Listen at the Gym and Become Slimmer, Fitter, Healthier, Pain-Free, More Sexually Vital, and Achieve Sleek, Toned Abs in Just 6 Weeks no comments
New York, NY (PRWEB) February 1, 2006
The blockbuster New York Times bestseller, THE ABS DIET is now available on audio CD. Exercise photo gallery and meal plans on enhanced CD.
Abs — they?re the contemporary badge of fitness; the ultimate predictor of a person?s health; the one part of the body that boosts sex appeal in both men and women; and, they?re not just for athletes, bodybuilders, models, or the Governor of California anymore! You could spend (or may have already spent) years searching for those elusive stomach muscles, moving from one failed weight-loss attempt to the next. Or, you could follow David Zinczenko?s proven plan which has already helped thousands achieve a lean waistline in record time.
In THE ABS DIET: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life (Gildan Audio; 4 CDs/approx. 4 hours; January 2006; $ 19.98 US; $ 26.98 Canada), Zinczenko details how you can strip away up to 20 pounds of fat from your body (starting with your belly) and gain abs, muscle tone, better health, and a great sex life ? significantly changing the shape of your body in the process. And, because study after study shows that people with the largest waist sizes are at the most risk for such killers as heart disease and diabetes, this breakthrough plan will do something more than enhance your life; it?s going to help save it.
As the editor in chief of Men?s Health magazine, David Zinczenko analyzes health and fitness information the way brokers analyze the market. In THE ABS DIET, he draws on that knowledge to outline a sensible, sacrifice-free program for losing your gut and packing on muscle. Using the most cutting-edge nutrition and exercise research, it is designed to help you lose weight in the easiest possible ways: by recalibrating your body?s internal fat-burning furnace, focusing on the foods that trigger your body to start shedding flab, and rebuilding you into a lean, mean, fat-burning machine.
THE ABS DIET revolves around ? but doesn?t restrict you to ? 12 ?Powerfoods? that are among the best sources for protein, fiber, and all the other ingredients that help fight fat by boosting your body?s metabolism. By constantly keeping your body?s natural calorie-burning fires stoked ? three meals and three snacks a day ? with lots and lots of the right foods, you?ll soon be burning additional calories 24/7. Imagine that: Every time you eat, you help your body lose weight and turn flab into abs!
THE ABS DIET also includes a convenient exercise plan that doesn?t kick-in until the third week of the program. This simple, 20-minute workout, based on strength and interval training performed three times a week, maximizes weight loss, helps burn fat long after you?ve left the gym, and builds lean muscle tissue. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more energy it takes to fuel it ? meaning that calories go to sustaining your muscles rather than converting to an inner tube of fat around your middle. It?s amazing: For every pound of muscle you gain, your resting metabolic rate goes up as much as 50 calories a day.

HealthFitness Adds More Than 25 Clients as Employers Adopt 21st Century Health Benefit Design no comments
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) February 1, 2008
HealthFitness (OTC BB: HFIT) added more than 25 new clients in 2007, growing its workplace population health programs with a vision for a healthier, more productive workforce. HealthFitness is a leading provider of employee health management programs. Managing more than 400 fitness centers globally, the company also offers a suite of health management services on-site, Web-based and telephonically.
The lion?s share of new contracts in 2007 was in the company?s health management division. HealthFitness championed a new emphasis on 21st century health benefit design that takes a holistic approach to designing benefits for the entire employee population?from fitness programs for those who are well, to health management programs for those who are at low to high risk for chronic disease. New clients included health plans and universities in addition to employers in the manufacturing, high tech and health provider sectors.
?The vision for 21st century health benefit design provides tools so employers can support a workplace culture of health,? said Gregg O. Lehman, Ph.D., president and CEO of HealthFitness. ?The traditional focus on providing services only for those who are ill ignores the poor health habits that put workers at risk for chronic disease. By providing tools to address preventable behaviors such as poor diet, physical inactivity and tobacco use early, employers can help employees lead healthier, more productive lives.?
Employers who embrace Lehman?s vision of 21st century benefit design can expect to see improvements in the bottom line. A study released in late 2007 by the National Business Group on Health and Watson Wyatt Worldwide reported that companies with highly effective health and productivity programs are 3.5 times as likely to report lower medical costs; are more likely to report declines in incidental sick pay, short- and long-term disability costs; and are much more likely to have lower incidences of paid and unpaid leave.
In 2007, more than 150,000 employees nationwide participated in health risk assessments (HRAs) administered by HealthFitness and nearly half a million participants are currently eligible to take a HealthFitness HRA. Some 77,000 participated in company health screenings conducted by HealthFitness across nearly 1,200 locations. After receiving their confidential HRA results from HealthFitness, participants are prompted to take part in health management programs designed to reduce their individual health risks.
?Steady growth in the health management division is a signal that employers and health plans recognize the benefits of addressing health needs before they become acute,? Lehman said. ?HealthFitness is responsive to the needs of this market for health risk prevention programs as more studies underscore the connection between chronic illness and productivity.?
