#1 Problem with the Female Muscular System and How to Avoid It
There are between 650 and 850 muscles in a woman’s body.
Think about that….
Now think about the number of women who lead a sedentary lifestyle. Women who don’t get proper muscle stimulation and conditioning… (same thing goes for men too)
When we are sedentary, the muscles waste away. They “deflate” and become atrophied (shrink and get weaker – and more prone to injury)
When all those muscles become atrophied – it makes body composition worse. Meaning, the percentage of body-fat rises dramatically above the percentage of valuable muscle tissue.
And this creates a negative cascade effect.
1 – metabolism gets knocked out of whack
2 – weight gain keeps creeping higher and higher
3 – aches and pains keep increasing as time progresses
4 – balance and stability are sacrificed and we become more prone to falls
5 – energy drops lower and lower
6 – we lose coordination and agility
7 – mental clarity decreases and we get ‘foggy’ and forgetful
8 – risk of disease increases (diabetes, osteoporosis, heart failure, alzheimers, etc)
9 – depression, dementia, drop in self-confidence – all result from physical de-conditioning
These are all signs and symptoms of premature aging and early onset disease – which really means a shorter and less fulfilling life.
Simple.
“If you don’t use it – you LOSE IT.”
The saying is 100% true…
When we have so much to live for, so many people who love us and want us to be around and be strong and capable – why do people let themselves go??
It’s the strangest thing, really.
The good news is – it doesn’t take a whole lot to get into a proper routine of smart exercise that gently stimulates all the muscles of the body to negate atrophy and fend off all the ill effects that result in a sedentary lifestlyle.
BUT – we have to do the right thing.
.
We can’t be doing crazy workouts that feel like punishment and torture.
We can be doing things that actually put our muscles, bones, nerves, tendons and ligaments at risk. That just makes no sense.
But what makes all the sense in the world is following a properly structured, simple and enjoyable fitness program that nurtures and trains the body the way nature intended it to be…
Low-impact, focused intensity natural body-movement exercise is the best way for women to get all the amazing benefits without the risk of injury and without the brutality that is being touted in the masse media and by all the extreme fitness fanatics…
There’s no need for that when you have something designed by Exercise Physiologists, based on proven science and not fueled by sill myths and “gym folklore”…
And that’s what we do at the SCULPTAFIT Studio of St Johns & Mandarin, FL – we deliver what YOU need.
If you want to come in for a friendly Studio tour and even try a session or two – just call or text Nikki at 904-891-3680
And we’re quite sure you’ll be writing something like this before you know it:
In health, wellness and longevity,

SCULPTAFIT Presentation at Keiser University
A few months ago, Ryan Fairall (PhD, CSCS, EP-C, CES) reached out to us from Keiser University’s Jacksonville Campus…
He’s the Sports Medicine & Fitness Technology Program Director at the University and he wanted to explore externship/internship opportunities for his students…
And thus started what is shaping up to be a mutually beneficial relationship between SCULPTAFIT and the progressive Health/Fitness Degree program at Keiser.
He asked if we’d be interested in coming to speak with his students about our unique position in the health/fitness industry and why/how we chose to take an unconventional approach in helping people get fit and healthy.
His main intention was to expand the thinking of his students to look beyond what already exists, and think about what still might need to be created and/or grown in the fitness industry to start reaching more and more people who need realistic and sustainable ways of wellness.
The video above dives deeper. So, enjoy and please do share it with anyone you wish…
And if you’re interested in taking proper care of your personal health, wellness and longevity – please reach out to Nikki at 904-891-3680 (call or text) to see if she can get you in for a Complimentary Sample Session and a pleasant Studio Tour.

Gentle Fitness Program Helps Alexis Travel the Galapagos with Full Enjoyment
Below is a post from yet another one of our fantastic clients, Alexis.
She posted while traveling because of how overjoyed she was about how only 2 months of gentle fitness training improved so many things for her, making this latest trip one of the best yet…
Her reference to “DIBS” is an acronym we use here for “Days In Between SCULPTAFIT”, which helps everyone stay on track with enjoyable, fulfilling exercise activity on the days they are not in the Studio for a session.
“FIT to Travel the World”
After Alexis posted that in the private client group zone, Nikki asked her if we could use it on the blog and if she’d like to add more details to the post, so other women could see what is possible when you find the right fitness program designed for a woman who wants to get the most out of life…

