Fitness Opportunity

As any of you who are familiar with our philosophy at Expanding Wellness Chiropractic Center already know, physical fitness is an ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL aspect of one's lifestyle. The importance of this point cannot be overemphasized or overstated. We are always looking for new ways to help people add healthy physical activity into their lives, so I was excited to learn about the Juice Plus 90 Day Fitness Effect.

This special program gives you one more incentive to participate in regular physical activity.

Here is how it works:

Juice Plus+® - Take Juice Plus+® as recommended every day!
Juice Plus+® provides added whole food based nutrition from 17 different fruits, vegetables, and grains in convenient and inexpensive capsule form. It has been clinically documented in published, peer-reviewed research to help support your immune system, reduce oxidative stress, help protect your DNA, and impact key indicators of cardiovascular wellness. These are important attributes of good health to everyone, of course, but especially for those who exercise.

90 Day - Combine great nutrition with regular exercise by eating Juice Plus+® and exercising at least 30 minutes a day – 5 days a week. What kind of exercise should you do? That’s easy: the one that you will do! As long as you are physically active – whether it’s a comprehensive workout routine or a daily walk – it counts towards your 30 minutes.

Fitness Effect - We believe that eating Juice Plus+® in combination with regular exercise over a 90 day period will create a noticeable “fitness effect” in you. Being both healthy AND fit can open a whole new world for you! You’ll be able to do more things, do them better – and, ultimately, do them longer into your life.

Take the Juice Plus+® Fitness Effect Survey at the end of your 90 days.

The "fitness effect" that each individual will experience obviously varies depending on a number of factors, including your particular exercise regimen, the overall healthfulness of your diet, and your level of fitness at the beginning of the 90 days. I will walk you through a brief survey at the end of your 90 days to help you evaluate this. We’ll pose questions like: how well you’re sleeping, what your energy levels are like, whether you’ve noticed any change in eating habits, or the amount of water you’re drinking.

Often people experience a reduction in various symptoms, and because they aren’t present any longer the benefit may not always be perceived. We’ll try to help you to start thinking more about your health and fitness and, as a result, become more aware of the state your body is in. When you complete the Juice Plus+® 90 Day Fitness Effect and become eligible for an added reward!

Health and fitness are great rewards in and of themselves, of course. But we’re prepared to “sweeten the pot” by giving you either a complimentary two-month supply of Juice Plus+ Vineyard Blend® (added whole food based nutrition from nine different berries and grapes) or 30 servings of Juice Plus+ Complete® (whole food based nutrition in the form of a meal replacement drink) once you complete our 90-day program.


To make participation in this program EVEN EASIER, we now have personal training available at our location! Call (847) 824-0222 to get started today!
