Learn Celebrity Fitness Trainer, Jay Blahnik's Secret Weapons for Getting Fit Fast!
The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television Reveals the Author's Favorite Fitness Machine

(Pompano Beach, FL - April 20, 2009) - If you're looking for an exercise program that will get the job done, stop talking and start moving. The Balancing Act on Lifetime Television will show women how to "step up" to a complete body workout. The show features Celebrity Trainer Jay Blahnik, author of "Full Body Flexibility" and fitness expert for the LA Times, who will reveal his "secret weapons" for total body fitness. The segment will air May 6th and can also be viewed at thebalancingact.com/nautilus.

"This is my first weapon," says Blahnik. "The Bowflex TreadClimber cardio machine. It combines three calorie blasting movements into one activity. It offers the best features of a TreadClimber, which gets your heart rate up and burns calories, with a stair climber which is great for the gluts - and an elliptical. It gives you an extremely effective workout with low-impact motion that's easy on your joints."

Tune into the show to learn about Blahnik's second secret weapon, but always keep in mind before jumping into an exercise program, make sure to define your goals. Do you want to lose weight, strengthen your muscles or just look and feel healthier and more energetic in general?

"Regardless of your goal, get moving," says Blahnik. "Here's a basic rule of thumb: strive for a quality workout a minimum of three days a week, 30 minutes per session. In just 90 minutes a week, you can get impressive benefits right at home."

That's another plus, he says. The equipment is right in your house, eliminating the need to drive to and from a fitness center. You get it all -- without paying membership dues."

"For women, this is a great way to build a regular workout program into their busy lives," says Doug Campbell, Executive VP of Programming for BrandStar Entertainment, the producers of The Balancing Act. "We appreciate the chance to guide viewers to a healthier lifestyle."
