PHOTO: Deborah Barry, Wordspecs Speaking Professionally (continued from previous page) Do you worry about osteoporosis or bone density loss? Are normal agerelated changes in balance and muscle strength prohibiting you from maintaining an active lifestyle? Are you physically impaired from performing moderate or vigorous exercise? Are you training for athletic competition? (Are we asking too many questions?) If the answer to any of these is “yes,” you should investigate the rejuvenating benefits of Power-Plate training! Power-Plate training is a form of whole-body vibration, a neuromuscular training method that uses a low-to-moderate vibration stimulus to improve strength and power. The theory is that these vibrations stimulate the body’s natural stretch reflex and cause involuntary muscle contractions, similar to when a doctor taps your lower knee. These vibrations activate a natural reflex of rapid muscle contractions at 35 times per second, releasing pleasurable hormones at a rate much faster than from conventional exercise. Power-Plate works best combined with a traditional exercise program, but for those who cannot exercise, it offers health benefits such as increased bone density, greater muscle strength and power, improved balance and a slowing of age-related bone and muscle loss. “Sessions are short and affordable, and progress can be seen almost immediately,” reports Elline Eliasoff, an American College of Sports Medicine Exercise Specialist, Personal Trainer and Massage Therapist and owner of Elite Personal Training. You can contact Elline at 847-962-9155. To learn more about the Power-Plate and schedule an evaluation with a Power-Plate certified trainer: Ann Connor at Fitness Plus, 847-432-8121 or Sandy Saldano at Therapeutic Kneads, 847-266-0131. Sandy is shown � demonstrating Power-Plate to Rick Shoemaker of Rick’s Auto Care. We have to take just a moment to salute the husband-and-wife team that has devoted an almost full-time effort to this magazine, Deborah and Al Barry � —a magnificent labor of love. six00threefive has gone way beyond anything even the most ambitious Highland Park promoters could ever have envisioned! Nobody told Deborah to magically turn an 8-page Chamber bulletin into a slick, award-winning, 48-page energy boost. Sixteen issues later, this magazine has done more to aid more HP businesses than any of us could have dreamed. Al, who is an independent sales representative for manufacturers, has tirelessly pounded the local pavements selling ads to finance this publication. Advertising is what supports the constantly impressive columns and features that Deborah compiles with the loyal help of the Publication Group (see page 1 for a complete list) and mostly volunteer writers and photographers. We had nothing more to start with than a local pledge to help cover any shortfall. But what resulted has been an amazingly classy magazine with one purpose: to drive customers and clients to Highland Park businesses. This columnist salutes the Barrys and my colleagues in the Publication Group for raising the bar on Chamber publications everywhere! Bravo!
