BioExercise™ Total Body Tune-Up©2018 Kataqua & WECOACH 1 #260 – BioExercise™ Total Body Tune-Up Presented by: Laurie Denomme, BKin, FAFS WaterExerciseCoach.com What separates a good workout from a truly unforgettable exercise experience? Meet BioExercise™ -- an innovative new way to stimulate neuroplasticity through combined physical and cognitive challenges. What is BioExercise™? BioExercise™ is an innovative new program that is grounded in science, exploding with ways to move the body, and engages all the senses. Combined activities for the body and mind improve total body functionality. Who is BioExercise™ for? The comprehensive approach makes BioExercise™ especially beneficial for people over 50. With age, changes to vision, hearing and muscle tone can be expected. Thankfully, an active lifestyle can help slow these changes and improve muscle strength, bone density and balance (even at an older age). Did you know that the brain needs to be worked, too? Just as physical exercise is designed to strengthen the heart and muscles, mental exercise helps maintain a fit and flexible mind. BioExercise™ provides both physical and mental exercises for improved physical and cognitive health. How does BioExercise™ work? 1. Purposeful physical exercises move the body in ways that are natural. 2. Brain boosters stimulate new thinking, problem solving and other cerebral functions. 3. Personalized programming using target practice and individualized working intensity.
