To invest your hard earned money on a product that promises results that aren’t delivered.
That’s how millions of new Wii Fit owners are feeling right now, and I don’t blame them.
The Wii Fit is marketed as the latest and greatest way to lose weight and be fit. The specialized Nintendo is supposed to do the job of your gym, your treadmill and even your personal trainer.
That’s a lot of pressure for a video game.
With all the buzz surrounding the Wii Fit, I decided that some research was in order. What is this Wii Fit, and how is it qualified to get you into the best shape of your life?
The Wii uses television and a wireless “balance board” that is about two feet wide and half as deep. The board is basically a fancy scale, which measures your weight and detects your equilibrium. To play Wii Fit, you stand on the board and do a series of games that fall into one of four categories: aerobics, balance, strength, and yoga.
My research did turn up some cases of documented weight loss as a result of Wii Fit play time. In each case the person went from a sedentary lifestyle (basically a couch potato) and saw weight loss after doing the Wii Fit for 30-60 minutes per day.
Walking for 30-60 minutes per day will give the same results.
To really understand the purpose of this product I did a search on Shigeru Miyamoto, he’s the creator of the Wii Fit.
What he said may shock you.
“I don’t think Wii Fit’s purpose is to make you fit; what it’s actually aiming to do is make you aware of your body,” he said. “That’s why we wanted people to talk with their families about Wii Fit, and become aware of these things together as a group.”
The purpose of the Wii Fit is not to make you fit?!
But what about the marketing pieces that are telling you to use the Wii Fit as your one-stop shop for fitness and weight loss?
What about the people who purchased a Wii Fit with the hopes of losing 30 lbs?
It’s time to call the Wii Fit what it really is: a video game…entertainment, and that’s it.
Don’t get me wrong, the Wii Fit is a fun, interactive game that gets you to burn more calories than you would just sitting on the couch. People enjoy playing it with their kids and it sure beats lounging on the couch watching T.V.
But it’s just like the creator of the product said; it’s not intended to make you fit. Sure, it may be marketed that way but that’s not what it’s for and that’s not what it does.
Don’t sell yourself on the idea that a video game will get you into great shape.
Play the Wii Fit. Enjoy the Wii Fit. Burn a few calories with the Wii Fit.

Dan Dychtwald is our February client success story. I vowed to not have the same client win Client of the Month, but I just couldn’t stop myself. Since May, Dan has lost 93 lbs. He’s dropped from a size 54 inch waist and is now fitting into a 38 inch waist. His results are absolutely amazing. See Dan’s amazing video testimonial after only 2 months
The secret to Dan’s success is eating a well balanced diet, 3 strength workouts/week, and 5-6 days per week of cardio. He packs his lunch when he’s on the road for work and he’s the only client to ask for another food journal because he religiously fills out his journal each and every day.
Dan recently just got engaged and is preparing to become a personal trainer. He is an inspiration to all of us. He might be a Fit-4-Life Trainer someday.
You could be our next Success Story!! Call us at 856-751-0033 or visit us online at www.FitLifeInc.com and schedule your FREE workout testdrive.

THE CHALLENGE: According to the Centers for Disease Control and the American Heart Association (AHA), heart disease - specifically coronary artery disease - is still the number one cause of death of men and women. And while it was once considered a man’s disease, today more women than men die from heart disease. And unfortunately, at least 100 million Americans have one or more risk factors for heart disease.
To reduce the risk of heart disease, the AHA recommends eating two servings of fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids each week. But most people eat fish only three times per month or less. Additionally, there are growing concerns about unsafe levels of contaminants such as mercury and lead that are now commonly found in many fish.
Today, most fish swim in oceans, lakes, and streams that contain incredibly high levels of mercury and other health deteriorating toxins. The EPA itself has stated that one drop of mercury in a lake is enough to shut it down for contamination. Yet, most fish that we eat have at least one drop of poisonous mercury. Frankly, the risks of consuming mercury from the eating of fish are real. But with Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil, all the mercury and toxins have been eliminated. Take just a few capsules per day and you’re getting more Omega 3 Fatty Acids than you would get from eating an entire fish.
Now, do NOT mistake Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil with any of the store bought brands. Many of the fish oil supplements bought in stores have not been purified. As such, they still contain mercury and other toxins - and are harmful to your health. Not only that, but store bought fish oil has a foul odor and when consumed can cause unsavory burping and belching.
This is not the case with Pharmaceutical Grade Fish Oil - especially the brand we recommend - OMEGAGuard by Shaklee - which is the very highest quality on the market today. Be sure to get started on it. It won’t take but a few days for you to be convinced that it is indeed an “All-Natural Miracle Supplement and The Only Fish Oil Worth Taking!” Click here to buy now
Here are some of the many scientifically proven benefits of taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil:
-Reduced cholesterol levels -Reduced chance of contracting cancer
-Reduced blood pressure -Improvement in ratio of HDL to LDL cholesterol
-Decreased chance of Alzheimer’s -Decreased risk of heart attack or stroke
-Improved memory -Increases and balances hormone levels
-Improved athletic performance -Decreases inflammation throughout entire body

