As you age your body may become frail, one question frequently comes to mind — can you reverse osteoporosis? Here at SuperSlow LA, we believe that the answer is yes, you can. Our weekly 30-minute workouts that slows down the aging process and helps you stay in shape!

Can You Reverse Osteoporosis Naturally?

Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens the bones in your body, making them more prone to breaking. In some way, it’s a by-product of aging — as you get older, new bone tissue no longer replaces the old one as much as it used to. At one point, usually after the age of sixty, your bones become brittle and break easily.

Clearly, that can make moving and going about your daily business difficult. But can you reverse osteoporosis? And if so, how to reverse osteoporosis naturally? The answer is simpler than you think.

Since osteoporosis is so closely linked with aging, you can’t entirely reverse this process once it begins. However, you can slow it down and improve your bone strength.

So, how can you reverse osteoporosis naturally? It doesn’t require any medication or complicated surgery — just regular sessions with SuperSlow LA will do the trick.

Here at SuperSlow LA, we focus on your needs and tailor all our exercises to suit you. No matter how old you are or what conditions you have, if you need to know “Can you reverse osteoporosis?”, you’ll be sure to benefit from our approach. We’ll never force you to do extreme workouts or exert yourself beyond your limits — slow and steady is the way to go.

What Should You Not Do if You Have Osteoporosis

If you’ve ever wondered “Can you reverse osteoporosis?”, now you know that it’s possible through exercise. However, some types of exercise may worsen the condition instead of helping. So, here are a few that you should avoid:

  • High-impact exercises (running, jumping)
  • Excessive twisting and bending (toe touches, sit-ups, tennis, golf)
  • Activities with a risk of falling (skiing, ice skating, rollerblading)

Luckily, SuperSlow LA has programs designed precisely for people with osteoporosis. They include only safe exercises that will benefit you and won’t lead to any injuries.

If anyone asks you: “Can you reverse osteoporosis?” — send them our way!

There are numerous benefits to strength training. However, many people associate strength exercises with bodybuilders…

Furthermore, it’s a common belief that our bodies must lose their strength, agility, and shape as we age. But although each passing decade will leave a certain mark, it doesn’t necessarily mean we should become weak, stiff, or overweight.

SuperSlow LA offers a solution for those who notice such aging signs but have no time or idea what to do about it. So, read on to learn more about our fitness program and the benefits to strength training!

About SuperSlow LA

SuperSlow LA is a personal fitness facility that offers a unique exercise program. We use the “slow movement” technique and special equipment to build your muscle and core strength. So, by moving very slowly with resistance, you will start gaining muscle and core strength. If you give us only twenty minutes each week, you will look and feel your best and experience many other benefits to strength training.

Benefits to Strength Training: Why Should You Give It a Try?

Studies claim that muscle strength declines between 16% and 40% by the time you turn forty. But you don’t have to become a part of such statistics. So, let’s take a look at some of the benefits to strength training.

The Main Benefits to Strength Training

1. Improving Bone Density

After the age of forty, bone density slowly declines until bones become brittle. SuperSlow LA is a strength training older adults should also consider because it slows down this process.

2. Lower Blood Pressure

Nearly half of adults in the US have high blood pressure. So, when talking about the benefits to strength training, we can’t skip over the lower blood pressure that results from less body fat.

3. Increasing Core Strength 

With our strength training, upper body muscles and core strength start to build up. As a result, you will improve your posture, balance, breathing, reduce back pain and your waistline.

4. Building Muscle Mass

With SuperSlow LA, you’ll slow down the aging process, increase your strength, lose weight, as well as increase mobility.

5. Increasing Metabolic Rate

Our exercises are designed to boost your metabolism, which means more energy and better circulation. You will also notice your skin looks nicer and that you heal faster.

6. Less Anxiety and Depression

The last one on the list of benefits to strength training is better mood and general emotional state.

As a fitness professional, I’m always looking for articles that I can share regarding healthy diets because I believe it’s important to understand what we put in our bodies. Like most of you, I love the idea of having a balanced meal that is both tasty and nutritious. This Men’s Health article talks about grains that are low and high on the glycemic index, what the differences are, and why one type is much better to eat than the other. It’s fascinating and well researched. I feel this shows you the healthy grains that are available; check it out. #nutrition

Here’s a fascinating look at our aging process.

