			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://marathonmakeover.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/AnnaDad.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2131" style="margin: 5px;" title="AnnaDad" src="http://marathonmakeover.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/AnnaDad-199x300.jpg" alt="" width="199" height="300" /></a>Do you love to run? Do you enjoy helping other people experience a life change? Marathon Makeover is looking to expand our training program across the USA and want you to be a part of the team.</p>
<p>We realize times are difficult financially and we have decided that not only are we going to change the lives of 50,000 couch potatoes, we are also going to change the lives of 100 runners, like you, who would like to turn couch potatoes into marathoners.</p>
<p>We are giving away a Licensed Marathon Makeover Program to 100 qualified team leaders who love to run, and more importantly have a passion to change lives. With this license, you will be qualified to lead a Marathon Makeover team in your area without the $1,000 licensing fee to start.</p>
<p>We will train you, help you establish a marketing plan, create a website for registration and help you create a business helping others catch your passion for health and running. You don’t have to be a great runner to be an incredible Marathon Makeover Team Leader!</p>
<p>When someone registers to train with your Marathon Makeover Team, you don’t have to worry about the registration process. We will collect the registration fees online for you and send you 50% of the fees the following Friday.</p>
<p>Train 5, 10, 50 or 100 people (or more) and collect half of the registration fee for being a Licensed Marathon Makeover Team Leader. The average cost of a Marathon Makeover training program is $400, but you can set the price to fit your market*. If you have a local business/organization sponsor your training team, you keep 100% of the sponsorship fees.</p>
<p>Marathon Makeover provides the participant materials, registration process, training information, website community and email support. You lead the group by preparing the training routes, providing hydration stops, and encouraging participants every step of the way.</p>
<p>Your only start-up costs are $99.95 for the <strong><em>Marathon Makeover DVD Series and Team Leader’s Manual</em></strong>, marketing expenses, and a few water coolers to keep your runners and walkers hydrated.</p>
<p>To see if you qualify to become a Licensed Marathon Makeover Team Leader, click the link below and we will send you a short questionnaire to learn more about you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It&#8217;s one thing to set fitness goals, it&#8217;s another thing to follow through. Sometimes it can be downright difficult to keep going when you are going it alone.</p>
<p>What should you do? Don&#8217;t go it alone. Join an online fitness community that can help you stay the course and create a healthier you. Here are 5 ways that an online fitness group can help you succeed in your fitness goals:</p>
<p><strong>1. Strength in (online) numbers</strong><br />
When you have a group of people that are moving toward the same goal and are committed to sticking to healthy habits, everyone can encourage and motivate each other. You are less likely to quit when you&#8217;ve made a commitment to a group and that group is committed to you. When you are accountable to a group – whether online or off – you are more likely to stay committed and it is harder to get away with excuses.</p>
<p><strong>2. Support when and where you need it</strong><br />
Everyone has difficult days when you feel like you aren&#8217;t accomplishing as much as you would like. Maybe you aren&#8217;t losing weight fast enough or you feel like you have to cheat and have some comfort food. It is at these times your online community can really save you. Being part of an online community allows you to express your feelings and get positive feedback and encouragement that will help you stay on course &#8211; almost immediately.</p>
<p><strong>3. You&#8217;re not alone&#8230; when you&#8217;re alone</strong><br />
Joining an online fitness community is a great idea because it helps you develop a relationship with other people who have the same interests as you. By joining an online fitness community or forum, you are able to develop relationships and experience a sense of community and belonging with people from all over the world.</p>
<p>When you are part of a group, you will push yourself harder and will be more committed to the journey. Realizing that you are not the only one struggling and finding it difficult it gives you more confidence to keep going.</p>
<p><strong>4. So many more resources</strong><br />
Online fitness communities can be a wealth of information. You can find almost anything online that you need to succeed. A fitness community or forum will help you reach your goals and give you different motivational techniques. It also allows you to draw from the wealth of experience from those gathered together around a common goal.</p>
<p><strong>5. Information at your fingertips</strong><br />
The Internet is an amazing tool because of all the tips, advice and information you can find online. You can search local group exercise programs in your area, find forums where you can interact with others going through the same struggles, and you can also research different types of eating plans.</p>
<p>With a few clicks of a mouse, you can find information that might be the difference between giving up on – or reaching – your fitness goals.</p>
<p>Marathon Makeover&#8217;s Online Training Program is a 40-week wellness program that incorporates:</p>
<ul>
<li>Online community support</li>
<li>A moderate training schedule</li>
<li>A fun, goal-oriented activity (a half or full marathon)</li>
<li>Ongoing education on how to maintain a healthy YOU – mind, body and spirit</li>
</ul>
<p>Marathon Makeover&#8217;s Online Training Program starts you out with walking one mile and gradually helps you build to being able to finish a half or full marathon. Although completing a race distance is not required, most participants are fully able to complete one of those distances as a result of the training program. We have walkers, runners and those that do a little bit of both.</p>
<p>Who is the average participant? The average participant in Marathon Makeover is a 43-year-old female who is ready to do something spectacular with her health. Seventy percent of the participants are female and the thirty percent male participants are the luckiest guys on the planet! We have had participants from 21 to 71-years-old complete a marathon as a result of completing Marathon Makeover.</p>
<p>A new training season starts in January of 2012 and we have many online participants from across the country. Train with us online and get the support to reach your fitness goals!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Avoiding the threats to your health is key to a long and fulfilling life and most of the threats to a women&#8217;s health are preventable. Recently, we came across an article by the Mayo Clinic staff that outlined the <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/womens-health/WO00014" target="_blank">seven threats</a> to women&#8217;s health and what you can do to prevent them. Here they are&#8230;</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Heart Disease</strong>- it&#8217;s not just a man&#8217;s world when it comes to problems with the old ticker. Heart disease is the number one, preventable health risk for women. What can you do to prevent it?
