No Gym Needed in Episode 10 “First Workouts” on “The Balancing Act’s” Makeover Series on Lifetime TV

Indoor and Outdoor Home Workouts Work Wonders on ‘A Lifetime of Health and Wellness Makeover™’ Series

(Pompano Beach, FL –April 27, 2012)  “Keep your Chin Up, Shoulders Back” and “Head Up and Eyes Up!”are just two of many tips the makeover women hear as their chosen personal fitness trainers show them how to tighten up problems areas like abs right in their own living rooms. This week’s episode highlights Antonia and Melissa, as their fitness journeys shape up both inside and outside their homes on April 30th at 7:00 a.m. (ET/PT) on the ‘A Lifetime of Health and Wellness Makeover™’ series on “The Balancing Act” on Lifetime television.

First up is Antonia Woods, 38, a professional singer, who belts out tunes in time with her lunges while she works out with her matched-up trainer Luca. The pair quickly gets the workout ball rolling with a series of exercises which viewers can also do in the comfort of their living rooms. Antonia’s goal is to lose weight, resculpt her body, and show some muscle, but as she states, ‘Not as big as Luca’s!’

Personal trainer Troy takes it outside for Melissa Jablonski, 39, the next and final makeover lady of the group.  Melissa uses the space of the great outdoors to work up a sweat and stretch herself beyond her goals. Lucas’ fitness routine for her includes ab crunches and weighted vests to help her burn more calories. Make sure to tune in to see if this pair is in tune.

The makeover ladies are all in for a ”shocking surprise” when they each receive Shock Absorber workout wear to try on and keep, to help them on their Health and Wellness journeys.

“Watching the women work out at their homes -- both inside and outside -- is a great motivator for our “Balancing Act” viewers. Without investing in the time or expense needed to go to a gym, women everywhere can immediately begin a fitness routine by following along with our makeover women and trainers using common household items like water bottles or a staircase. When outside the home environment, incorporating small changes like taking the stairs instead of an escalator can add up. Look for one opportunity each day to increase your activity”, says Dr. Tom Deters, Managing Director of the “A Lifetime of Health and Wellness Makeover”™ series.

Stay tuned next week as viewers will witness a few heated moments… between the women and their trainers… or between each other?
