Senior Citizen Slows the Effects of Aging
As a senior citizen, Sally (72) began exercising in her late forties with Alice Ann Dailey, now owner of Oasis Mind-Body Conditioning Center™ at Preston and Forrest in Dallas and soon became a charter member of the Oasis Mind-Body Conditioning Center™. Still today, you can find her at the Oasis 3-4 times a week taking the unique mostly non-sweat workouts. She says, My muscles are still strong and I can still pick up and carry my grandchildren and my own luggage. Going to the Oasis gives me energy and relieves stress. Through the ongoing exercises at the Oasis, Sally has achieved:
A longer leaner body (from a 5 7 frame to a 57 1/2 frame).
Quick recovery from ankle injury while playing tennis.
Quicker recovery from surgeries.
Quicker recovery from anesthesia in surgery.
A Husband/Wife Team Exercising Together:
Regaining lost height
Carl (49) and Randy (49) wanted to workout together. Randy experienced pain from Fibromyalgia. Knowing their needs and desires, a friend recommended Oasis Mind-Body Conditioning Center™. Because the Oasis has a proven track record of rehabilitative results, they both saw immediate benefits from their initial classes of the Inner Body Workout. They were surprised by the gentle exercises offered and then at the results: firmer muscles, better posture, and increased height. Over time they both gained flexibility and peace of mind. Randy had always measured 5 4 as an adult, although she gained an extra quarter inch doing water aerobics in the early 90s. In just 2 1/2 years (at the Oasis), she has gained and maintained another Randy now measures 55 ! Only 10 years ago, Randy was unable to exercise and today she exercises 3-4 times per week taking the Inner Body Workout, Firm & Focus Fitness, Pilates and NIA. This October Randy ventured into taking Pilates equipment classes. The Oasis classes really strengthen your body muscles all over the body and without injury. Randy says, You are guaranteed not to get injured at the Oasis. Your body may be sore, but never injured. Carl has his own story. A friend recently visited from New Zealand who had not seen Carl is many years. He was incredulous about his shoulder posture. He couldnt believe how the rounded hunched shoulders of his long time friend had miraculously straightened.
Business Executive Profile:
Migraines Melt Away
On February 14, 1993, Sharon found the Oasis Mind-Body Conditioning Center™. She remembers the exact date because she was so desperate to get relief from the migraine headaches that had plagued her for 22 years and was so astonished at the feeling of relaxation she experienced after her first class. Sharon was the typical driven, workaholic business executive, traveling frequently, attending meetings nonstop, addicted to chocolate and too busy to exercise. A member of Oasis who had experienced relief from back pain gave Sharon a gift certificate to try the Oasis. Normally unwilling to devote the time to regular exercise, Sharon gave Oasis a try since she was running out of alternatives. She had tried all the drug options to alleviate migraines, as well as biofeedback, emergency room treatment, special diets, and alternative treatments. Her severe migraines caused many unpleasant experiences as she found it hard to keep food down in airplanes, in her car and at the office. She lived in fear of forgetting her drugs to control pain while traveling on business. To ensure regular exercise, Sharon began to schedule workouts at the Oasis like a business meeting and scheduled them in her calendar. She realized she was very disconnected from her body and began experiencing a healthier way of living. Gradually, she began to have fewer migraines. Before she knew it, she was going to Oasis daily for the great feeling of gentle exercise. She bought a magic circle so that exercise was possible on the road. After several months, she decided to take the Pilates equipment classes and hasnt looked back. Her last migraine was in June 1993. Sharon continues to take classes daily and samples the many different methods the Oasis offers. She credits her healthy, pain free and relaxed lifestyle to the Oasis.
Reversing Osteoporosis
Shirley and her husband have been regulars at the Oasis for the past two years. Although Shirley had not yet experienced problems with her back (osteoporosis), prevention was at the forefront of her mind. Through a friend of a friend, Shirley came to the Oasis and began taking the Inner Body Workout classes. Over the last two years, she has made an effort to workout at the Oasis three times a week. Each day of exercise brought better health and stamina. Shirley kept exercising at the Oasis participating in the Firm & Focus Fitness, NIA, and Pilates mat classes. This fall, she ventured into Feldenkrais classes. Today Shirley is an active senior citizen and in topnotch health.
Recently, she was having a pair of slacks altered and her seamstress of six years inquired about her physical fitness routine saying, You have a bottom like a teenager. What have you been doing? Shirley gleamed and attributed her sleek physique to the Inner Body Workout and the Oasis Physical Conditioning Center™. Her annual check-up revealed that her bone density has increased by four percent in her shoulders and hips two of the hardest and uncommon areas to see an increase in bone density. Shirley also reports that she is able to wear her fur coat from Neimans this year because she is stronger and healthier. She has not been able to wear it in past years because it hurt her shoulders to carry it. The Oasis offers really great ways to exercise. I can see and feel the results, and I can wear my fur coat, too, says Shirley.
