Dr. Misty Caudell, a Pilates client, performs some basic and intermediate exercises on the MVE fitness chair. The fitness chair provides a true strength training component with the principals of Pilate’s core training to allow for a fun overall experience.

The Pilates program is customized to meet the needs of each individual guest, while all the exercises use the Pilates principals, they are designed to engage the client and are fused with a variety of strength training techniques.

Feel free to stop by and schedule a complimentary consultation and get started today!

The pike (above) is an exercise that promotes shoulder stabilization and core strength. This is an intermediate move that can be modified for a beginner.

The mountain climber (above) is an intermediate move that requires leg and core strength. This exercise is seen as an intermediate move but can also be modified for beginners to build leg strength. This exercise also promotes pelvic stabilization.

The mermaid (above) allows for lengthening along the torso while challenging the core muscles and increasing torso flexibility. The mermaid is great for those with chronic lower back pain as it allows for a release in the musculature in the lower back and pelvic region.

It seems like North Georgia has landed in the middle of the cold and flu season with a bang and everyone around you is sick or has been sick with some sort of bug.  We all know to wash our hands as often as possible but what else can you do to help your body stay healthy?

Gone are the days when random letter and number combinations such as “h1n1″ and “MRSA” were meaningless. Now, with “super bugs” on the rise, we all have seen just how important it is to keep our immune systems functioning optimally. In talking with other moms of preschoolers, I have realized that this year seems to be the year our kids are having a harder time shaking the colds and flus and runny noses that used to be no problem. Many Americans now understand the benefits of probiotics to boost the immune system; by ingesting beneficial “friendly” bacteria strains which compete with and inhibit the growth of the pathogenic “bad” bacteria. Because 80% of the immune system is contained in the digestive tract, the use of probiotic supplements can provide a real boost for the immune system (not to mention the other beneficial effects such as better digestive health).

Those of us who take Flora Synergy as part of our daily regimine of nutritional supplements will be happy to note that the strength of the Flora Synergy has been increased – providing you with 50% more of the “good bacteria” Lactobacillus sporogenes per capsule!

In addition, Energetix has also formulated a new broad spectrum probiotic supplement, Flora 12+ which contains 12 beneficial bacteria strains, which is especially helpful for people who have recently taken antibiotics, have problems with yeast (candida), or a wide variety of other digestive conditions. It can be taken as a complement to Flora Synergy or alone. Restore your digestive flora balance and strengthen your immune system with new Flora 12+ which is available in capsule form (and is easily mixed in milk or juice and never noticed by little ones- I promise!)