When we add weightlifting to our weekly fitness routine, we can make significant gains in muscle mass and strength as well as improve our mobility, mental sharpness and metabolic health. The experiments used in this study show significant reversals in bone density loss, and appear to help stop osteoporosis in its tracks. You can definitely see the importance of strength training as you get older!

Have a look, and start weightlifting as soon as you can. If it’s difficult to get to a gym or you don’t like the typical health club atmosphere, call us! At SuperSlow LA™, a private facility located in the heart of Brentwood, you can come in and be done in only 30 minutes, once a week.

I’m all for cardio as part of an overall exercise program; it’s great for your heart in moderation. But, as pointed out in this recent Men’s Health story, it is possible to overdo a good thing.
Why is it so important to not go overboard? If you work out intensely and often, there’s a chance that,  over time, you could develop what’s called an “athlete’s heart.” According to studies, “your odds of heart trouble decline as you go from sedentary to moderately active. But when you work your heart vigorously for hours a day, your risk may start to rise again.” This article points out these risks and suggests some possible solutions to lower them. I hope you find it valuable.

I’m super-excited to announce two things: first, our fantastic trainer of many years, Carly Swartzman, is changing careers, pursuing her dream of helping the L.A. community as a Registered Nurse. Carly’s been studying nursing while working at SuperSlow, and she’s finally ready to change uniforms! Because of this, we were searching for an amazing SuperSlow expert to take Carly’s place in the studio, and while no one can actually replace her, we found someone very close; we’d like to introduce you to Corrie Blissit!

Corrie is a SuperSlow strength training specialist who was a featured staff member at New York City’s Ultimate Training Center for six years. Born and raised in Aiken, South Carolina, Corrie learned to dance at a young age. She went to the College of Charleston, minoring in Dance, and graduating with a B.S. in Psychology.

After college, Corrie worked as an assistant physical therapist at New York’s esteemed Hospital For Special Surgery before transitioning into fitness, nutrition, and preventive medicine. These interests brought her to UTC, one of the founding SuperSlow studios in New York City, where she learned to be an instructor/trainer.

Corrie moved to Los Angeles this past fall, and she can’t wait to help clients feel better from the inside out at our own SuperSlow studio. Welcome, Corrie!

Original article featured in VoyageLA

I recently had the opportunity to by interviewed by Los Angeles-based media company VoyageLA. 

SuperSlowLA was founded 19 years ago by my wife, Susan Taylor after recognizing a critical need for a SuperSlow location in West LA.  At the time, Susan was commuting to Calabasas once a week to reap the benefits of this unique workout. She decided to open a location in Brentwood. Almost two decades later, some of our original clients are still working out with us due to the results they’ve experienced! Susan herself has been consistently doing this workout for over 20 years. She looks and feels fantastic.

When I met Susan she suggested I try SuperSlow too and I was hooked. I became a certified trainer and now I manage and co-own SuperSlow LA.

What makes SuperSuper different than other workouts is it doesn’t require much time.

We’re open 7 days a week by appointment. I invite you to come in and try your first session free to see if SuperSlow is right for you. Call me today to schedule your complimentary session: (310) 471-1300.

It’s happened again. Last year, health officials lowered their recommendations for safe cholesterol levels, bringing millions of adults a lot closer to being at risk of heart disease and directing them to statin medications, the world’s most-prescribed prescription drug. This week, medical experts revised safety limits downward for high blood pressure, putting almost half of Americans at risk for hypertension. High blood pressure is second only to smoking for causing preventable heart disease and stroke deaths, experts say.

While limiting salt intake and adding sleep hours are a few ways patients can help lower their blood pressure, vigorous exercise is also a well-recognized lifestyle modifier that can help as well. SuperSlow LA™ is expert at helping you gain strength, manage weight and lower blood pressure levels. Click here for the entire story.

I read an article that talks about whether or not employers should pay for their employees to work out. My feeling is that anything a business can do to promote good health saves money.

Let’s face it, health costs are a big issue these days. When you invest in your employees by funding an exercise program and encouraging a healthy eating lifestyle, you’ll have workers that are happier, more productive, and will most probably miss less time at work too. This article elaborates on these and other benefits. I recommend that every employer read this!
