Fox (323)829-5562 or Certificates are also available to give the gift of Pilates to your love ones.
