World's Leading Fitness instructors Team up With Media Giant

To Introduce Full Day of Free Online "BIGGEST LOSER" Workouts

LOS ANGELES (July15, 2012) – On July 18, 2012, the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA), the leading organization for fitness instructor training and certification, will feature over seven hours of free exercise classes online, designed for people struggling with overweight and obesity.

AFAA trainers team up with NBC and "Biggest Loser" former contestants to accomplish this super-session, which offers free 30-minute classes, taught by an AFAA Certified Biggest Loser ® Pro, beginning every half-hour from 9:30 am PDT to the last class at 3:30 pm PDT. The whole day is devoted to beginner level exercise sessions.

It's a Super-Exercise Session Day with a Super-Mission!

Research finds that overweight or obese individuals feel less intimidated, less awkward and more comfortable by working out in safe, personalized, non-threatening environments…and there's no better way for that to happen than in the privacy of one's own home. So to get the right support, and the right techniques, to people-of-size who want to improve their health for good, AFAA launches this first-time, fabulous, full day of free online workouts from the top experts in their fields to herald the premier of the new website: www.BiggestLoserLiveTraining.com
