Jennifer Nicole Lees JNL Fusion Training Method Is Predicted to Be Top Fitness Industry & Coaching Trend for 2012 Due to Its 5 Key Elements That Make It Superior Workout


New York City, New York (PRWEB) December 31, 2011

JNL Fusion is named one of the worlds top fitness trends of 2012 because it has most of the major characteristics of what is predicted to be in demand in the New Year and beyond. The JNL Fusion Method has five major components of what top fitness experts and forecasters state are what the fitness consumer mostly values in a fitness training method. The top four most important characteristics that the best health and wellness industry leaders stated, that are also major components of the JNL Fusion method, are the following: an exercise program that increases the education of fitness professionals, an exercise method that aids in rapid yet long lasting weight loss, strength training using lighter weights or a personal own body weight, a practice that can be done in a small space, and lastly functional fitness, a kind of program that focuses on improving the ability to do every day activities.

The JNL Fusion Management team led by [Jennifer Nicole Lee is adamant about educating its top elite Master Trainers. Each year, JNL hosts her Annual JNL Fusion World Conference in Miami, Florida, where hand selected applicants are chosen to attend and work with her one on one. She certifies only a handful of personal trainers and fitness enthusiasts each year, making sure that she recruits the top Master Trainers in the world. In 2012, JNL has confirmed she will be going on tour with the method, stopping at major cities to recruit and train future Master Trainers. Educating and keeping my master trainers motivated are my passions. Training and being inspired to me go hand in hand.

Trending elements in the fitness industry in 2012 have shown to be an exercise program that aids in fast yet safe and long lasting permanent weight loss, which JNL Fusion has a proven track record. I myself am a weight loss success story, and I have kept off the 80 lbs plus with my own JNL Fusion method. Records show a countless amount of people losing weight on this program. But JNL states its not only about losing weight, but gaining stamina, energy, endurance, and a new identity as an athlete. This is why the weight loss sticks, and JNL Fusion trainers and lovers of the method never gain their weight back.

JNL Fusion also focuses on another major trend in fitness for 2012, which is strength training using lighter weights or a personal own body weight. The equipment needed for the JNL Fusion method are a small pair of dumbbells, a cordless rope, or jump rope, a 30 second timer, and of course your own body. Your own body weight is what JNL Fusion focuses on when performing the signature trademark plyometric moves which super spikes your metabolism. With JNL Fusion, there is no need for big bulky equipment. Plus, many dont want to look like a bodybuilding, but have functional muscle.

Space is and always has been an issue for working out. With JNL Fusion, all that is needed is a small room, living room, bedroom, or small gym area. Realistically JNL Fusion can be done anywhere, anytime-at a park, in ones bedroom, on a balcony, on the beach, even in your hotel room when you travel. This is why it works, and also many of my European clients love it, since their flats, apartments and homes tend to be smaller in some areas.

Lastly, JNL Fusion is predicted to be a superior training method in 2012 and beyond due to it focusing on functional fitness. These kinds of programs focus on improving your ability to do activities that many encounter in everyday life, leveraging strength training to boost balance, coordination and power. JNL explains it this say, stating Functional training is superior because many people dont Zumba or dance at work, at home or at school but they do lift heavy bags, bring in the groceries, carry their kids up stairs, or have to bent over to pick up items. This is why JNL Fusion will not only make you stronger while you work out, but for your everyday life to dos-thus making you a better mom, better dad, wife, husband, office workerplain and simple, JNL Fusion will make you perform better in your life as it makes you more efficient, effective and yes, Strong is the New Skinny as I always have said.

Scala Introduces New Consumer Device Controlled Screen Communication Solution at ISE 2012

Exton, Pa. (PRWEB) January 18, 2012

Visitors of Integrated Systems Europe 2012 can experience and test Scalas latest development: a new interactive screen communication solution that can be managed through a variety of consumer devices, such as a smart phone, iPad or tablet PC. By scanning a QR code with their smart phone at Scalas booth K122 in Hall 10 at the RAI Congress Center in Amsterdam, visitors can access a digital display management tool that allows them to choose from various information bundles and determine what is displayed on the playback screens at the stand.

With this new solution, digital signage viewers can determine which specific information they want to receive at that point and moment allowing companies to micro-target messaging to individuals. Examples of how this technology can be used include customers in stores or banks, employees in a corporate building lobby, students in schools, patients in hospitals, guests in restaurants and more. Visitors to Scalas ISE booth can too use this interactive solution first hand with participants being entered into a drawing to win an iPad.

Visitors can also test Scalas Twitter integration, see how interactive screens can transfer a great variety of targeted information and experience how picking up a product from a store shelf can trigger targeted product-related messaging on a screen.

Over the years, Scala has virtually evolved into a central hub for delivering dynamic communication tools, delivering more than just software by meeting the requirements for a total communication solution. That is why the company constantly invites companies who use, or consider using, audio visual tools to reach target audiences to share their challenges in a face-to-face dialogue with Scala and ISE is the perfect platform for those conversations.

For 25 years, organizations ranging from retail and quick service restaurants to corporate communications, banks, hospitals and education have seen the flexibility and benefits of communicating using Scalas digital communication, stated Scalas new CEO Tom Nix.

Combining this know-how with our latest developments, I am convinced we can find new ways to help companies to quickly engage and inform their audiences. Many organizations are challenged to find innovative ways to deliver valuable content to target audiences in the short bursts of time available, continued Nix.

Scala not only provides a strong, highly usable, incredibly stable software platform that meets 95 percent of the needs of most customers out of the box, it can also be easily customized well beyond many competitive offerings. If end-users or integrators have a question, any question, relating to digital communication, Scala can put them on the right track to cost-effective digital communication solutions! said Nix.

Also several of Scalas partners will showcase a range of digital signage technology at Scalas booth at this years event.
