1But first, we want you to think ahead twenty years from now and imagine a life where you’ll be able to move carefree and have all the energy in the world to enjoy your favorite activities… all because you’ve stumbled upon the closest thing to the fountain of youth.

Imagine you are climbing the Spanish Steps in Rome…all 135 of them…with your family. You are almost to the top when your grandchildren say “race you to the top” and take off in a burst of giggles. You chase off after them and, in a burst of energy and to their astonishment, not only catch them but pass them. But, of course, as you near the top you slow down and let them win. Everyone laughs and high-fives and together take in the marvelous view of the Piazza di Spagna at the top. You get to mark that one off of the bucket list but more importantly you also get a special moment with your family that you can cherish forever.

Sounds great doesn’t it? What could be better? But what if you weren’t able to race up the stairs with your grandchildren because your body wasn’t fit and healthy enough. Because your joints ached. Because you just didn’t have the energy. Because you were too worried that you would fall and either hurt yourself or embarrass yourself. What if you had to walk so slowly and take so many breaks that the grandkids are no longer having any fun because they are too bored waiting on you? What if you couldn’t even climb the steps at all and had to wait at the bottom while the rest of your family created that special memory…without you?

2Let’s face it, the aging process is not kind and it wants to sap our bodies of stamina and vitality so that we aren’t able to enjoy special moments like these. Plus we end up spending so much money taking care of our health needs that we no longer even have the money to travel and visit family like we want to. It gets too expensive and our bodies can’t handle it.

This brings me back to the shocking statistic we wanted to share with you BEFORE it’s too late.

The shocking finding, which appears in the Journal of General Internal Medicine, looked at data from more than 3,000 people covered by Medicare in 2002-2008 to gauge the impact of health care cost on seniors.

Researchers measured how much Medicare-eligible seniors had spent out of pocket on healthcare in their last five years alive, and looked at how those costs weighed on their total household income.

After crunching the numbers, the report found that during that time period, more than 75 percent of Medicare-eligible households spent at least $10,000 out of pocket on health care.

3Spending for all participants during those last five years averaged $38,688, and for the remaining 25 percent, the average expense was even greater; they spent a whopping $101,791 out of pocket.

A quarter of participants also spent “more than their total household assets on healthcare,” according to the report.

In 2011, approximately 58% of people didn’t even seek treatment that they needed because it was too expensive, according to a survey done by the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation, a nonprofit research organization.
But why will you end up spending so much money on healthcare costs?…
Every Year You Are Losing Crucial Vitality

Functional ability is your ability to handle every day functions like going up and down stairs and picking up the TV remote off the floor. Things you may find easy now, but have no plans to keep it that way.

Without a strategic exercise plan, each year that you get older your functional ability decreases, making everyday activities like gardening, playing with grandchildren and even picking up a piece of paper off the floor much more difficult than it is now.

And unfortunately, this domino effect has a drastic impact on your energy levels. It’s how your body works. If your functional ability is minimal, your body has to work harder in order to do simple tasks.

This explains why your energy decreases as you age as well. Which brings me to the next question…
Twenty Years From Now, Do You Know for Certain You Will Have Enough Energy to Spend QUALITY Time with Your Family and Friends?

There are memories to be made with family reunions and vacations, as well as playing chasing games with your grandkids. There are people to help through volunteer efforts and charitable organizations you help with. There are loved ones to visit and take care of.

Your spirit says, “Yes”, but unfortunately, without a plan, your body won’t allow it.

5Your friends and family will be making memories, but all you will be able to think about are your aches and pains that just seem to not ever go away, no matter what you have tried… including way-too-expensive medications.

You soon realize that your body is holding you back from enjoying life to the fullest. You are mentally there with your friends or family in the moment, but physically, you want to be in bed asleep. You know this isn’t the best way to live.

Of course, you also have the infamous “bucket list”, those amazing experiences that you’ve always dreamed about that are now within your grasp. Ask yourself… how much of my bucket list have I accomplished?

There are places you want to see and even more memories that you would like to make, but if you have to deal with aches and pains and lack energy you won’t be able to pursue them. You don’t want that.

What if there was a solution for people just like you… who aren’t looking for the latest “fat loss” craze or looking to become the greatest athlete on Earth?

What if there was a done-for-you solution that improved your functional ability and energy levels and was tailored to your abilities?

You just want a simple, step-by-step plan that you can incorporate into your life right now to:

Discover renewed energy that recaptures your youthfulness so that you can do the things you’re doing now… even BETTER
Improve your confidence in your physical abilities so you get much more out of life and can say “Yes”, instead of “no thanks”
Dramatically increase your stamina and endurance so you can finally play a full round of golf or work in the yard for hours without your body being stiff and sore later.
Reduce or even eliminate any discomfort so you can actually get on the floor to play with your grandkids (and then easily get up again!)
Have the peace of mind that you will be fit and healthy 10, 20 or even 30 years from now.
Be confident that you will have the physical ability to enjoy all the adventures and wonders you have yet to accomplish.

There is a solution that we’ll share with you. But first, let’s look at why you’re reading this important message.
Why Other Plans Have Failed You
(and How Much You’re Really Spending).

The truth behind expensive medication is that it’s simply a quick fix and it doesn’t get to the root of your potential problem. Medication simply “masks” your lack of functionality as well as your aches and pains and you end up depending on it.

7In other words, if you stop taking the medication, you’ll continue to lack functionality and will continue to struggle with everyday activities as you age.

As you read in the study above, this becomes very expensive. Spending money on this medication means you don’t have the funds to do what you really want to do in life. But you don’t have a choice because if you don’t spend the money on your medication, your quality of life takes an immediate hit.

