Rollerblade® and PE4life Join Forces to Encourage Health and Fitness for Kids Through Skating

Kansas City, MO (PRWEB) April 10, 2007

Rollerblade®, the world leader in the in-line skating market, and PE4life, the nation?s leading advocate for quality health and fitness programs, have joined forces in an initiative to fight childhood obesity through fitness-oriented skating programs in schools, K-12, across the country.

As part of the new partnership, Rollerblade is providing comprehensive skating packages (skates, helmets, protective gear, instructional videos and in-line skating curriculum) to each of the PE4life Academies across the country. PE4life Academies are exemplary health and fitness programs that train communities and school districts in the PE4life health-and-wellness-based approach to physical education. Rollerblade is offering PE4life Academies 15% off any additional equipment purchases and also is giving all Academy trainees a 10% discount on Rollerblade equipment.

"We're thrilled to partner with PE4life in its efforts to get children active and involved in life-long physical fitness activities," commented Nicholas Skally, marketing and public relations manager of Rollerblade USA. "Rollerblade was at the forefront of the New PE initiatives a decade ago with the development of Skate in School, and now we're in more than 1,000 schools nationwide with more than three million kids taught through the program."

PE4life advocates the adoption of lifetime health and fitness activities that enable progress towards physical conditioning goals as students and later as adults. To date, PE4life programs have positively impacted 1.5 million schoolchildren across the country. That number is expected to grow significantly as PE4life begins to implement an aggressive expansion campaign.

?We are delighted to team up with Rollerblade and help provide schools across the country with an innovative, fun, skating program that will enhance the health of our nation?s students,? said PE4life President & CEO, Anne Flannery. ?Rollerblade shares our philosophy that students? long term health and wellness is best developed and ensured through quality physical education programs that focus on lifetime health and fitness activities. The Rollerblade Skate in School program certainly fits the bill.?

According to a study by the University of Massachusetts Exercise Science Department, skating has aerobic benefits that are greater than stair-stepping and almost as good as running. Moreover, in-line skating is a low-impact workout, producing less than half the shock to joints that running does, while still burning up to 360 calories in 30 minutes for a 150-pound skater.

Success is No Secret to This Fitness Machine Company Despite the Economy

Agoura Hills, CA (PRWEB) April 29, 2010

Rowbike.com has combined a total body workout with an outdoor fitness bike and the results are in: Fitness enthusiasts are flocking to Rowbike.com and sales have quadrupled this quarter from the previous quarter. Rowbike is growing by leaps and bounds and there are now thousands of Rowbike owners worldwide.

Created by Scott Olson, the inventor of Rollerblades, Rowbike gives the rider twice the workout in half the time. Imagine getting a full body workout while being able to enjoy the outdoors. That?s the beauty of Rowbike. Rowbike works the upper body, core and lower body all while providing a great cardio workout. Because of the fully adjustable 7-speeds, Rowbike is very versatile and can take on significant hills. One of the reasons Rowbike has been recognized as one of the best overall fitness machines is because benefits include muscle building, toning, stretching, improved posture and an amazing calorie burn.

'Shape', 'Outside' and 'Avid Golfer' Magazine have all contributed to the success of Rowbike with extremely positive reviews. Shape Magazine?s Marissa Stephenson says, ?Take a ride on a cross between a rowing machine and a recumbent bike and you?ll burn 50 percent more calories than you would on an ordinary two-wheeler.?

In addition to print reviews, Rowbike was recently featured on The Gadget Show in the UK. Many US local news affiliates including KABC in Los Angeles, California have featured in depth pieces on Rowbike as well.

Rowbike was invented over a dozen years ago by Olson whose passion for inspiring outdoor exercise is evident: ?I invented the Rowbike as an exercise machine to provide total body conditioning with the speed and excitement of a bicycle, inline skates or downhill skis. It's a fitness machine that will take you where you want to go.? He says. And, Rowbike owners agree with Olson?s fervor ? many become so enthusiastic about their rapid transformation in health and fitness , the testimonials seem to come into Rowbike Headquarters on a daily basis.

Rowbike owners are more than customers, they become part of a family. Take for instance, Dave Olson (no relation to inventor Scott Olson) a passionate Rowbike owner; About five years ago Dave, on his own accord, designed a new cam for the Rowbike that ultimately doubled the speed of the Rowbike. The ?Dave Cam? is now a part of the manufacturing process and is used on every Rowbike being shipped today. Dave donated his designs to Rowbike and was pleased he could make the Rowbike experience a better one for all customers.

Rowbike?s commitment to never cut corners is possible due to their consistent innovation . Every new generation of Rowbikes have improvements small and large all due to the collaboration of staff suggestions and customer feedback. ?Customer service and integrity of our product have always been equal in importance. We see Rowbike as the verb and not the noun. Owning a Rowbike is a life changing experience and we see that happen on a pretty consistent basis? says Rowbike VP of Marketing, Karen Levy.

Levy is aware that Rowbike ownership is prohibitive for some ? the cost is just north of $ 1,000. ?Rowbike is a solid, highly engineered exercise machine. There?s never a question of value from customers. However, being that our mission is to expose as many people as possible to fitness, we have just rolled out a financing program. Low monthly payments have allowed our company to cast a wider net, no doubt. And, frankly we couldn?t be happier about that.?