“Trip of a Lifetime Enhanced”
My bucket list trip to the magical Galapagos Islands could not have been as enjoyable without my newfound strength, stamina and flexibility courtesy of my two months at SCULPTAFIT.
As a 64 year old woman, I knew that the trip would be challenging, BUT here is how my time at SCULPTAFIT has helped:
– Walking briskly through airports and small towns
– Lifting luggage into overhead compartments
– Walking up and down multiple flights of stairs daily (the ship did not have an elevator)
– Stamina on 1-2 mile hikes on uneven ground
– Balance on walks on lava rocks and different kinds of sands
– Transfers onto transport rafts multiple times per day
– Snorkeling moves for one hour at a time
– Kneeling and squatting to get a closer look at the impossibly beautiful and unique wildlife
And NO pain.. NO discomfort!
Thank you SCULPTAFIT Coaches!

A Unique Style of Exercise That Spans Multiple Ages, Fitness Levels and Goals
As word continues to spread, more and more women are finding us and “getting on their program”… And as we get busier with all these new local ladies making their health and wellness a BIG priority – we are slowly expanding our Stellar Coaching Team…
Last month I introduced you to Coach “T” and today I’m introducing you to Coach Krista. She is going to be a Co-Coach/Sub and then maybe more, once her kids’ schedules shift up a bit in the future…
As you know, our process for finding Amazing coaches involves the prospective coach coming in for a full class session and then writing back to us about her experience. What comes back to us in some of those emails is so insightful and so impactful that it’s silly for us not to share it with you…
So, here is what Coach Krista wrote back to us after her first session during the interview process last month:

To: Nikki
Hello Nikki,
Thank you for getting me into a class today. It was very different and gave me a great “workout”!
I liked the slower pace that made my muscles activate for a longer period of time and really made me concentrate on what I was doing, not what everyone else was going. I also like that it’s a truly unique way of working out that is low impact and helps to eliminate many stresses on the body.
This is a unique style of exercise that spans multiple ages from young to mature!
The women in the class were a pleasure to meet and it is great that they all have their own reasons for being there and are working towards their own individual goals. The way that the class is set up allows them to push themselves towards accomplishing those goals without feeling that they have to compete with others.
I think that setup allows them to trust the coach involved as well the process along the way.
When I coach youth athletics I have made it a priority to get to know my players and find a little something that can help me relate with each of them on some level.
I enjoyed listening to Coach MaryAnne as she talked with each of the ladies about some aspect of their lives, it reminded me a great deal of what I have done during my own coaching.
Helping people accomplish their goals and getting to know them on a personal level along the way. The smaller class atmosphere really encourages that connection.
I have noticed that most women seek a comfort when making a decision to trust someone with their goals, I do that myself.
You have created an atmosphere that lets women feel comfortable and helps them reach their goals without all the stress of a regular gym and all the machines. This would be a great place to be a part of!
Thank you and Coach MaryAnne again for the “workout”. I really enjoyed it along with meeting you and getting to talk with you a bit.
Have a great day and end to your week and I look forward to hearing from you.
Krista

Krista is now part of the Coaching Team here, in the onboarding/training phase, at the time of this post, and moving forward quickly…
After her second session, she was already talking about all the other local women she knows who “need to be in here, and doing this method of unique exercise” because of all the benefits it brings WITHOUT all the agony, risks and pains….

To: Nikki
Cc: Maryanne
Good Morning, Nikki!
It was lovely meeting you last week. As mentioned at that time, I definitely enjoyed my first SCULPTAFIT experience!
I’m a huge fan of mindful movement, there was no doubt that my mind, body and spirit enjoyed and appreciated the experience, including moving from station to station and trying out some very cool and unique equipment. (I love the equipment.) 🙂
Coach MaryAnne was WONDERFUL with instructing and guiding me into the correct alignment and such. I appreciated having her there to help!!
There are many benefits to participating in small private group classes, and I enjoyed the group energy that was shared in class last Monday. But I also realized the one-to-one attention I was getting as well. Very comforting.
The slow-and-mindful gentle movements that make up the SCULPTAFIT style, undoubtedly, align with the way I prefer to exercise. And although I exercise often, I could feel that “something special” — a sense of immediate toning and stimulation in my body — soon after class.
The feeling lingered throughout the day and even into the next day. While I’m not sure of what the best description is to explain that after-class feeling, once you feel it, you just know it!! You can feel you did something great for your body!
I’ve been in the fitness field for quite some time and I can surely say you guys are onto something incredibly special, effective and totally unique that so many women will benefit from, something I’d love to be a part of.
Have a wonderful day and week!
In Health,
Tammy