If you missed attending Tuesday’s special event here in Cherry Hill “How To Make 2009 Your Best Year Ever!” - let me fill you in on all the details. Over 35 people trudged their way through the snow and raised over $530 for the Alexa Nawrocki Pediatric Cancer Foundation. Don’t worry if the couldn’t make it because of the snow we will be putting together a DVD of the whole event so you can still benefit from all the info and still raise money for the Alexa Foundation.
Here’s just some of the things revealed…
- I revealed “How to Master Your Metabolism and Fire Up Your Body’s Fat Burning Furnace”
- Naturopathic physician- Dr. Melissa Josselson discussed “Detox for Life” the most common sources of toxins, how toxins can harm us, and how to cleanse these impurities from our body
- Chiropractor - Dr. Anthony Calzaretto unveiled “Six Secrets To Optimal Health & Fitness” Detailed info on effective exercises, perfect posture, good sleeping habits, and a balanced spine
- Psychologist - Dr. Sidney Cohen unleashed “Kick Your Inner Bully’s Butt (and Unleash Your Self Worth).” specific strategies to reach your full potential and stop sabotaging your weight loss goals
- Holisitic health counselor - Laura Wald gave insight on “Fight the Man with Your Fork: Learn How to Eat Healthy and Save $$ in this Economy” a crash course in everything from learning where to shop to preparing meals at home
You also missed hearing a moving story from Joan Rolsky, representative from the Alexa Nawrocki Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
I also revealed a heart felt story of why I wanted to make a donation to the Alexa Foundation. One of my best friends past away when I was in high school due to complications from his long fight with Leukemia. Everyday I think of my friend and how much his disease affected his whole family. Now that I’m older I wanted to give back. The Alexa Foundation helps families with children suffering from cancer make ends meet. After the event, the Nawrockis notified me that our donation would pay for a local families heating bill for the next 2 months. That’s what this whole event was about giving back to the community.
I gave a special $50 discount on registration to those who attended Tuesday night for a Metabolic Blueprint analysis. And 2 folks called my office yesterday explaining how they couldn’t make the event but heard about the program from a friend and they “really wanted to get the discount if at all possible.”
Well, I figure if I’m going to allow them to still receive a discount, then I’ve got to allow everyone to get the discount. Fair is fair.
Now, the deadline to enroll in the program is Monday 2/16 at 5pm EST. But we’ve only got a couple spots left. And once they’re gone, they’re gone. This Metabolic Blueprint analysis normally costs $107. The consultation is free, but the evaluation does cost $57.00

February is the month that most people revert to their pre-New-Year’s-Resolution habits. Have you given up on your fitness goals yet?
“If you are looking for an excuse to fall off the wagon, the universe will provide one.”
That was the lesson that Oprah shared in her recent confession about her ongoing struggle with weight. Oprah knows how it feels to fall off the fitness wagon; in the January issue of The Oprah Magazine she described her recent 40 pound weight gain.
Her testimony was filled with valuable insights for anyone else prone to relapse. There was a hidden cycle that I found in her story - one that exposes the process of falling off the wagon.
1) You Fall
Your fall off the wagon could take place in a single moment, or it could be the result of a drawn out process. Oprah described her fall as one that happened slowly as a result of health problems. These health problems became her reason for not exercising.
Illness, vacation, holidays, changes at work or any other change in your schedule are all things that’ll get you off the wagon. Once you’re off the real damage begins.
2) You Surrender
There comes a point after you fall off the wagon that you simply throw your hands up in the air and give in. For Oprah this was a dramatic moment. “I started eating whatever I wanted - and that’s never good. My drug of choice is food. I use food for the same reasons an addict uses drugs: to comfort, to soothe, to ease stress.”
This is the most destructive part of the cycle. You remove all expectations from yourself and as a result you plummet into an unhealthy realm. The progress that you’ve made toward your goals is lost and even more weight is gained.
3) You Hit Bottom
Inevitably there comes the moment when you hit bottom. Your body shows the new weight gain and you feel awful about it. For Oprah it was a sobering moment. “I felt completely defeated. I thought, I give up. I give up. Fat wins.” She went so far as to say, “I felt like a fat cow. I wanted to disappear.”
While hitting bottom is never a fun experience, it is a necessary one. The pain must become great enough for you to turn it around and take the control back.
4) You Take Control
Now comes the good part. When you hit bottom you were out of control, now you’re ready to once again grab the reigns. Oprah says that “These days I’ve put myself back on my own priority list.”
She plans to get an hour of exercise five or six days a week, as well as eating healthfully and reordering her life to include time to replenish her energy. Her new goal is to be strong and healthy and fit.
Have you fallen off your priority list, like Oprah fell off hers?
The time has come to put yourself back on that priority list. The time has come to decide that you are worth it.
I’m here to help you do just that. Call or email today to get started on an exercise program that will change your body and your life…just like Oprah.
