The owners of MAKE IT FIT™, an online fitness and wellness resource, are helping all Mississippians begin building healthier lifestyles in 2009 by donating their services for almost nothing. Principals Stacy Bick and Rebecca Johnson are offering all residents of the Magnolia state an annual membership to www.youcanmakeitfit.com for only 99 cents if they sign up during the hours of 8am to 8pm on Tuesday, January 6, 2009. Residents who log onto the site on “Make Mississippi Fit Day” and sign up for the virtually free membership will immediately have access to a large library of streaming fitness videos, podcasts, and printable workouts, along with other nutrition and weight management tools. These tools provide the user with an excellent opportunity to exercise at home, in the office, or on the road, all on their own schedule, with experienced fitness professionals.

“A membership to MAKE IT FIT™ is normally priced at $14.95 per month,” said Principal Stacy Bick.  “Offering it almost free to an entire state is an unprecedented event for us, but one we feel is essential to our ultimate goal of helping Americans improve their physical fitness and better manage their weight.”

“We are also offering the businesses and corporations in Mississippi a special discount for signing up for MAKE IT FIT™ Corporate plans,” said Rebecca Johnson, co-owner and principal of MAKE IT FIT™.  “We have unique corporate packages that provide an affordable way for companies to include MAKE IT FIT™ in their employee wellness programs, thereby keeping employees more physically fit and reducing costs related to productivity and healthcare.” 

The idea for “Make Mississippi Fit Day” stemmed from the recent news out of the Center for Disease Control ranking the Magnolia state as the heaviest U.S. state for the third consecutive year.

“We want to help the people who need our service the most, and what better time to do it than at the start of a New Year,” said Bick.  “We hope that all Mississippians who take advantage of our service will find it helpful in keeping them motivated to achieve those New Year’s resolutions to lose weight and live healthier lifestyles.” 

In the site’s Family and Travel sections, MAKE IT FIT™ members will also find ways to get their families active and to stay fit while traveling. These include kids’ programs, classes designed to be done in a hotel room and podcasts for “on the go” workouts. There are classes and workouts suited for all fitness levels, including currently sedentary or very overweight individuals. Early in 2009, MAKE IT FIT™ will add a structured Beginner’s Program that will guide those new to exercise through a several-month progression designed to help them gradually add more activity into their lives in a way that is suitable for their fitness level.

“The country is going through a tough time of national economic struggle which makes it difficult for many people to pay for a gym membership or hire a personal trainer to guide and motivate them through the uphill battle of weight loss,” said Johnson.  “We truly hope that we can reach thousands of people in Mississippi through this campaign to help them start off the year on a healthy note for a price that everyone can certainly afford right now.”

For more information on MAKE IT FIT™, visit the website or call (727) 415-4070. To take advantage of the 99 cent offer to all Mississippi residents, simply log onto www.youcanmakeitfit.com on Tuesday, Jan. 6, 2009 between the hours of 8am and 8pm CST and click on the Make Mississippi Fit Day link on the home page.

Fitness for Kids

Obesity among children has reached epidemic levels: one in every five children and adolescents in the U.S. is overweight. Sedentary habits, such as video games and prolonged computer use, along with increases in fast-food diets, have placed today’s kids at risk. Beyond the long-term physical and medical consequences of obesity, the psychological impact — peer pressure, discrimination and the like — can leave life-long emotional scars.

Regular physical activity is integral to addressing these risks, as well as encouraging healthy living as early as possible. A small investment in time and energy can produce life-long results.

The Fitness King has made a personal commitment to promote physical fitness as a daily routine for children of all ages. He has made countless volunteer appearances before school groups and events to promote daily exercise, nutrition and healthy lifestyles.

Zach Hunt asked:

ss in the Spokane Valley, WA area is a growing trend

Hit Fitness , or High Intensity Training, is a fitness system built around a unique combination of science and sport.

Hit Fitness is definably an “alternative” way to personal fitness, but it is a method that is worthy of a look.

What Will I Really Be Doing In HIT Fitness?

Hit Fitness combines a unique combination of typical fitness along with sporting elements, such as the practice of Fencing or Kenpo.

Some of the activities that are included in Hit Fitness include:

*Fencing

*Kenpo

*Self-Defense

*Personal Fitness

*Other Sporting Activities

The types of activities that you participate in depends on the type of Hit Fitness Spokane program that you join.

Different instructors of the Hit Fitness way have different methods. Regardless of the methods that your fitness coach uses to teach you Hit Fitness, you will experience a unique exercise technique that will benefit your body more than a traditional fitness plan can accomplish.

Hit Fitness Sporting Events

Participating in sporting events in the Hit Fitness program is a big part of your training. The sporting events not only help you reach your fitness goals more quickly but can be used later on as well.

Sounds Fun. What Does Hit Fitness Spokane Concentrate On? Well, the Hit Fitness program is quite the unusual exercise system. The Hit Fitness program focuses on the following aspects of the fitness world:

Anaerobic Threshold Balance Body Composition Strength VO2 Max (maximal oxygen consumption)

Hit Fitness Anaerobic Threshold

A basic definition of the Hit Fitness Anaerobic Threshold is that it occurs when muscles “burn” glucose without the use of Oxygen. Anaerobic Threshold is ideal for those who need that short extra burst in their life. On the flip side, Anaerobic Threshold would not be ideal for a distance runner.

Hit Fitness Balance

Another important part of the Hit Fitness way is the aspect of balance. A majority of people who participate in the Hit Fitness exercise plan are athletes. These people require a great amount of agility and balance to succeed at what they do best. By having great balance, you can even increase the efficiency of your Spokane workout.

