A Great Opportunity from Fitness 4 Home Superstore

Hello All!

I’m writing today to tell you about an opportunity that just came up at Fitness 4 Home Superstore. This is a rare occasion so I hope that you, your clients, friends, family and business associates can take advantage of it.

As you know, we have a Fitness 4 Home Superstore location in Glendale, Arizona. There has been a lot of new construction going in there and it’s really affecting our business! In fact, many new buildings have gone up right in front of our Glendale store and it affected our visibility. Because of this, we have decided to elect out of the lease.

In the meantime, we’re merging our Glendale location in with our Scottsdale location until we can find a more suitable space. Here’s where your opportunity comes into play…

To be honest, it's a pain in the you-know-what to move an entire store filled with inventory! I would much rather take a hit on the price than I would move all of that equipment to a new location. So, I’ve decided to offer HUGE discounts on the floor units. And that’s not even the best part!

You won't even have to go to Glendale to get the discount. All you have to do is give me a call and we can meet at my store in Tempe. We have the same inventory in Tempe that we have in Glendale, so you’ll be able to see what’s available. If you find something you like, we will deliver it to you from the Glendale floor!

Just a couple of notes… please call me directly as I am the only person who can authorize such big discounts. My contact information is included below. This is, without question, the best deal around and a one-time opportunity. We are already selling through floor models quickly so don’t wait forever. Get some new fitness equipment at a great price while it’s still available!

Hope to hear from you soon.

In Health,

Exercising When You’re Sick from Fitness 4 Home Superstore:

It’s no secret that this year’s flu season has been one of the worst ever. The average adult suffers from one to six colds each year and about two-thirds of them are usually upper respiratory infections. Many people wonder if working out when they’re sick has any affect on the severity or length of their cold.

Most experts recommend that if your symptoms are above the neck and you have no fever, it’s probably safe to perform basic exercise. Intensive exercise, however, should be postponed until a few days after cold symptoms have disappeared. If you’re suffering from a severe cold that shows flu-like symptoms such as a fever, extreme tiredness, aching muscles and/or swollen lymph glands, then you should wait at least two weeks before you resume intensive exercise.

In some cases, there are things that you can do to prevent a cold so you can keep your fitness program on track. Here are some tips that help you fight off the flu:

• Eat a well-balanced diet. The immune system depends on many vitamins and minerals for optimal function. A good rule is to eat 10-15 calories per pound of your desired body weight. If your ideal weight is 120 lbs, then consume 1,200-1,800 calories a day (1,200 for sedentary individuals and 1,800 for extremely active people.)
• Avoid rapid weight loss. As the old saying goes, “Feed a cold, starve a fever!” Low-calorie diets, long-term fasting and rapid weight loss have been shown to weaken your immune system.
• Obtain adequate sleep. Major sleep disruption (e.g., three hours less than normal) has been linked to immune suppression. Experts suggest that you try to get at least 8 hours of sleep each night.
• Avoid over-exercising and chronic fatigue. Keep vigorous workouts and race events as far apart as possible. Stay within your limits and don’t push beyond your ability to recover.
• Wash your hands frequently. Washing your hands with soap and hot water is often your best prevention method.
• Avoid putting your hands near your eyes, nose or mouth. Most bacteria and germs are spread from a surface to your hands, then to your face - not by air.
• Get a flu shot. Do this especially if you have a weakened immune system.
• Drink more water. In the fall and winter, it is easy to overlook your thirst and get dehydrated. Make sure you consume a minimum of 8 glasses a day.
• Continue a moderate exercise program. Try to maintain a consistent exercise routine but don’t over-do it. And remember, if you’re suffering from flu-like symptoms, try to wait until they’re over before you go all out.
• Limit alcohol intake. Alcohol can be dehydrating which, in turn, may decrease your resistance to bacteria.
• Let yourself rest. If you are less than 100% you will feel better and recover faster if you let yourself rest.

Diet - Southwestern Wraps

Sometimes, finding something quick and easy for lunch can be a real hassle. Here’s a recipe for something you can throw together in just a few minutes that’s healthy and tastes great: Southwestern Wraps!

Ingredients:

1 C. tomatoes, diced
1 ½ T. fresh cilantro, choped
4 fat-free 10” flour tortillas
1 C. low-fat black bean dip
1 C. chopped lettuce
½ C. finely shredded cheddar cheese
¼ C. reduced-fat sour cream

Warm tortillas two at a time in microwave by placing between a paper towel and heating on high for 20 seconds.

Transfer the black bean dip from its package into a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Stir to make sure the dip is heated through.

Fold the sides and the bottom of the tortilla up over the filling, then roll to close. Garnish with 1 T. sour cream and 2 T. salsa. Repeat with the remaining tortillas and serve immediately.
