Q: I have never had a professional massage. What is it like?
A:
Touch is a basic need. Massage is so therapeutic, it is a wonder why so many people have never experienced it. I believe most
of our society is touch deprived. Massage, with its many styles and techniques, is a great way to allow people to safely open
up and relax. Imagine lying comfortably, with soft music playing, candles burning in a dim room, and all distractions of the
day are temporarily put on hold. Your therapist takes your body on a journey of the senses. Your skin, muscles, and joints
all get the attention they need leaving you feeling relaxed, stretched, and good about yourself. And that was just the beginning.
Regular massage teaches you how to listen to your body better. It also trains your body to stay healthy longer by promoting
proper body functions. It's all good!

Q: I feel like I need to lose a lot of fat. Can't I just limit
my calories instead of working out? I hate to sweat.
A: First of all, you need a proper body fat percentage test to
determine exactly how much excess fat you really have. Too many people claim they have tons of weight to lose when in fact
they have less than they think. You must have realistic goals. After that, your exercise program needs to address your current
abilities, limits, and favorite activities. If you do have a lot of weight to lose, and you want to get it off and keep it
off, you need to work hard. Sweat is part of the deal. Prepare for it. Calorie counting is not always necessary. But portion
control is a must. Most people eat whatever, whenever they want. If you have weight to lose, control is what you need to learn.