Hit Fitness Body Composition

Hit Fitness Body Composition is a way of describing the percentage of bone, fat, and muscle in your body. The Hit Fitness Spokane system puts a lot of attention on the aspect of body composition, as it is vital to balance the mass percentages of bone, fat, and muscle in ones body.

Hit Fitness Strength

Hit Fitness works with your overall body strength. Since the Spokane Hit Fitness way of exercise revolves around sporting activities, it is important to have strength as it will give you the opportunity to push your body to the next level.

Hit Fitness VO2 Max

What is VO2 Max? Basically, VO2 Max is another meaning for the maximal amount of oxygen consumption. It plays a very important role in Hit Fitness as your VO2 Max directly determines how physically fit you are. Each person has a different VO2 Max. The max can be included over time through Hit Fitness Spokane WA exercises.

So, is Hit Fitness Right For You? Spokane Hit Fitness is not right for everyone. If you are athletic, then you should definably consider the Hit Fitness way of exercise. If you are interested in starting on a Hit Fitness exercise plan, you should speak to your local fitness coach today to see if such a program is offered.

Ken Ericsson asked:

Health and fitness go together, just like milk and cookie, cake and tea, coffee and cream. They make a great team – one that can help us live a longer and better life. Thus, it is essential that we find out as much as we can about how to stay healthy and fit, a task that many people should not but take for granted.

These days, you can notice a number of negative changes in the world we live in. The air isn’t is as clean and clear as it once was centuries ago, the water contaminated in many parts of the globe, the forests destroyed and nearly bare. Our way of living isn’t as pure as we need it to be, and technological advancements, many though they may be, cannot save us from the consequences of our own actions. As the earth continues to deteriorate, so do the threats to our health and fitness keep on growing. It is up to us to do something about it, and it is our responsibility to ensure the well being not only of our own selves but also that of future generations.

And so we should pay attention and patronize activities that promote health and fitness. When it comes to staying healthy and fit, one of the most common concepts involved is proper diet. The number of obesity cases continue to rise every year, particularly in North America, and contrary to what products marketed as weight loss solutions claim, pills or supplements cannot put an end to obesity and other weight-related problems. Instead of relying on advertising baloney, we should create a plan made of tried and tested methods and do everything we can to achieve our goals. One of the best ways to go about this is to make a personalized menu. Every human anatomy is different; your body’s needs are different from mine. Consulting a nutritionist is a good idea; he or she can tell us which foods to avoid (excessive eating of oily and fatty foods is always a no-no) and which to stock up on (good carbs, lean protein, fruits and vegetables, and grains, to name a few). Commitment is necessary, as well as patience; it can take weeks before our bodies adjust.

Proper diet alone cannot assure our health and fitness. We also need regular exercise. There are different kinds of exercise, but one type of training that is considered all-encompassing by health experts is cardiovascular training. Exercises that fall under this category can be used not only to lose weight but also to build muscles, in addition to its primary purpose of strengthening one’s cardiovascular functions. With or without exercise equipment, we can perform cardiovascular training exercises. Simple activities and sports such as walking, sprinting, jogging, running, cycling or biking, swimming, and many others are common forms of cardiovascular training.

Some people tend to overdo things. This is why many of us feel incredibly tired at the end of the day. This is where adequate rest and sleep enter the picture. It is equally important that, while we stay active, we also give our body ample time to recharge and rejuvenate. This way, we can enjoy all our activities better, stay focused for longer periods of time, and feel young and vibrant always. Aside from this, we should also try to maintain a sunny disposition, something that seems so simple yet can do so much. By being happy, we can fight off stress – a known cause of a number of diseases and disorders – and live life beautifully.

Bedros Keuilian asked:

If you really want to get a message across about your fitness business, you need to create a fitness info product. This can be an audio program or a video of some sort. You may even find that creating something such as an eBook could make a great instructional tool for those wishing to become more physically fit.

However, you have to make sure you create it quick. Actually 30 days or less is the ideal period of time in which you should create your fitness info product.

The elements of a fitness info product

Your fitness info product is informational. It has information in it that your customers need, but you can’t give away the prize. You have to make them want more when they get to the end so that they will buy any other fitness info products that you have, and ultimately get into your personal training program.

So here are the things that your fitness info product needs to have:

• An introduction that tells the customer what is in it for them. You have to identify their pain by telling them what the problem is they are trying to solve. You then have to tell them that you have the solution.

• You then have to tell your customer throughout your fitness info product what it is they need to do to have a better life. You can present them with tips and even instruct them in some of the things that they need to do.

• Make sure you don’t give away the ultimate prize in the end. Let them know that there is more to having the ultimate lifestyle. If they like what they have received so far, they will look to you for even more answers regarding how to improve their lifestyle.

• In the end, you provide them with the option to acquire more fitness info products. Each product can touch on a different area. That is a great way to make them want more.

Types of fitness info products

So if you want to create your fitness info product in 30 days or less, it is important for you to think about what sort of product you are making. Here are three of the most common fitness info products you may make:

• An eBook – An eBook is a great way to instruct people on how to improve their lifestyle. Some individuals prefer an eBook over an audio recording or a video. They would rather read at their own pace and follow the tips in the book as they go.

• The audio product – An audio product is something that can be created in a day and processed in less than a week. As a matter of fact, this makes a great fitness info product for the fact that you can create a series within 30 days. Individuals will download these and play them on their iPods, play them in their cars, and so much more.

• The video product – A video product is also a fitness info product that can be created in a short period of time. You can actually create a short video series within your 30 days. At the end of each one, make the customer want more so that they will purchase the next video. You can show various demonstrations in your videos and can cover a wide range of topics. Just make sure you are not too revealing.

Use one or all of these to help you create a great fitness info product in 30 days or less. You could have yourself an empire that supplements your income before you know it.
