Weight Loss Resource Launches Information and Recipe Filled Web Site

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) August 25, 2006

With so many web sites offering great information on weight loss, dieting, and losing weight, it can often be hard to surf through all the various information. This was the motivation behind Guaranteed-Weight-Loss.net.

The new weight loss resource has search many locations to find the best information on dieting, exercise, losing weight, and even has such useful resources as quick weight loss recipes and an ingredient glossary. While other sites exist, the developers of the weight loss guide have spent many hours on the project to insure that the visitors have a clean informational resource.

Whereas other weight loss informational sites are flooded with pop ups, syndicated pay per click ads, and other items that may discourage visitors, Weight-Loss-Guaranteed.net has selected one weight loss company to advertise for and only does so with product placement and banners. All advertisements are placed in organized areas and compliment rather than hinder the visitor’s experience. They also guaranteed a “non pop-up”, “no pop-under”, “no layer ad” experience.

It was of the belief of the developers of the weight loss guide that other web sites used too many RSS and XML syndications in their web site. Thus, Guaranteed-Weight-Loss.net has included the majority of their information by having a team of volunteers add and update the articles, exercises, and recipes rather than pulling all the information through a syndication feed. The only exception is in the weight loss news section of the site and an article feed from Isnares.

HCG Diet Direct

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) October 29, 2010

HCG Diet Direct publishes tip sheets on weight loss and diets in celebration of PTA healthy lifestyles month this November. PTA’s healthy lifestyles month is meant to increase awareness and availability of necessary information and tools to decrease the instance of childhood obesity in America. It is vital that children come to school healthy (physically and emotionally) so they can reach their maximum learning potential.

National PTA is committed to providing what is needed to build healthy families and healthy communities. They work towards providing parents, schools and communities with the support and resources that they need.

HCG Diet Direct’s Dr. J. Ronald Willis said, “We felt it was important for us to take notice of the PTA’s efforts to increase the awareness of childhood obesity through Healthy Lifestyles month because one of the major indications that a child will experience childhood obesity is the presence of obesity in one or both parents. Appropriate knowledge of weight loss and diets is necessary in today’s social environment.”

HCG Diet Direct consistently publishes helpful articles and videos to provide individuals with the information they need to maximize their weight loss and diets in order to reach a healthy weight and enjoy a healthy lifestyle. As PTA Healthy Lifestyle Month continues, HCG Diet Direct will add frequent articles and videos to their online library to encourage active weight loss amongst the overweight and/or obese population.

One of the most popular and frequently accessed publications are tip sheets. Tip sheets published by HCG Diet Direct range from tips on maximizing weight loss and diets to tips on incorporating flavor rich foods into VLCD diets to tips on sticking to a diet during social occasions.

Homeopathic HCG weight loss formula is a rapid weight loss diet that can be used to achieve drastic weight loss without invasive procedures and with no known HCG diet side effects. It is one of the most healthy diets for weight loss. When dieters buy HCG they follow the included protocol. Oral HCG drops are taken three times daily and paired with a careful eating plan. The results of the standard 26-30 day program can provide an average of 1 to 2 pounds of weight loss per day.

HCG Diet Direct Aids Dieters in Maintaining Healthy Weight and Diet: Two of the 4 Lifestyle Factors that Can Offer 80% Decrease in Risk of Common and Deadly Diseases

Phoenix, AZ (Vocus) August 18, 2009

HCG Diet Direct is in the business of aiding obese and overweight individuals as they work to obtain a healthier weight. The diet is based on the effects of regular use of homeopathic HCG drops, B12, and a daily caloric intake of 500 calories per day. The program has proven successful in changing the lifestyle habits of overweight and obese individuals. After successful completion of the program most are able to maintain a healthy weight and most have developed new, healthy eating habits.

Healthy weight and healthy eating habits are 2 of the 4 lifestyle habits that, together, reduce the risk of common and deadly diseases by 80% according to a report included in the August 10/24 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine (a JAMA/Archives Journal). The other two major lifestyle habits lauded by the report were: never smoking and exercising.

Jenny Boynton of HCG Diet Direct said, “The recent report suggested that healthy lifestyle habits can go a long way in preventing cardiovascular disease, cancer AND diabetes. The issue of weight is more than just visual; it’s either healthy or it’s not. We try to get people to a healthy weight not just so they can be happy and wear a smaller size, but hopefully so they can be healthy and live longer.”

HCG Diet Direct aids individuals as they reach for a healthy weight and learn to maintain it through proper dieting. The program’s weight maintenance success rate is high and past clients offer positive feedback in regards to their new healthy eating habits.

Health Club takes to the Outdoors with New Running Clubs

Running Club

(PRWeb UK) July 22, 2010

Virgin Active Health Clubs has launched Running Clubs at its 71 fitness centres across the UK. Inspired by the Virgin London and Brighton marathons, thousands of their health club members are taking to the streets, parks and tracks across the UK every week, making their surroundings into their gym for a fun, effective workout.

Completely free to members of Virgin Active Health Clubs, Running Club sessions are timetabled alongside other weekly gym classes but take place outside of the health clubs themselves, allowing members to keep fit in the open air. Small groups of health club members simply meet at the appointed time and a Personal Trainer or Fitness Coach then leads the group on a running session around the area of their local fitness centre.

Running Clubs start with 5K routes, and are carried out weekly for 6 weeks, meaning stamina is built up and times are recorded in order to track development as the course goes on. As the health club members progress, different running techniques are introduced to further aid and maximise improvements to their times.

There are also 5K sessions for intermediate runners which also follow a 6 week schedule. Thereafter, health club members can choose to progress to run 10K. In addition, there is an 8 week plan for these runners and for advanced runners, as well as gym-goers training specifically for charity runs and races. There is an ‘improvement’ phase for post-10k.

Commenting on the newest fitness initiative from Virgin Active Health Clubs, Gillian Reeves – National Group Exercise Manager said: “Running is a fantastic way to improve general cardiovascular fitness and is a really enjoyable way to workout. Running Clubs have the benefit of offering the motivation and social aspect that exercising in a group offers. Running outdoors, coupled with interval training on a treadmill, is hugely effective as the body experiences different types of motion and terrain which will build stamina and fitness.

With the summer weather, I’m sure that running outdoors, coupled with the added benefit of a professional fitness instructor, will be a big hit with our health club members.”
