In the midst of Healthy Weight Week, businesses such as San Diego-based VQ ActionCare are taking note. Developer of the patented, award-winning, at-home exercise system for mature adults, the Resistance Chair®, VQ ActionCare sees Healthy Weight Week as a simple reminder of the weight loss and maintenance successes its customers experience year-round.

“New Year’s resolutions come and go, but the Resistance Chair® truly changes lives!” said Andrew Siminoff, Media Director at VQ ActionCare.

A Personal Story: At 73 years old, Louise Geary Crawford of Georgia was told by her doctor that losing weight just wasn’t a possibility at her age. It wasn’t that Louise just wanted to be thin; she longed for flexibility and more energy to keep up with her three careers as an ICU nurse, a real estate agent, and the owner of the health foods store, Apple A Day. She wanted to be able to walk properties with her real estate clients and prove to her customers at the health food store that proper diet and exercise can keep you fit and healthy.

Despite an already balanced diet, Louise decided to try several diet programs. They didn’t make a difference. She used dumbbells. No change there. Louise finally turned to a product she saw on TV: the Resistance Chair®. Four months and 46 pounds later, Louise admits “it was not difficult” to lose the weight. She notes that resistance training has been neglected and, for most women, it’s really the key in sculpting the body and losing weight.

Louise has not only lost nearly 50 pounds, she’s also lowered her cholesterol by 20 points and improved her bone density levels. “The Resistance Exercise is the best thing to take off weight, and it’s great for the cardiovascular and respiratory system. I have more energy and my pants are almost falling off of me now!”
