That person has a basic idea of what his or her fitness goals are. They also know the basics of working out, or at least they think they do. They do all the different exercises they see other people at the gym doing, so they must be doing something right. And, even though is seems like a lot of work, they are starting to see some results from their efforts. So why would they need a personal trainer? Well, as a personal trainers, we know that the exercises that most people do at the fitness center are usually performed with the wrong form, which can lead to injury. We also know that many people tend to use much heavier weights than they should because that's what they were always

2 taught. And we also know that a person get far greater results than they ever imagined by performing the right exercise program in the right way, and usually not have to work as hard for those results. A personal trainer's job is to know how to accomplish the best results in the shortest amount of time. Our job is to take our clients' results to the next level. Well the same holds true for why a personal trainer needs to work with a Fitness Business Consultant. When you start your fitness business you will probably do what all of the other personal trainers are doing. Offer the same services, charge the same amount per session, market your business in the same way and work with your clients in basically the same way. You do all the things that other personal trainers do, so you must be doing something right. And, even though it seems like a lot of work, you are starting to see some results from you efforts. So why would you need a Fitness Business Consultant? Well, since I am also a Fitness Business Consultant, I know that most of what the majority of personal trainers are doing to build their fitness business just doesn't work.

How,to,Get,Affordable,Health,Insurance,in,Virginia In order to obtain affordable health insurance in Virginia, you must become a smart, conscientious consumer. Take these tips into consideration before you commit yourself to any health insurance program in Virginia. Avoid scams. Insurance fraud can go both ways; not all health insurance companies or agents have your best interest in mind. Many health insurance companies or agents are interested only in obtaining money from you. These companies are usually fly-by-night companies. To avoid these scams, contact the Virginia Bureau of Insurance and ask if the health insurance company in question is licensed to do business in Virginia. If not, move on. If so, you will be protected against fraud should the company scam you. Be aware of what you are purchasing. If the company or agent tells you it health insurance, it health insurance. If the company or agent tells you it a health care savings or discount plan, it not insurance. The two are not the same, so if you are looking for affordable health insurance in Virginia, you do not want to purchase a discount plan. Discount plans may help you save money, but they do not provide the same coverage as insurance plans. Pay the Virginia health insurance company. Paying the insurance company directly and requesting a receipt helps you protect yourself and your health insurance coverage. If the Virginia health insurance agent does not want you to send payment directly to the health insurance company, you should contact the health insurance company immediately. Take note of the way the health insurance is purchased. It is possible to find affordable health insurance in Virginia via the Internet, telephone, and radio, television, and newspaper advertisements, but the very solid and reputable health insurance companies do not usually try to attract customers with flashy gimmicks. Keep your eyes and ears open for showy and loud advertisements, and take caution with those health insurance companies that use them. Title: The History of NordicTrack - The Famed Fitness Giant 609 Learn the history of the famed Fitness Giant Nordictrack from it's humble beginings as a unique

4 trainer for champion cross country skier's to it's current status as the leader in fitness equipment. nordictrack, nordic track treadmills, nordic track 搊 NordicTrack began in 1975 under the name PSI NordicTrack Inc. by Edward Pauls in Chaska, Minnesota. Pauls designed ski boots for Rosemount, Inc. based in Minnesota. Pauls had studied mechanical engineering, and when the Rosemark Firm closed in 1969 he began to focus wholly on his own inventions. He designed and patented utrigger?skis for handicapped skiers. During a wet and nasty training session the idea for the NordicTrack ski machine was designed, according to Forbes Magazine. Pauls was an avid cross country skier, and he believed that he could duplicate the motion indoors so that others may train every month of the year. He then teamed up with national collegiate cross-country skiing champion and daughter Terri so that she may train with a device all year around and gain an edge against her competition. His design paired wooden skis with a patented fly wheel and one way clutch mechanism. After serious interest in his new product, he then invested his own money and began manufacturing the NordicTrack cross-country skier. In 1986, after careful management from Ed Pauls and a national fitness craze, the family run business had an annual revenue of $15 Million a year. At this time Pails was either going to grow larger, or sell. When Charles M. Leighton, of the CML Group, Inc. offered him $24 Million for the NordicTrack Company, Pauls sold. According to the agreement, Pauls would receive 7 million shares of CML stock, and a five year employment contract that would name Edward Pauls and his wife Chairman and Senior Vice President. When the company was bought by CML, NordicTrack was still only producing the skier, and Leighton wanted to diversify. In the early 1990 NordicTrack introduced the NordicPower and the Executive Power Chair. In the Early 1990 NordicTrack was booming with the introduction of retail stores and Factory Direct showrooms that offered all of the NordicTrack lines with considerable discounts. In 1993 stock began to drop, and the company began to experience a decline in sales. The Company then responded to the drop with a change in upper management personnel. The second half of 1995, CML stock fell 60%. The introduction of other fitness equipment had replaced the popularity. After several new products were introduced such as the Ellipse and Abworks sales still did not swing upward. In 1997 NordicTrack made an agreement with Sears to sell their Brand at all of the 850 retail locations. At this time, Sears was the largest retailer of fitness equipment in the United States. Despite the major changes, sales in 1997 were continuing to decline. In 1999 ICON Health and Fitness acquired NordicTrack and developed a premium line of home fitness equipment. NordicTrack is now owned by the same company that owns some of the most well recognized names in the fitness industry, such as Weslo, Healthrider, Reebok, Epic and Proform. NordicTrack continues to be a leader in fitness technology, and continues to introduce new products.

5 In 2006, NordicTrack introduced the Elite 3200 TV treadmill that includes the ifit workout programmable cards that allow the user to realize their fitness goals in a more enjoyable manor. Also introduced in 06?the Audiostrider elliptical that provides motivational music and coaching from a certified personal trainer. In 2007, NordicTrack introduced Reflex Deck Treadmill. The Reflex deck is an arc shaped deck that reduces impact on the joints by 36%. Also introduced in 2007, the new PT3 strength system that offers audio and visual support for strength training in the users home for those that enjoy Free Motion Cablecross machines in their clubs.
