PILATES WITH A PUNCH <br />
To many Pilates is a slow-paced technique-focused workout of a<br />
series of movements to elongate muscles, strengthen the core and<br />
enhance flexibility. Although this is all true, don’t think that Pilates<br />
can’t pack a punch. With her signature classes Cardio Circuit Reformer<br />
and Power Charge Max, Naomi Lowit owner of Nomi Pilates has<br />
created fast-paced classes that give you all the benefits of Pilates plus<br />
some additional heart rate activity. Lowit definitely puts her students<br />
through the paces; but with her in your corner, your body will get<br />
stronger, longer and leaner sooner rather than later.<br />
Nomi Pilates is located at 2104 NE 125 th Street, North Miami,<br />

FAT FREE DIET<br />
With his specialty in medical weight-loss, Dr. Bo<br />
Rosenblat was determined to find a diet that would<br />
literally fight fat. According to Dr. Bo, obesity is<br />
actually caused by an imbalance of hormones. So,<br />
through a combination of taking the bio-identical<br />
hormone HCG and only eating 500 calories per day,<br />
Dr. Bo has developed a diet that helps the body focus<br />
on breaking down fat in order to get its necessary<br />
energy source. During the 30-day program there is<br />
a great deal of behavioral modification, nutritional<br />
education and counseling to ensure that after the month-long program you will be able to maintain<br />
your weight-loss. Dr. Bo Rosenblat’s office is located at 12333 NW 18 th Street, Suite 2, Pembroke<br />

SHOW SOME SKIN<br />
Many think of the month of May as the unofficial<br />
start to <strong>summer</strong>; however, it is also melanoma<br />
awareness month. The reality is that although we<br />
all think we look better with a tan, melanomas<br />
are prevalent in women between the ages of 20<br />
to 30 because of tanning beds and excessive sun<br />
exposure. Every May, Horwitz Dermatology offers<br />
free ten minute head-to-toe skin cancer screenings.<br />
To receive your free examination, call and make an<br />
appointment. Horwitz Dermatology is located<br />
at 2999 NE 191 st Street, aventura, 305.933.1151,<br />
