Well it's only taken me 13 years of training...but I am finally creating my first online fitness product.
I know you are saying to yourself "why rush into something like this"?
I've seen tons of products that are available online, and many are quite good, but there always seemed to be something missing.
Many of the programs out there seemed like they have been geared for younger woman who want to be more "masculine". I'm not sure if you know what I mean...but I will try to explain.
Most of what I see online or in magazines tends to preach to women that in order to be "beautiful" they need to be leaner and of a smaller dress size.
Some women may strive for this, and so be it...but I don't see it as being healthy to say the least.
I think that I can speak for most men in saying that we don't find bony, muscled women very appealing. The media creates this "anorexic" ideal that is both unhealthy, and unachievable.
The program that I am working on encourages women to keep their curves, yet lose fat and get healthy.
I am collaborating with a long time buddy of mine who is one of the top personal trainers in Brazil. He and I met at a personal training conference in Orlando over 10 years ago, and we have remained close friends ever since.
Our project is called the Brazilian Beach Body Workout.com. (It's not live yet.)
We are first working on the version for women. Our goal is to create a system whereby women can train according to our workouts and eating plans and lose fat and tone, yet not build bulky muscles or lose their womanly shapes. Imagine toning up those trouble areas, yet remaining feminine.
We are in the process of writing the e-book, and will be recording the videos soon. (Hmmm make note to self...may have to go to Brazil to record those videos.)
We will be creating a version for the men too. This version is for men who want to be lean and athletic, let's say like Brad Pitt or a volleyball player rather than a body builder.
You can be included in our pre-launch efforts by signing up for "stay in touch" newsletter at:http://brazilianbeachbodyworkout.ning.com/ Please know that the members site is free, and we have not added any of our logos or artwork, etc.
And no, you will not see me doing any samba dancing on these videos. (That'll be in a separate product entitled 'How to Dance Like a Gringo" by Stephen Cooper.)
I'll keep you posted,