Fight Obesity with Fitness Entrepreneur?s New Product That Makes Inline Skating Safer

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) May 17, 2010

Inline skating and roller skating are recognized by fitness professionals as one of the most effective ways to burn calories and increasing cardiovascular and respiratory fitness. No other exercise works your core, as well as shaping your glute, legs, and stomach muscles like inline skating. Inline Skating is also a highly injury-prone sport, or it was until fitness entrepreneur Thomas Demme developed the Skaters Coach.

The Skaters Coach is a wheeled device which provides stability and balance for inline and roller skaters of all ages.

?Skating is one of the most effective ways to get fit, but so many people have fallen and suffered broken wrists and broken arms that it?s affected the popularity of the sport. Nobody wants to risk a serious injury and weeks of recovery,? explained Demme.

That is why he developed the popular new Skaters Coach, which is already receiving rave reviews from fitness professionals. It allows skaters of any ability to gain from all the benefits of skating while remaining safe.

Because summer is just around the corner, LT Distributing, LLC is offering a summer special, offering the Skaters Coach on sale for $ 349.00. The Skaters Coach is available online to make it easy for anyone to order. Originally packaged as a completely assembled, now comes in a much smaller box in an unassembled version which brought down the shipping cost.

?Skating weather is here now, and I?d really like to see as many people as possible be able to take advantage of this wonderful outdoor sport, without the risks and dangers involved,? Demme explained.

New Fitness Product Brings Back Inline Skating as the # 1 Obesity Fighting Exercise

Saint Charles, IL (PRWEB) May 24, 2010

New fitness product Skaters Coach helps skaters to increase cardiovascular and cardio respiratory fitness, along with strengthening core, shaping legs, butt, and stomach muscles all at once just by inline skating or roller skating safely.

Take up the sport of outdoor skating as soon as possible, and see fitness results quickly. Outside of some very gifted athletes, most people lost interest in skating because of accidents from broken wrist, to cracked elbows. No one wants to be injured or miss work. Thanks to the new Skaters Coach taking up the sport of inline skating or roller skating just became safer.

Just think one exercise works cardiovascular, cardio respiratory, strengthens core, shapes legs, butt, and stomach all at the same time. Skating outdoors is an amazing sport. Do it safe and often with the use of the new Skaters Coach.

Whenever skating think about wearing wrist guards, elbow pads, knee pads, and using a Skaters Coach.

Guards and pads protect body parts, but a Skaters Coach gives stability and balance to go any distance safely. Try 1 or 2 miles of inline skating. Skating cuts down the amount of time needed for fitness because so many body parts are used a one time, unlike running or riding a bike. Nothing works the body like skating.

Lose weight, get in shape though inline skating or roller skating and do it safely with a Skaters Coach.

New Fitness Product Skaters Coach Making Skating Accessible to a Broader Range of Participants for Fitness and Fun

Saint Charles, IL (PRWEB) June 29, 2010

Liz Miller is a well known inline skating instructor and has been helping inline skaters start (and stop!) skating successfully and safely since 1992. Visit her web site at http://www.getrolling.com/. In Liz?s Blog she writes about a new fitness product Skaters Coach that is now available to make inline skating accessible to a broader range of participants. While there are gifted athletes that don?t need assistance while skating, there is a larger amount of people that do need assistance. Skaters Coach provides that assistance giving skaters added stability and balance.

Inline skating gained popularity in the late 1990?s as a fun, joint friendly exercise that does double duty as an effective lower body sculptor and mega calorie burner. The only downside: the potential to cause injury. In fact, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission?s National Electronic Injury Surveillance System?s (NEISS) latest figures from 2005 report nearly 27,000 emergency room visits from skating falls. The Skaters Coach helps eliminate that risk, and may be the one product that brings back the popularity of inline skater for more people.

No other exercise will work 6 different body parts like inline skating, cardiovascular, cardio respiratory, strengthens core, shapes and develops legs, butt, and stomach muscles all with one exercise. Why not skate safely, while enjoying these many benefits with Skaters Coach.

New Low Impact Exercise Product for Outdoor Fitness and Fun

Saint Charles, IL (PRWEB) January 24, 2011

Inline skating is one of the best low impact exercises someone can add to their regular exercise regime. No other activity delivers a cardiovascular and cardio-respiratory workout combined with core muscle toning and strengthening of the leg, butt, and stomach while burning the same amount of calories as running. Now with the use of Skaters Coach, more people can get outside and enjoy the fitness benefits of inline skating and leave concerns of heavy impact wear and tear to their joints and knees behind. Skaters Coach provides the stability and balance for anyone to get outside and skate and takes the fear of falling or losing control out of the equation.

A Certified Personal Trainer that had both knees replaced invented Skaters Coach. Highly active his entire life, the limitations placed upon his choice of exercise while protecting his knees became very frustrating. Riding a bike and lifting weights did not provide enough variety in his workout routine so he began searching for additional low impact exercises that provided high caloric burn, muscle strengthening, could be done outdoors and were fun! After reading about the low impact benefits of inline skating he developed what is now known as Skater Coach. With his new invention he had greater stability and balance and could enjoy the many benefits of inline skating without the risk of injury.

To purchase or find contact information, visit the website for Skaters Coach at http://www.skaterscoach.com/. The product is sold direct to consumers via the website.
