NBC's "Biggest Loser" trainer Kim Lyons announces the newest addition to her fitness empire- 3 title DVD series Start Fitness Now: Beating Type 2 Diabetes and online support forum; produced and distributed by Watch It Now Entertainment.
"This is your day-to-day guidebook for motivation, understanding and the conviction to be responsible about your greatest asset -- your health!" Lyons says. Developed in collaboration with premier physician Dr. Shaila Singh MD, Diplomat of the American Association of Family Physicians (AAFP), Start Fitness Now offers a medically sound solution to managing Type 2 Diabetes: a physician recommended routine coupled with the luxury of celebrity personal training.
With the American Diabetes Association citing 20.5 million men & women nationwide are affected, 1 in 3 African Americans developing Diabetes and 38% of Latinos fighting the same, Lyons and Dr. Singh bring awareness to the disease: health risks, preventative measures, halting disease progression and increasing life expectancy to decrease mortality.
"As a physician, I recommend patients engage in 150 minutes physical activity per week; the DVDs are structured to give you this with 20 minutes per day - a realistic goal yielding realistic results," says Dr. Singh. "The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey cites 63% of Americans battle with weight loss management and obesity- this series can help them as well."
