"Bob Greene is the quintessential fitness and nutritional expert and his name
has become synonymous with exercise programs that motivate people and deliver
results," said Gaiam President of Entertainment and World Wide Distribution,
William S. Sondheim. "The new DVDs will incorporate Bob's experience as one of
the best trainers in the world; the motivational techniques that have helped
thousands successfully better their overall health, and his knowledge of
metabolism and weight loss."

Shot in picturesque Santa Barbara, CA, "Total Body Makeover" is an 8-week
progressive program of simple and effective fitness exercises designed to
improve range of motion. The program is created for all levels of fitness,
including the beginner with no prior experience. The first week of the program
starts with only one hour of training per week, using the exerciser's body
weight and light dumbbells.

"Gaiam and I share the philosophy that everyone inherently has the ability to
make beneficial improvements to their lives, they just need the right tools
and motivation," said Bob Greene. "My new DVD is intended not just to improve
how one looks, but also how they feel and how they are able to function every
day."

Having worked with many clients including Oprah in his years as a trainer and
physiologist, Bob Greene is uniquely positioned to help people through their
own weight loss and fitness challenges. He understands the psychology behind
overeating and the struggles that an individual faces when trying to lose
weight and get healthy. Bob Greene and Gaiam are creating more than just a
workout DVD, but a healthy lifestyle program.

The bonus material on the DVD lets fans "meet" Bob and learn from him.
Included are behind-the-scenes interviews, stories from people who have worked
with Bob, motivational techniques, diet plans, nutrition tips, and more.

The DVDs will be available online and in stores wherever DVDs are sold.
