Here at Recess we don't feel like "working out" should be something you "have to" do. It should be something that gets your heart rate going, puts a little rose in your cheeks, and that you find fun and enjoyable. Dancing in your
skivvies? You bet! Chasing your rugrats around the park? Of course.
This month's health tip encourages you to get creative so that exercise feels more like something you can't live without than something that ranks as slightly more enjoyable than a root canal. And even if you want to spice up the good ol'
treadmill, then we advocate trying this method:
Recess's Boot Camp is back with a new attitude. If you want a camp that is going to kick your hiney, exhaust you, make you hurt and then as soon as you stop you gain it all back - well - then this camp is NOT for you.
If you want the tools, information, motivation and a fun, positive environment where the results will last you a lifetime then Recess' Health Immersion Package is for you.
It's the same as our old boot camp (for all of the alumni out there who wouldn't trade it for the world), but renamed to more clearly communicate Recess' totally holistic and long-lasting approach.
Do you want a total immersion and a lifetime plan for looking good and feeling great?
The camp includes:
* Pre and post body composition/fitness assessment
* All of our personalized reports * Seminars on nutrition, cooking, exercise and integrative arts like yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi, Budokon, etc.
* A peer support group and Recess facilitator
* Participant-only web portal access

had never really been excited by hours on the treadmill, so when she saw the ad for Recess Beach Body Bootcamp (now called Recess Health Immersion) there was something that resonated....

Time and time again epidemiological studies have shown that exercise has protective effects against the ravages of disease - lowering the risk of heart attack, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, dementia, osteoporosis,
gallstones, diverticulitis, falls, erectile dysfunction, peripheral vascular disease and 12 kinds of cancer.
Try to fit all of that in a gelatin capsule!
Did you realize, though, that even for those who already suffer from the effects of diseases such as ailments like rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease, congestive heart failure or osteoarthritis that exercise can,
in fact, improve your outcomes in the battle against illness?
The New York Times wrote an informative and interesting article that summarizes how regular, moderate intensity exercise is better than an apple a day.
