Kathy Smith and Beachbody Unveil Project: YOU(TM) - a Breakthrough 'Real World' In-Home Personal Fitness Program for Lifelong Results

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 12 /PRNewswire/ -- Fitness expert Kathy Smith, together with Beachbody.com, creator of the nation's most popular in-home fitness and weight loss solutions, today introduced Kathy Smith's Project: YOU(TM), a comprehensive in-home DVD and VHS-based "real world" fitness and nutritional program that combines Kathy Smith's brand new cardio workouts, resistance training for the entire body, interval circuit work, Pilates, yoga, and walking. To answer the frequently asked question, "How do I lose weight?" Smith drew upon her 25+ years of experience to give people the most effective training methods they need in one easy-to-follow package. Kathy Smith's Project: YOU is her 12-week program that not only fits into busy schedules and retrains the body in order to live a healthy, active lifestyle, it teaches people how to stay on track with their weight loss goals when life gets in the way.

"Many people find themselves stuck in a cycle of weight loss and weight gain, which creates what I call 'body chaos,'" explains Kathy Smith. "Project: YOU quiets body chaos by resetting the metabolism. Project: YOU ends the harmful yo-yo cycle of dieting and focuses on the real proven steps to improve the way people look and feel."

Kathy Smith's Project: YOU includes a guidebook that provides step-by-step instructions on all the exercises, understanding your body, maintaining motivation, improving your diet, and building positive self-esteem, and contains a separate journal for tracking results. Kathy's Total Control Nutritional Guide and Journal even contains a fat burning food plan and dining out tips. A motivational calendar is included, as is an important Internet peer-to-peer support component where participants can "WOWY" (Work Out With You) with online workout buddies, access inspirational success stories, chat with peers on Beachbody.com's popular message boards, and get 24/7 fitness advice.

Kathy Smith's Project: YOU begins with an optional Fast Track 6-day plan that is included with the program as an added bonus. It is designed as a jump-start to a healthy new way of eating and is perfect for special occasions when users want to slim down fast. Results of a clinically supervised Fast Track test group showed weight loss in the range of 1-11 pounds after six days. The exercise component is packed with a variety of easy-to-follow routines that are progressively more challenging week to week. Three categories of workouts-fat burning, strength, and core/flex-combine walking and jogging, upper body, lower body, and full body strength training using free weights or a stability ball, Pilates and yoga. Exercises range from 20 minutes to 60 minutes each day

"People are constantly bombarded with messages dictating how they should look and so much misinformation about how to achieve that look. Kathy Smith has helped Beachbody.com to take the guesswork out of it, so people can finally take control of their health and fitness," said Carl Daikeler, chief executive officer of Beachbody. "Project: YOU is a fun and inspirational new way to get fast results-and a healthy and responsible way to achieve those New Year's resolutions."

Kathy Smith's Project: YOU(TM) program is available for $59.95 and can be ordered online at http://www.beachbody.com/ or by phone at (800) 565-4807.
