Get In Tune With A Better Workout!
As I sit here today writing this column, I am listening to music. When I drive around town doing my chores, I am listening to music. When I work out… well, you get the point.
Music makes the things we do a little better. In some cases, it makes them a lot better. Take workouts for example. I know you absolutely LOVE hearing my voice as you walk the walk to a better shape and a lighter weight. But once you've sweated to one of my great workouts 50 times or so, you no longer need to hear my words of encouragement and instruction – they're burned into your mind.
That's where a good bass-thumping, energy sparking workout tape comes in handy.
And lucky for you, we've been working with some experts in the field to develop a 3-tape series of sensational new walk CDs that will add even more enjoyment to your fitness experience. This is music to walk to when you are outdoors, in a mall, on a treadmill... or use it with your in-home walking. Plug into the body-pulsing beat wherever you have access to a CD player! My new tapes cover 1-mile, 2-mile and 3-mile walks.
I LOVE to WALK to the BEAT! And I know you will enjoy it too. It's the SPEED you NEED to be sure that you are walking fast enough to burn those calories! There's no more guessing, “Am I walking brisk enough?" Now you just Walk to the Beat and slim that body!
 Music is sooooo motivating... and there are scientific studies that prove those that enjoy music with their workouts, enjoy exercise more and you don't quit as soon as when you work out without music.
Music is the BEST tool to keep the pace. It helps you ensure your workout moves brisk enough to provide all the great health benefits! Music lifts your spirit. You start singing. You're smiling. All of a sudden -- WOW! -- the workout is done! You're more prone to lose track of time and you'll enjoy exercise even more when there's a tune accompanying your workout. Yes, it really can happen!
These new music CD's are now available in our store. Be sure to grab a few copies for yourself and maybe a couple more for your exercises buddies! Who knows, these tapes might even motivate a couch potato to get movin'!

BONUS TRACK: How Music Can Make a Workout Better
by Raphael Calzadilla, BA, CPT, ACE
eDiets.com Chief Fitness Pro
Tuning out the noise in the gym is one of the real great things about listening to music while working out. Throw on a pair of head phones with your favorite tunes and you can really increase your focus. It's almost like an adrenaline rush.
I use an MP3 player and download all the music that tends to gets me revved. There is no way you can't respond to it. Think about it – if it gets you revved when you listen to it in your car, think of the effect that it will have when you're performing cardio or weight training. The music will help you to literally go the extra mile or lift the extra rep or bang out the extra set. You'll start challenging yourself.
Take those head phones and you'll see what I mean. The entire atmosphere undergoes a change. I experience it in my workouts. If I take the head phones off even momentarily, the world of the gym seems sleepy and non-motivating. Plus I get the added bonus of listening to my favorite music, not the music the gym plays.
Even just a change of songs on an MP3 player from one workout to the next can have a profound effect on the quality of a workout.
Thanks Raphael! So, are you ready to fine-tune your workout with music? If so, a great place to start are the new tapes created exclusively for Leslie and her wonderful followers! Remember, there are three versions – one each for your 1-mile, 2-mile and 3-mile workouts. If you need a little boost to keep you moving in the light direction, these new tapes are music to your ears! |

 What's In Store For December!
Where has the year gone? December is looming as large as Santa's jelly belly! Sure the days are shorter, but December is a great month to discover how the “short” walks can keep you on track without that dreaded holiday weight gain.
Go ahead… enjoy the party foods but don't eliminate your walks. Simply shorten them up a little to better fit your super busy schedule! We know it's a busy month even for those of you who don't celebrate a holiday. So let's all try for a more balanced approach this year. We've got a triple play of great products to offer this month: the Power Mile and Muscle Mile workouts (in either DVD or VHS format), and our nifty advanced 3-lb. weighted balls for one super low price of $24.95.
YES, THAT'S THE RIGHT PRICE… FOR ALL THREE! The weights, a gorgeous-looking yellow color, are a handful but you'll feel those muscles much more quickly when you incorporate them into your walking workouts.
And by ordering the 3-lb. balls for the $24.95 price, we are throwing in the workout tapes – it's a proven 1-2-3 punch that's guaranteed to knock out your weight and energy woes! The special one-mile walks can be done quickly and effectively first thing in the morning, so you can spend your day concentrating on work (yuck!), holidays (yay!) and family (yes!) the rest of your waking hours. We've all got a shopping list a mile long. When you combine that with your never-ending to-do list… well, you get the point. A short workout is not only a nice thing – it's a MUST!
The 3-lb. balls are one of our most-effective workout boosters. We call them boosters because that's what they do – they boost the quality of your workout. Three pounds may not sound like a lot, but when combined with an arm-pumping walking workout, the weights will tone and tighten even the flabbiest of arm muscles fast! Go to the store page for more information and a sweet deal on these special products! At the shamefully low price of $24.95, It's truly an offer you can't refuse! Click Here to Buy Now! |
