Fitness DVD Created For Military Spouses

NikkiFitness Helps Keep Wives in Shape While Husbands Deployed


(New York, NY)— When Laura E.'s husband was sent to Iraq and
Afghanistan, she was left with a seemingly impossible to-do list. She
had to handle all the household chores, pay the bills, take care of
her young daughter, complete her graduate degree, and work a full-time
job—not to mention worry about her husband at the same time.
She felt lonely and exhausted, and didn't think she had time for
anything else, especially exercising. As her stress and to-do list increased,
and her fitness level dropped, she reached out to a long-time friend and
fitness instructor for a solution.

"Laura and I live far away from each other, so taping a workout was the only
way to act as her virtual personal trainer," explained Nikki, creator of the
NikkiFitness Military Wife Workout (MWW). "She asked for a video that would
combine all muscle groups and cardio in just half an hour, so I made this
DVD for her and all other military wives like her. It's perfect for anyone
whose husband or boyfriend spends a lot of time away from home."

During the DVD creation, Nicole began a monthly fitness column for
www.military.com, which led to hundreds of emails and phone
conversations with other military wives. They all struggle with the
issue of staying in shape while their family members are deployed.

The MWW combines cardio intervals with combination upper and lower body
moves to get every major muscle group toned within 30 minutes. A warm-up and
stretch is included, as well as modifications and challenge adaptations for any fitness level.
It is now available on Amazon.com.

Different than traditional fitness DVD, the MWW will not show a studio full
of women doing the same old routine. It's shot in scenic locations
around New York City, with quick edits to keep people entertained and visually stimulated.

Also, in the spirit of YouTube and iPod and thousands of products tailored
to individual tastes, one generic sountrack isn't forced on
participants. The DVD sends exercisers to www.nikkifitness.com for their own playlist suggestions
in many different genres. Each workout can include new music.
