Tabata

What is Tabata?
The Tabata workout is a high-intensity interval training regime that produces remarkable results. A Tabata workout is comprised of an interval training cycle of 20 seconds, followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated over and over for several minutes.

Who can do it?
Everyone! Tabata is suitable for all abilities and levels of fitness. You level of fitness determines the amount of effort you put into the exercises right from the first set. If you want to pace yourself, that’ s fine, build up slowly and get used to the exercise before increasing your effort levels.

Why do it?
Everyone will have a fitness plateau at some stage in their training or perhaps you are bored with your current exercises. This will help you get some real muscle growth. Tabata’s high repetition and extremely short rest periods will increase the blood flow to the muscle fibers. Tabata delivers vital nutrients, oxygen, and anabolic hormones, meaning more energy available during the workout and better recovery for growth. It will increase your lifting capacity. Short and intense hit routines have proven to rise resting metabolic rate (RMR), which means your body will continue to burn calories well after finishing the exercises. If you want a higher metabolism, to build strength and muscular endurance, get more defined muscles, strip fat, or take your fitness to the next level, then you have to try Tabata.

Reflexology by Cheryl Smith, certified reflexologist

Reflexology is a holistic approach to health and well-being that supports balance, comfort and healing. It feels like a slow, intentional foot massage that provides instant relaxation and stress relief, but actually does much more by promoting positive changes elsewhere in the body. It can help improve circulation, joint flexibility, immune function, digestive function, and decrease muscle tension and soreness, among many other health concerns. In addition, reflexology promotes better sleep, concentration, reduction of anxiety and creates an overall sense of well-being.

Reflexology is available on Monday and Wednesday between 8:30-11:30am and 6:45-8pm and Friday 10:00am-5:00pm. Sessions include an initial foot soak, then 45 minutes of reflexology for $40. A soothing, pampering, mud & scrub can be added to finish the session for an additional $5. Introductory sessions are $30, and referrals bring the price to $30, as well. Gift certificates are available.

Sign up for sessions on the calendar posted on the door to the lounge or call Cheryl at 252-646-3668 or e-mail: cherylsmith375@gmail.com

Cheryl had just the right mix of being professional, courteous and friendly so that I felt very comfortable.  This was my first reflexology session, so I didn't know what to expect!  Pampering, but therapeutic-wonderful.  I felt really relaxed and rejuvenated. Highly recommend giving it a try!
