I am an OB-GYN in
practice for thirty years. There have always been questions posed to me
regarding ways to keep in shape…ways to deal with PMS...ways to cope
with menopause…and ways to regain or maintain sexuality. It has been
only recently that I have found a program that I feel confident in that
can help with all of these issues. Don’t laugh now….belly dancing. If
you did, it is exactly the first response I have gotten from most of my
patients that are now singing my praises.
Let me address each of the above common problems and why belly dancing can help. Belly dancing both builds and tones muscles as well as makes them more limber and flexible. Increased active muscle mass burns more calories also so that not only will losing weight be easier but losing inches will as well. But getting in shape only happens if you persist and work hard at it. Your program can’t be a burden….it has to be a burst of fun. Belly dancing is just that. All of my patients that have gotten into SHAYNA'S SOLUTION love it and can’t believe how much fun they have working out and how exhilarating the hour is.
PMS has many symptoms but most can be helped with belly dancing. I have always recommended my patients exercise regularly... especially for the two weeks prior to their menses. I suggest they work up a sweat for twenty minutes every day. A common response is who has the time to go to a gym every day. Since I have worked with SHAYNA'S SOLUTION the response has an answer for once my patients have learned the basic moves all they need to do is turn on the music and dance for twenty minutes. Is is easy, fun, and fast. Endorphins …a natural body morphine…are formed with your workout and many of the PMS symptoms are helped. SHAYNA'S SOLUTION has a very easy to follow diet program with it so that the low fat and heavy hydration program helps get rid of the uncomfortable bloating also. The “blues” are always helped with exercise and a sense of feeling good about yourself and this belly dancing program certainly brings that to fruition.
I see many patients entering into menopause or are already there and I have always looked for ways to help them get through it. SHAYNA'S SOLUTION is a major help. Menopause to Shayna is just another stage of life. it is a time to blossom and enjoy the fruits that you have sown along the way. It is not an end….it is a beginning. I have had so many patients who have viewed the program as a rebirth. A rejuvenation of their bodies, minds and spirits. The dance is for women and indeed these many patients who come in feeling like they are losing their female presence find solace in this gift of dance. And in most instances this is accompanied by better sleep, less hot flushes, better mental focus and a more firm and useful body.
Sexuality is important at all ages. It is a major part of a woman’s psyche and its loss can often begin the descent into a rocky road of life. My first advice to women who seek advice regarding their libido or sexuality is that to be sexy you have to feel sexy. Think romantic thoughts…do romantic things…kindle the feelings have felt but lost for whatever reason. Most of the time this is not a hormonal thing…it is a life thing. The habit of thinking of yourself as a sexual being and the acts of making yourself feel that way have been thrown aside to make room for life’s daily responsibilities. That is why I have found so many patients helped by SHAYNA'S SOLUTION. The belly dance is a dance created by women for women. The movements are sensual and the blood flow back to the pelvic area not only helps the pelvic organs get back in shape but restarts the messages to the brain that I am a woman and I feel like a woman. And nothing is more sexy for a woman than to be in control of her body and feel confident with herself…..and from that comes sensuality.
I have been very happy with the feedback from all of the patients that I have referred to SHAYNA'S SOLUTION. At all ages they have gotten a great deal from the program…and all have had a great time getting there.
