A Convenient New Fitness Tool Endorsed by Best Selling Author and Celebrity
Trainer, Kathy Kaehler ... Make FLOW Part of Your New Year's Resolution for
Work-Life Balance
MIAMI, Jan. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- You don't have to back away from the
computer to take a break. In fact, your computer will help you enjoy quick
five minute workouts throughout your day! With FLOW you can burn calories and
lose weight while remaining in your seat. The over consuming schedules of
modern day business life make it almost impossible to find the time to
exercise throughout the workday. In addition, over-reliance on technology has
dramatically limited our daily physical activity, and sitting for long hours
in one position can increase the risk of becoming overweight and developing
osteoporosis, cardiovascular problems, diabetes, and musculoskeletal problems.
Now, thanks to FLOW software program, this much needed daily physical activity
has become available to everyone. FLOW is a convenient and indispensable new
tool for anyone desk bound during the work week.
The FLOW program is endorsed by best selling author and celebrity trainer,
Kathy Kaehler. This fitness guru has worked with celebrities such as Julia
Roberts, Michelle Pheiffer, Cindy Crawford, Lisa Marie Presley, Denise
Richards, Claudia Schiffer, Kim Basinger and most recently Kim Kardashian.
Kathy is always looking for the latest in fitness tools and was instantly
attracted to FLOW for the convenience it provides. She feels that "if working
out at home or at a gym is impossible, then an office workout is crucial since
many Americans work long hours sitting at desks with very limited physical
activity."
FLOW recently received the National Health & Wellness Club Member Tested &
Recommended Seal of Approval and further information can be found in the
March/April 2008 issue of Today's Health & Wellness magazine.
What is FLOW?
The FLOW workout program provides seven five-minute video exercises to be
performed while sitting at a desk. Complete with a "virtual coach" and a
nutrition center, FLOW contains all the elements that help you stay on track
to a healthier body. With the program, you also have access to tons of
inspiring affirmations that promote the healthier lifestyle and daily
reminders that fuel your self confidence and determination, even in the midst
of a stressful workday.
Your pre-set exercise intervals (15 min, 30 min., one-hour, two-hours)
will pop-up on a screen throughout your workday, inviting you to do
"sit-exercises." You can engage in as many five-minute exercise sessions as
you like throughout the day. All exercises are conveniently designed to be
performed in a sitting position at your desk and cover all the major muscle
groups including chest, abdominal, biceps/triceps, shoulders, back, legs and
full body stretching.
If you are on a diet, FLOW can help maintain your motivation to eat
properly through motivational messages, ensuring you stay on track and eat
healthy.
Why is FLOW so Important to Modern Day Life?
FLOW is a very timely tool that has come to the business world because of
the severe consequences of modern sedentary lifestyles (i.e. sitting at a
computer all day). The lack of physical activity during the day is leading to
the development of such health problems as: hearth disease, diabetes, high
blood pressure, weight gain, muscular-skeletal problems, repetitive movement
injuries, and depression and anxiety.
The founder/creator of FLOW, Dr. Renee Nasajon (Florida licensed
psychologist) describes FLOW as, "a program that facilitates the circulation
of blood, elevates the oxygenation of your brain, releases tension from your
muscles, gives you a greater capacity for concentration, creates a better
mood, and decreases cravings for sweets, caffeine, and tobacco." By initiating
several spurts of physical activity throughout the day, FLOW helps to
automatically increase your mental alertness and physical energy, while
releasing stress and its detrimental effects on the body and the mind.
FLOW forces you to take a five minute break every hour or so to move your
body, which will make you burn extra calories, pump blood into your brain and
the rest of your extremities, oxygenizing your whole body and giving a break
to the heart. In addition, it helps you activate the inner muscles that
eventually will help you burn the "inner fat" or the fat tissue surrounding
your organs and that is dangerous for your health.
What are the Benefits of FLOW for Employers?
Created with the desk-bound office employee in mind, FLOW will positively
impact a company's bottom line. An economically efficient program, FLOW
motivates employees to take healthy breaks and get active. In addition to the
obvious health benefit, employees will experience an increase in their
productivity. The Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report found that 66% of
employed adults in the U.S. do not engage in moderate or vigorous physical
activity beyond work and also that daily occupations of almost 60% of the
population do not demand moderate physical activity. However, companies that
encourage activity among their workers experience an increase in profitability
by taking care of their employees' health. Healthier employees results in
lowered health care costs for the company and lower chances of paying worker's
compensation in the future.
A recent pilot study testing FLOW efficacy found that employees who used
FLOW for five consecutive months experienced: -- significant drop in blood
pressure
-- substantial increase in physical activity outside working hours
-- greater feelings of energy and alertness
-- decreased tension
