Have you been meaning to drop those extra pounds?

Whatever your reason, be it aesthetics, athleticism, or heart health, health problem prevention, there’s never been a better time to do it than now.

According to a National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, two thirds of adults in the United States are overweight, and about one third are obese. http://win.niddk.nih.gov/statistics/

Extra weight plays a contributing factor in numerous health problems.  A report recently released from our nation’s capital states that more than 100,000 cases of cancer each year are caused by excess body fat.  Read more here: http://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/11/05/obesity.cancer.link/index.html

Are you self-conscious about going to the gym? 

Check out this quote from the Apria Healthcare website:

“In today’s weight room, you’re as likely to see a grandmother working her glutes as a quarterback working his quads, now that resistance exercise is recognized as vital to building strong muscles and bones.”

Pax’s Prescription Method of Training will show you how weight-resistance training will not only strengthen your muscles, but your heart as well. 

Pax didn’t just treat his heart disease – he reversed it.  Now his passion is to show others how to do the same.  Why?  Because it’s completely unnecessary that 50% of people die from Heart Disease or heart related illnesses.  Body For The Ages seeks to eliminate this insidious statistic. 

Read Pax’s story at www.BodyForTheAges.com.  He’s living proof that you can take control of your health, beat heart risks, and have fun in the process.

Hey there Folks,

This is pretty helpful for anyone looking for some background information on the practice of anti-aging and exceeding the average human lifespan: Wiki - Anti-Aging.

We at BODY FOR THE AGES place an emphasis on anti-aging through preventative and rehabilitative Heart Health. We do this utilizing a more holistic / fitness regiment [concentrating on Heart Health and fighting Heart Disease], as opposed to some of the more scientific perspectives that are discussed in this Wiki page.

However we do implement the power of Pyruvate and Protein supplementation, found as a portion of our Online Wellness Program, you may visit us there to learn more about our Nonprofit mission or for direct access visit us at our retail Online Store now offering a 2 for 1 special on Pyruvate and 2 for 1Protein !! Visit and learn how Pyruvate can help you prevent Heart Risks.

until next time,

Team Body For the Ages

Hello Wellness Nuts -

I recently came accross an article that powerfully endorses what we’re doing here at Body For the Ages Nonprofit to fight Heart Disease with our Online Wellness Program.

This article featured on Worldhealth.net, discusses the beneficial factors in total body physiology that one can achieve through exercise.

Although the article grasps the general notion around our program, it still only scratches the surface of our specific regiment. Our Nonprofit’s founder, Pax Beale, defeated Heart Disease through a commitment to Delectable Nutrition, the Benefits of our patented Pyruvate, and Weight-Resistance Training.

Weight-Resistence training differs from other forms of aerobic or cardio exercise due to its impact on blood-pressure; in conjunction with the supplementation of Pyruvate (believed by researchers to have strong benefits for the Heart), aids the creation of a sysnergistic rehabilitation for the cardio-vascular system and better positions one to live to their Maximum Genetic Lifespan!

Pax Beale: Heart Expert

Team Body For the Ages

A recent article in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/12/health/12heart.html?bl&ex=1227070800&en=0fd3c2f76367617a&ei=5087%0A) got me thinking.  We target the 40-60 crowd here at Body for the Ages.  Are we focusing on the wrong group?  Don’t children need the help more?

The thing is, we teach our children through our example.  If we let it be OK for us to be dangerously overweight, we demonstrate to our children that it’s OK for them too.  If we constantly reach for the cookie over the celery, we tell our children it is OK for them too.  If we spend every afternoon on the couch, we tell our children that’s OK for them too.

If we die early from heart disease, is that one lesson enough to undo all the others?  Maybe.  But why bet a child’s life on it?

The great thing about our example is that it works in all directions.  If we turn around ourselves, we show our kids that they can do.  That’s one of the great things about Pax, he shows that you can come back from nearly being dead to become National Bodybuilding Champion.  It’s one of the great things about the President-Elect, he shows that any child can grow up to be president.

