Does the ACSM Have Any Clue?

My good friend Amanda Vogel made me aware of something very important.

This is a terrific opportunity for you to voice your opinion. You can do it in any number of ways:

- Send out a press release
- Write about it in your newsletter
- Educate your client as to why you think their recommendations are terrific or terrible
- Respond to all the media coverage about it by writing the journalist or a letter to the editor

So what the heck am I talking about?

The ACSM has released their updated "Physical Activity Guidelines." It's the first time they've been changed since 1995.

And since everyone has gotten so much fatter since then you can tell how terrfic they were.

But I digress.

Check them out for yourself at their website:

PS- Thinking about running a Back to School Boot Camp? http://www.howtoprofitwithbootcamps.com

"Jim,

Just wanted to give you a quick heads up on the progress I've made with my camps since purchasing your Ultimate Boot Camp Product.

I started in March '06 with about 10 people attending. It's steadily grown over the last 9 months with this month hitting 56 enrolled!!

It was your product that cemented the idea to start my own camps. I had no idea at the time that some initial guidance from the Ultimate BC CD's and some marketing know how would amount to a such a successful business.

I want to thank you for providing that spark that ignited what this year will be a SIX-FIGURE boot camp business!!"

Yours In Health,

"Hi Jim,

My name is Lyle Johnson, owner of MVP Fitness in St. Louis. I purchased your Boot Camp Start Up Kit and have gotten great results. I have had 44 camp members enroll in MVP Fitness Boot Camp in the first month. Not bad considering I only had 3 clients last year before the Kit!

Currently I am holding three camps; one at a local high school, another in an affluent subdivision and the other one for the St. Louis Cardinals Baseball Organization, which is actually held on the baseball diamond at the brand new Busch Staduim.

I feel great and very confident in the future direction of MVP Fitness and I am looking forward to improving more people's lives by offering more boot camps.

Thanks again! Your Ultimate Boot Camp Start-Up Kit CDs really helped me grow my business!"