<ul>
<li>Don&#8217;t smoke</li>
<li>Eat a healthy diet</li>
<li>Manage chronic conditions</li>
<li>Include physical activity in your daily routine</li>
<li>Maintain a healthy weight</li>
<li>Limit alcohol</li>
<li>Manage stress</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Cancer</strong>- Some types of cancer are a concern to women, including breast cancer, lung cancer, skin cancer and colorectal cancer. Consider these general tips to reduce your risk of cancer:
<ul>
<li>Don&#8217;t smoke&#8230; hmmm</li>
<li>Maintain a healthy weight</li>
<li>Get moving</li>
<li>Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables</li>
<li>Protect yourself from the sun</li>
<li>Limit alcohol</li>
<li>Breast-feed, if you can</li>
<li>Take early detection seriously</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Stroke</strong>- Some risk factors are out of your control, such as, age, age, family history and race. Here are things you can do to help reduce the risk:
<ul>
<li>Manage chronic conditions</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t smoke (have we heard this before?)</li>
<li>Make healthy lifestyle choices</li>
<li>Limit alcohol</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Chronic lower respiratory diseases</strong>- Protecting your respiratory health can help prevent chronic lung conditions, such as, bronchitis and emphysema. Here are things that will help:
<ul>
<li>You guessed it&#8230; don&#8217;t smoke!</li>
<li>Avoid pollutants</li>
<li>Prevent respiratory infections</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Alzheimer&#8217;s disease</strong>- There is no guaranteed way to prevent Alzheimer&#8217;s but you should consider doing the following:
<ul>
<li>Manage chronic conditions</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t smoke&#8230; we think there is a pattern here</li>
<li>Include physical activity in your daily routine</li>
<li>Maintain social and mental fitness</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Accidents</strong>- The greatest cause of accidental death in women is motor vehicle crashes. Use common sense when driving and do the following:
<ul>
<li>Wear your seat belt</li>
<li>Drive the speed limit</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t drive sleepy</li>
<li>Don&#8217;t text while driving</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><strong>Type 2 diabetes</strong>- You have to get serious if you want to prevent type 2 diabetes. Here is how:
<ul>
<li>Eat a healthy diet</li>
<li>Include physical activity in your daily routine</li>
<li>If you&#8217;re overweight, lose excess pounds</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ol>
<p>Joining a group wellness program will increase the likelihood you will follow through with your healthy lifestyle. Marathon Makeover is a 40-week wellness program that incorporates:</p>
<ul>
<li>Community support</li>
<li>A moderate training schedule</li>
<li>A fun, goal-oriented activity (a half or full marathon)</li>

<p>Marathon Makeover is a 40-week, marathon-training, wellness program and, under the leadership of Mark and Robin Simpson, is starting its eighth year of helping ordinary people do the extraordinary — train for and finish a marathon!</p>
<p>We have walkers, runners, joggers and woggers (walk/jog) and most of our past marathoners could barely walk or run one mile when they started. Through our hands on training, positive motivation and the friendly group experience of Marathon Makeover, people from all walks of life and ages have grown through this life changing experience.</p>
<p>Marathon Makeover 2012 will kick off in January with “Kick-Off” Meetings in areas near you.</p>
<p><strong>For Program Information &#8211; Call 888.647.8278!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ad152e;">THE PROGRAM</span></h1>
<p>For the first ten weeks, you will participate in informative, Saturday morning, educational meetings that teach you all you need to know to get started and train for a marathon. Special attention is paid to helping everyone connect with others and develop a support team of other highly motivated people.</p>
<p>These fun and informative meetings will be held at locations in your area and will be followed by a group training run/walk that gradually increases each week. A daily training schedule is provided to guide you through your entire training and our online community will give you daily training support and encouragement to help you go the distance.</p>
<p>After the first ten weeks, we will continue to meet on Saturday mornings for group training runs (<em>check your local Team Page to determine the location of your group run/meeting</em>). Hydration stations of water and sports drink are provided for each training run, as well as, post run snacks are organized for the longer runs. Each route is mapped out for you and clearly marked. All you have to do is just show up.</p>
<p><img style="float: left; border: 0pt none; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="It's So Much More!" src="http://marathonmakeover.com/main/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/2011-Theme-logo-update.jpg" alt="It's So Much More!" width="320" height="192" /></p>
<p>The Marathon Makeover Program is so much more than a marathon training program! In addition to training for a marathon, we use the forty weeks to help you transform your self &#8211; mind, body and spirit.</p>
<p>We also provide audios, videos and articles in our private online community that will help you grow in the areas of diet &amp; nutrition, marriage &amp; family enrichment (including parenting), physical fitness, and personal development &amp; motivation. Our panel consists of a licensed &amp; registered dietitian, life coach, exercise physiologist and other guest experts.</p>
<p>While training for a half or full marathon, being surrounded by a caring, supportive community and having access to health and life enrichment experts &#8211; you will come to find that <em><strong>Marathon Makeover is so much more than a marathon! </strong></em></p>
<p><strong>For Program Information &#8211; Call 888.647.8278!</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h1><span style="color: #ad152e;">WHO CAN PARTICIPATE?</span></h1>
<p>Anyone 21 years and older who does not have any disqualifying medical conditions (consult your physician) can participate in Marathon Makeover.</p>
<p><strong>For Program Information &#8211; Call 888.647.8278!</strong></p>
<h1><span style="color: #ad152e;">WHAT&#8217;S THE COST?</span></h1>