And that’s what you got to be for your kids.  You got to be the example that anybody can get fit.  That anybody can achieve the body of their dreams, and reduce their heart risks in the process.

And we will help you do it.  Join us here.

I used to think that I was quite fit, afterall I am a great gardener, played tennis for 40 years and could beat just about anybdy at the Club, in doubles!  Also I used to snack on doughnuts and other bad foods just to feel better, and the pounds crept on.  But now, after becoming a member of Body For The Ages and having  the awesome inspiration Pax Beale and using his method of  Weight Resistance Training I no longer snack mindlessly on ‘comfort’ foods and really know now what great fitness and real weight loss feel like.  It feels great!  I workout regularly, eat well and have taken off 26 lbs.  Since this is the only body  I am going to have I have decided to love it and the fact my friends tell me how great I look helps.

So living well is the best revenge at any age and I am 82.  I have always had a gym to work out in , but now.  I have the most important  ingredient  -  Motivation!  Make the commitment!!

You can’t make a Total Commitment - or even a good partial commitment - without the tools for proper motivation.  A good gym or fitness health center becomes a motivating playground.  Add a personal trainer or personal coach, and a transformational lifecoach, and your recipe for motivation is even richer.

Generally speaking, a personal trainer has their focus on your exercise, while a personal coach in a fitness health center can focus on your whole being.  I don’t mean a certification by the group itself.  Think in terms of the art and science of weight-resistance training, aerobics, nutrition, scientific nutritional supplements, the psychology of total commitment, legally prescribed drugs, and optionally, at the request of the client, the personal coach can relate to the client’s physician.  Thus, the benefits of a synergistic effect.

Most gyms have personal trainers.  Some are excellent, some are worse than bad.  Because regular gyms sell comfort amenities, such as whirlpools, saunas and exercise classes, there is generally less emphasis on quality control over employed personal trainers.  Most are not paid well.

An exception would be the big, locally owned, licensed gym chains like Gold’s, Powerhouse, or World, where personal trainers are usually independent business people, not employed by the gym.  These personal trainers are excellent, but bring your wallet.  Many charge over $75 per hour in major cities.

Gold’s, Powerhouse and World Gyms seem to function differently than some other big chains which have mastered the art of the hustle for memberships.  The joke is that Gold’s, Powerhouse and World Gym offer a membership hoping you will show up and train.  At some of the others, memberships are hustled, but if every member showed up there would not be enough space to accommodate everyone.  You decide.

Look under gyms and health clubs in the Yellow Pages.  Clubs that picture weight training activity, or show bodybuilders in their advertisements are the ones you want; otherwise, you could end up going to a dance studio or gymnastics center.  This is even more true when you travel in foreign countries and the language barrier is a tougher hurdle than performing a record bench press.

So I was surfing the internet, like one does, when I came across this article:

Being skinny is no guarantee of a healthy heart
Serious health risks are found equally in fat and thin folks, study shows
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26143255/

Certainly, got my attention.  The article references a recent study that demonstrates that ones weight does not indicate heart risks.  Better indicators of heart risks are age, smoking, and especially inactivity.

“The results underscore how important exercise is for staying healthy, even for people of healthy weight” said Judith Wylie-Rosett, an author of the study.

This is something that Pax has been advocating for years.  As he puts it, a healthy body is not imancipated.  It’s fit.  You don’t want to be merely skin and bones.  You want to have muscle as well as little fat.  You don’t want to look like a skeleton with skin stretched over it.

Hopefully, this study will help move the thinking in the health and wellness fields away from weight loss to exercise.

One of Pax’s most important anti-aging secrets? An active lifestyle, of course. He’s living proof that those who stay active enjoy longer, healthier lives. This isn’t just about the physical benefits we reap from a fit lifestyle. It’s about the mental, as well. When our bodies are happy, we’re happy.

With the excitement of the Olympics opening today, it’s a good time to think about the amazing results we feel when we’re pushing our bodies to perform at their very best. Here’s an inspiring article about some athletes who prove there’s never an age limit when it comes making the most of our health and happiness:
