LifeSpan Fitness has teamed with Kraft Foods in a promotion to introduce a new fitness beverage to consumers. Crystal Light Pure Fitness is a low calorie, naturally sweetened drink mix that contains electrolytes to aid in hydration during light physical activity.

Over 10 million Crystal Light Pure Fitness samples are being handed out nationwide over the next few months at LifeSpan authorized dealers, as well as health clubs such as Gold’s Gym, Bally’s and LifeTime Fitness; Jazzercise and Yoga centers; and wellness seminars, health fairs and area marathons and 10K fun runs. Samples will also be included in fitness and outdoor catalog orders, and in packages of Nabisco Wheat Thins and 100 Calorie Packs.

Each sample includes a promotional card with directions on how to enter a drawing for a LifeSpan Fitness TR1200i treadmill or S4 Indoor Cycling Bike (grand prize), or a LifeSpan Heart Rate Ring. The promotion also includes a link to a survey webpage where consumers can get a coupon for 10% off the MSRP of LifeSpan fitness equipment at participating retailers.

LifeSpan is proud to support new Crystal Light Pure Fitness drink mix. Look for your free beverage sample and make sure to enter the sweepstakes to win a LifeSpan treadmill or exercise bike!

The PRO3 treadmill is solid and stable in more ways than one. Backed by a commercial warranty, the PRO3 is built on our professional series frame, with larger tubing for increased rigidity and strength, and a wider base frame stance for maximum stability. The solid frame along with the Dura-Max™ Drive System and 22” x 60” running surface with deck suspension make this treadmill ideal for intense running at home, or for light commercial use in fire stations, hotels, and apartment complexes.

The LifeSpan PRO3 treadmill is an excellent performance treadmill for users. It is recognized favorably by treadmill review groups and continues to be a top seller. In 2010, Treadmill Doctor awarded the PRO3 the Best Buy Winner for treadmills priced $2000-$2499.

The LifeSpan PRO3 treadmill is also solid in its reputation with a low defect rate, few service calls, and positive feedback from customers.

After looking extensively on the internet at different treadmills, I purchased the PRO3. It is a great treadmill with plenty of room to run. It has a lifetime motor and frame warranty. 5 year parts warranty and 2 year labor warranty if used in the home. Look at other treadmills with this type of warranty and you will be paying 3,000 or better for them. The machine is very solid and is excellent for runners. The PRO3, in my opinion, is the best option out there for the price.

LifeSpan continues to be a proud partner with The Heart Truth, a national campaign promoting awareness of heart disease among women. According to the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion, “Physical inactivity is an established independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the leading cause of death and disability among U.S. adults.” Physical inactivity doubles the risk of developing heart disease, and triples the risk of developing hypertension.

Regular, moderate-to-vigorous physical activity helps prevent heart and blood vessel disease. According to the latest joint American Heart Association/American College of Sports Medicine guidelines on physical activity, all healthy adults ages 18-65 should be getting at least 30 minutes of moderate intensity activity five days of the week. The more vigorous the activity, the greater the benefits. However, even moderate-intensity activities help if done regularly and long term. Physical activity can help control blood cholesterol, diabetes and obesity, as well as help lower blood pressure in some people. Whether it’s included in a structured exercise program or part of your daily routine, all physical activity adds up to a healthier heart.
