Slimtree.com's free online video-based fitness approach, having noted, "I
did a little research and found this lovely little website
http://www.slimtree.com. It has everything you could possibly need... It's
amazing and best of all it's free. There's workout videos that cover
everything from Yoga to Kung Fu, Pilates to kickboxing... I suggest
visiting this website to anyone who is interested in setting up a workout
plan but doesn't have the funds to get a gym membership or pay extra money
to get a channel on their cable. You have nothing to lose (except maybe a
few extra pounds...)."
"Approximately 127 million adults in the U.S. are overweight, 60 million
are obese, and 9 million are extremely obese," notes Singh. "Additionally,
an estimated 81 million people, or 63% of the 129 million people who
access the Internet over broadband in the U.S., watch broadband video at
home or at work. These facts combined support and validate Slimtree.com's
mission to offer the most comprehensive assortment of state-of-the-art,
Web video-based expert fitness instruction in a way that is highly
economical, convenient, motivating, effective and infinitely mobile,
serving to improve the health, wellness and longevity of our viewers."