Now you’re probably thinking that exercise is a great option to avoid this as well as improve your health and it truly is!

But there is a downside…
The Programs On the Market Today
Were Not Made for People Like You.

Everything from infomercials to DVDs were created to make you sweat, but have no impact on what you’re trying to accomplish. You could take a walk on a hot summer day and sweat, but are you improving the quality of your life and will that impact your functional ability ten, fifteen, even twenty years from now?

8No, of course not. You’re also not trying to improve your bench press, either right? This is why other programs have failed you. They are focused on simply making you grind out long, grueling sessions that leave you feeling defeated instead of invigorated.

Think about it… when was the last time you were on an exercise program and stuck with it? It’s hard to stick to something that doesn’t do anything for you. The truth is that many programs do produce results but for the wrong people. The programs didn’t have YOU in mind.

Also, think about this… who is always on the cover of these programs and what kind of models are representing the programs?

It’s always a man or woman clearly in their 20’s or 30’s with six-pack abs jumping around or doing some kind of crazy exercise using expensive equipment and gadgets.

You don’t want that and it’s why you were smart enough to not invest in it. You’ve gotten wiser with age and perhaps you would have invested in something like that twenty years ago, but not this time. You’ve been looking for something more in touch with your wants and needs.
This is Exactly What We’re All About… Helping People Just Like YOU Improve Your Quality of Life and Discover Brand New Energy You’ve Had All Along with a Simple Step-by-Step System.

Jo Ann Bloodgood

lindaJo Ann Bloodgood has faced her share of physical challenges—by pass surgery, two knee replacements, spinal fusions and Parkinson’s Disease. She knows that she must exercise routinely and she has faithfully done so for over five years at Miracles Fitness one of our facilities.

joann galapagos picShe had a long-suppressed desire to visit the Galapagos Islands, but when the opportunity arose she had valid doubts. Could she do it at age 80? The trip literature warned that it was a strenuous trip. Participants must be able to climb in and out of small Zodiac boats and must be able to walk over a mile if they wanted to see and enjoy the unique and fearless creatures that inhabit the islands.

Dr. Dan encouraged her to start slowly and gradually build up her strength and endurance, working on balance and stair climbing among other things.

Success! Jo Ann was able to do everything she wished to do on the trip. As proof, she shows off her dashing picture with her husband and of a Blue-footed Booby which was so close, she could have touched it while it was oblivious of the picture taker.
Linda Corbin

lindaI retired in July of 2011. I am loving retirement , but I also knew that I needed to keep busy. Now it is time to do some things I wanted to, but never took the time.

Probably 75% of people make a resolution to get in shape by eating healthy and exercising more, in January 2012, I decided to do the same.

I joined Miracles Fitness and to my surprise I really loved it. I have dieted and exercised on and off my whole life (more off than on in the last 20 years).

The trainers are absolutely awesome! I look forward to going and working out. These are words that I never thought would come out of my mouth! The workouts have encouraged me to watch my food intake as well.

One of the things I was really determined to do was, as that “65” came closer and closer, to not be on a bunch of pills. It seems like you start on one medication and more just keep getting added. My blood pressure was borderline 148/78. I have been a member for just three short months and it is down to 120/80.

I would be the last person in the world to say I can’t miss my workout and now I am thrilled to say it and totally mean every word.

Now I arrange my schedule, for the most part, around my workout times. I have earned it and I want to be able to continue to be healthy.

As mothers and grandomothers, we have a right to be selfish and take this time for ourselves… everyone benefits! Miracles is a good name for the fitness center because I truly think it is a Miracle that is has become such a big part of my life!

And they aren’t the only ones:

photo“Adventure travel is our passion. As seniors, personal training at Miracles Fitness has made possible what heretofore only younger bodies dared to try. In fact, we had to get special permission to hike on this glacier here in Los Glaciares National Park in Patagonia since the “rules” don’t allow anyone over 65 out on the ice. In spite of the steep pitches and dangerous footing, our personal training made the glacier hike, while challenging, very doable– as well as a lifetime memory. We think personal training has added at least a decade to our adventure travel careers.”

While crossing Alaska my brother and I would constantly be impressed by the image of Denali, the highest peak in North America, which seemed to challenge us each time we were in its vicinity. Eventually, my brother decided he needed to face that challenge. He had plenty of others – dealing with cancer as a young man and then the after effects of radiation which weakened his heart. He decided to put a climb together composed of cancer survivors. I decided I should go along to push myself physically and mentally and support what I felt was a very worthwhile cause. The climb was quite the adventure and my brother and I shared the exhilaration of standing together on the summit of one of the worlds most impressive mountains. I survived but realized I had been fortunate. I considered some other peaks, but really had been satisfied with my Denali effort and was not looking for another alpine adventure.

My daughter however, thought otherwise. A group of acquaintances of hers had decided to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. Again I felt an obligation to accompany a family member and keep them out of trouble while I shared the experience and supported a worthy cause. This time however, I felt I needed a bit more guidance in preparation for climbing another 20,000 foot peak in equatorial Africa. This is where Miracles Fitness and their staff came to my aid.

I still felt I had the ability and the reserves to attempt this climb, but the last thing I wanted was to be unprepared. I was able to work with several of their training staff, all of whom were knowledgeable and thorough. I tried to work out three times a week at Miracles and then additional days on my own. But I found I would not push myself enough on my own and required the ‘encouragement’ of my trainers to make the progress I needed. Mary Ehresman,in particular, seemed to take a special interest in my effort. Ultimately, I was able to keep up with the kids who made up the climbing party and shared another summit experience with my daughter on the top of Africa.

Finally, we have the opportunity to bring the blueprint we use with our own clients directly to you.
