Big News!!

2009-06-08T20:07:00.001-04:00

Hi Everyone,
I have some great news and some not so good news at least from a video production perspective for this year. We are going to postpone filming the rest of the "Dynamic Series" until next summer (2010). This was unexpected and I am somewhat sad about it. But… there is a positive personal side to this story that I am excited to share with you.

As you know, Phil Ross and I are getting married (next month). We also found out that we are expecting!! Phil, his kids (my soon-to-be step children), myself and our families are over the moon about this! I have been advised by my doctors to take it easy for the next 4 to 6 weeks due to certain circumstances. So, in the interest of our baby, I am going to postpone things until 6 months after he/she has arrived. I want to enjoy my pregnancy, production free. So, I am taking a year off.

2009 has been one of the most exciting times in my life. I have been very lucky and blessed this year. I hope you will all understand and support my decision.

PS. Of course I will honor all of your coupons for the "Dynamic Series", same time next year. Just ignore the expiration date. :)

Take care and have a great week.

Dynamic Series Update:

Hi Everyone, I just want to clear up any confusion with the production schedule for 2009. Yes, some details have changed from what was originally slated. I am confident you'll be pleased with the workouts we have planned. Read on to clear up anything that might have been missed or deleted when we swapped forums/servers. I will be posting a "detailed breakdown" of each workout as each pre-sale approaches.

The list of Dynamic Series Videos to be filmed this year is as follows;

Pre-sale 2 film - July We will open this pre-sale on June 26th

1. Drop Set Dynamics - total body strength training workout using drop set method of training. There will be a bonus “scrambled eggs” RKC Kettlebell Bonus workout on this dvd with Phil Ross.

2. Hip Hop Walk Dynamics - a fun hip hop walking workout done to hip hop music

3. Abs n Stretch Dynamics – a sequel to the original Abs n Stretch video

__________________________________

Pre-sale 3 – Sept.

4. Hi/lo Dynamics - my traditional hi/lo blow out w/ med ball intervals

5. ASC4 (ADVANCED STEP CHALLENGE 4) This is replacing Dome Dynamics I'll be blunt, Bosu workouts don't generate as many sales as Step workouts. Right now we are going with what sells for us due to the economic climate. We will include a bonus cardio Bosu workout on this step dvd.

*** Nrg Mania Philadelphia Road trip will be held on this filming weekend***
