Freelance Pesonal Training
Now is the time to become an independent personal trainer, whether working in your own home or in the home of others. Before the excuse was lack of equipment and the cost of setting up... to get started. And then there was the issue of hauling heavy equipment when working in clients' homes. But consider that for $800 you can perform just about any exercise imaginable and with manageable equipment. For $800 you can purchase a Lean Abs Machine (40+ exercises, including some great leg exercises), a set of Powerblocks (any dumbbell movement you can think of) with a portable bench, and a set of Bodylastics (any cable-based exercise you can think of). You can find reports and links on the Lean Abs Machine and Bodylastics by visiting: http://www.iartonline.ca/articles/products/productreviews.html

IART Instructors
As a near-final reminder, certified IART instructors who do not complete a client case study by June 30th 2007, to demonstrate understanding and ability of our current standards, will have their files closed. For some instructors, this has been an on-going concern for at least two years, whereas we are asking only for a three-month case study. Submissions must be made by the end of June, no excuses or exceptions. No excuses like "I'm too busy with clients to do a case study." Perfect, you need a client! Email us to set up an appointment to talk if you require assistance.

Light Therapy
Check our home page or the product reviews link above. There you will find an overview report on light therapy and its value. As simple as it may seem, we have noticed some very beneficial effects, including more wakefulness during the day, better sleeping patterns and more sound sleep, and even heightened awareness during training (when used prior to exercise). Light therapy is thought to be for Northern areas with long, dark winters, but that is not the case. It benefits anyone who is not in the Sun regularly (whether to avoid the harmful rays or because of employment where there is little Sunlight to reach the eyes, etc.). Our recommended source (with several models from which to choose) is www.NorthernLightTechnologies.com ; they service world-wide.

BioFeedback Conference

NanoGreens 10
The popularity of this nutrient supplement is exploding, and for good reason - it works! In fact, on March 15, Dr. John Zhang MD presented at the AAC a lecture on the Logan Chiropratic College Study: Hypertension and Green Phytonutrient-Rich Fruit and Vegetable Supplementation. We'll provide details once in. In the meantime, check out this link for more information or to order NanoGreens 10.
