Hello. I'm Carole Maggio. Welcome to my monthly newsletter. I've received so many world wide requests from clients for ongoing, up to date tips on facial fitness and body care that I feel a monthly newsletter is the most effective tool in communicating cutting edge information on this subject. I've been teaching Facercise exercises one on one for over 30 years. In the mid 1995 era, when my first book came out, my office was swamped with calls and questions about the exercises which had become, overnight, a world wide sensation. Since then I have personally face trained thousands of clients face to face, but I have many millions of clients who have learned to FACERCISE from my books and DVD's.

Since I have recently initiated FACERCISE ON THE WEB (FOTW), I realize now, more than ever, that each person learns differently and each person's face has unique areas of concern. While the book and the DVD are excellent beginning training tools, they cannot, by themselves, create the perfect environment for maximum benefits because of the following:

The book doesn't allow the client to learn the timing and tempo of the exercises or see the facial movements in real time. While the client who utilizes my DVD is able  to master the timing and tempo, that client is still unable to master the exact nuance of the exercises.  This is because the client is unable to see the small, subtle movement of each muscle as they progress through the exercises.  The wonderful thing about FOTW is that I can see the client's face and they can see mine and it's real one on one training, just as though I were there teaching the client in person.  As a corolary, just because a person goes to a gym and lifts weights on their own doesn't mean they are lifting correctly.  A personal trainer makes all the difference in the world in a weight training regimen and the same is true for a face training regimen.

I teach exercises specifically designed to address the individual client's facial needs. Face to face, I can immediately correct any mistakes I see being made and because of this, the client gets maximum benefits from the exercises. The client learns to do exercises specifically designed to address their individual needs. I also make a CD of the training lesson for the client's daily use. HEY, IF YOU'RE EXERCISING YOUR FACE FOR 15 MINUTES A DAY NOW, YOUR RESULTS WILL BE MUCH MORE DRAMATIC IF YOU SIGN UP FOR A FACERCISE ON THE WEB CLASS.

The one hour private class for a FACERCISE ON THE WEB training session is $200.00. To utilize these web sessions, you would need a web cam or a MAC computer. We connect via SKYPE.

I always tell people my age (62) when we begin the web classes because I want people to see for themselves that although you can't help getting older, you don't have to look older. That's been my mantra for the last 30 years. Who says you can't have it all?

UP IN ARMS - THE NEW BATTLE OF THE BULGE

There is a new arms race brewing these days and it's not the one you immediately think of. Vera Wang, in the August 2008 edition of Vogue magazine, says the new arms race can effect even young women . This is a race to develop a solution for the flabby armpit. As we age, the skin directly in front of the arm pits starts to morph into a flabby thing that hangs out over a strapless gown in all its total, redundant grossness. It's not a pretty sight and these abominations definitely get bigger as we age. So, what can you do about these unwanted, uninvited body additions? You can continue vigorous dry brushing, using my No Lipo Lipo dry brushing technique. This armpit area is an area which is included in the No Lipo Lipo drybrushing technique and we've had tremendous success in halting the growth of these unsightly additions, which Vogue magazine calls "gludgeons". I call them ugly.

My sissal louffa mitts from Germany are the very best mitts available anywhere at any price. If you are not dry brushing daily with one of these mitts, you should be. To order one of these gludgeon busters, please visit my webstore.

Hi, Carole,

I purchased your book/DVD about 12 years ago and have done the FACERCISES somewhat regularly, while watching TV, sometimes lying in bed while dealing with with an occasional bout of insomnia. Why not use the time for something productive?

I am 46 years old and taking college classes to become an EMT. In these classes, as we practice patient assessments, we have to estimate the patient's age, each student taking turns being patients and EMT's,

In one group session, the other students, who are in their early to mid 20's, were trying to guess my age. They all finally decided that my age was 32.

It made me feel pretty good to know I must look about 14 years younger than I actually am. And, it's motivation to continue these exercises. Thanks for your work.

Wishing you continued success.

Hi,

Just thought you would be interested in seeing how I looked last year, turning 60 in May, 2007, I still look the same this year.

In fact, last month my dermatologist asked me to teach her my face exercises because she thought I was using botox-she does and she's 64.

I have been doing facercise exercises for approximately 20 years on and off. The last three years I have been doing them every day. So you can see, they work!!! No one takes me for my age, they think I'm in my mid to late 40?s.

Thank you, Carole Maggio, for the great face exercises you share.
