BStrong4Life™ System Core4© Upper Body Press

Woodridge, IL (PRWEB) May 04, 2011

In the U.S. today, an estimated 10 million people suffer from osteoporosis and an estimated 34 million have low bone density, placing them at increased risk for osteopenia, osteoporosis and broken bones. The U.S. Surgeon General Report recommends regular weight-bearing and muscle-strengthening exercises to prevent and treat osteoporosis. BStrong4Life™ is a revolutionary new system designed to safely increase muscular strength, improve bone density, balance, coordination, and postural, structural stability, regardless of your age or conditioning level. What’s more, the BStrong4Life™ System accomplishes this in the most efficient way possible, requiring as little as 20 minutes of time per week.

The BStrong4Life™ System is a unique combination of technologies – bioDensity™, Power Plate® and the application of hands-on clinical biomechanics. The BStrong4Life™ System consists of a warm-up and the Core4©, which includes four comprehensive isometric exercises; the upper-body press, lower-body press, core pull and whole body vertical lift.

Since the user generates all the force, there is less chance of injury, when compared to traditional weight training exercises, which makes it a good option for any age or fitness level, including those recovering from injury, at risk of osteopenia, or those diagnosed with osteoporosis. In addition, BStrong4Life™ measures and records each force output using unique computer technology. Increases in physical conditioning are recorded, tracked, and stored using real-time data and visual feedback is provided to the user throughout each session.

Dr. Perry Cammisa, co-founder of BStrong4Life™, explains that in order to prevent and possibly reverse osteoporosis, the body requires a maximum load on muscular-skeletal systems. “In just 20 seconds the entire neuro-musculoskeletal system receives 100% stimulation. I like to call it ’the 20 second advantage’. It’s because of the technology and science behind BStrong4Life™ that these efforts can help improve overall health and fitness and prevent or reverse osteoporosis.”

“In the short amount of time that BStrong4Life™ has been around, we have received the attention of orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, hospital staff and primary care doctors. They’ve seen first-hand how people suffering from osteoporosis are finding BStrong4Life™ an exceptional treatment option,” said Dr. Cammisa.

Dr. Scott Heun, also a co-founder, states, “This system offers a safe, drug free and efficient system to address the effects of a sedentary lifestyle, and the resultant loss of core strength, but also the fundamental structure and function of the human frame in an unprecedented way.”

An 89-year-old woman, who uses the BStrong4Life™, suffered from poor balance, lack of coordination, poor stability and muscular weakness to support her structure. After using BStrong4Life™ for three months, her results showed a 77% increase in overall body strength. She now has the strength to climb stairs due to increased muscle strength and improved bone density. She has a decreased risk of falls and potential fractures.

BStrong4Life™ is currently available in health facilities located in Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and West Virginia, with plans to expand to facilities across the country. To find out how you can offer the BStrong4Life™ System at your health center or workout facility, or to find a BStrong4Life™ center near you, visit http://www.bstrong4life.com.

Chiropractors, physicians, orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, assisted living facilities and other health care or fitness facilities interested in offering the BStrong4Life™ System, are encouraged to attend the free introductory events held throughout the year. The next scheduled event is the weekend of May 13. For more information visit http://www.bstrong4life.com/workshops or contact David Pritt at 866-515-4907 extension 4.

Ross, CA (PRWEB) December 14, 2011

2011 was a banner year for Brian Pilcher. After earning three medals at the World Masters Athletics Track and Field Championships, he won the U.S. National Masters Track Championship in both the 5,000 and 10,000-meters for men 55 – 59 and then clocked a record-setting 1:12:52 half marathon last month. Now his eyes are set on the Houston Marathon in January where he will make his first attempt to break the American record in the marathon for men 55 and older.

Pilcher exploded onto the Masters running scene just a few years ago and was named USATF and Running Times 2009 Runner of the Year for Men 50-54. His meteoric rise came to a screeching halt in March of 2010 when pain in his hips stopped him from running at all. Doctors determined that Brian had lost the cartilage in his hip and his pain was coming from the bones rubbing together. He underwent surgery to shave down the bones in both hips and anchor the labrum back in place. It was a success, but knee issues soon followed and Brian found himself unable to run for even five minutes. Frustrated with this new reality, Brian searched for alternatives and discovered the ElliptiGO.

Designed by runners, the ElliptiGO is the first outdoor fitness device specifically designed to emulate the running motion. It allows athletes of all levels to get a high-intensity workout without experiencing the repetitive impact of running. Healthy athletes and injured athletes alike have found it the most effective way to get an outdoor running experience without the usual pounding on their bodies, and it has quickly become the tool of choice for a number of 2012 Olympic hopefuls and competitive Masters runners.

For Brian, the key was that he didn’t feel his hip or knee pain when he rode the ElliptiGO, so he could get his training done even while injured. “I refused to sit and wait for fate to heal my knee; to run again,” he explains. “I enjoyed riding the ElliptiGO and it kept me healthy psychologically because I was able to get in a solid workout. That’s key for any athlete suffering from an injury.”

After several months of riding, it became clear that the benefits for Pilcher weren’t only psychological. His bodywork therapist, Anita Acevedo, began to notice significant changes in his body. “What truly amazed me was that his rib cage and upper torso became more upright and in alignment, and his core strength and posture dramatically improved,” Acevedo explained. “Structurally, the ElliptiGO helped Brian become stronger in both his legs and his lungs.”

“Brian Pilcher’s story really exemplifies what we hear from both recreational users and elite athletes every day,” said Bryan Pate, Co-Founder and Co-President of ElliptiGO. “The ElliptiGO allows them to get in a high-quality workout, but without the pain they’re accustomed to experiencing in high-impact activities. It’s particularly powerful as a unique way for former runners and injured athletes to exercise again with real intensity, which makes a profound impact on their quality of life.”

After thousands of miles on the ElliptiGO, Brian began to work running back into his life and the results were remarkable. Only nine weeks after being cleared to run again, he finished third overall in the Dipsea Race, one the nation’s most grueling trail races. The following month, Brian went on to earn three medals at the World Masters Athletics Track and Field Championships and became the 2011 U.S. National Track Champion in the 5K and 10K for men 55 – 59. “I had a huge base of miles on the ElliptiGO, which really helped maintain my fitness until I could heal enough to run competitively again,” Pilcher explained. “I’m eager to see how much more I can improve my times now that I’ve integrated the ElliptiGO into my training program.”

As if to prove his point, in November of 2011, Brian took 1st in his age group and 5th overall at the World Championships of Elliptical Biking, posting the fastest time ever for someone over 50. He followed that performance up with a 1:12:52 half-marathon, entering the record books with the 10th fastest half-marathon ever run by a 55-year old.    

“We are so pleased to be an integral, ongoing part of Brian’s story and look forward to seeing what he will do at the Houston Marathon in January,” said Pate. “It looks like he’s got a really good shot at setting an American record in the marathon for his age group and I’m planning to be there to see him do it.”

The ElliptiGO is available for sale at http://www.elliptigo.com and at specialty bike or fitness stores in ElliptiGO’s national dealer network.
