America’s State Parks stepped into 2012 in spectacular fashion with guided First Day Hikes across the country in all 50 states January 1st. From Florida to Alaska and Maine to California, over 14,000 people celebrated the New Year by hiking in a state park, choosing from 400 hikes sponsored by state park systems throughout the nation. In past years, many parks have offered special programs on New Year?s Day, however, this is the first time all 50 state park systems joined together as America?s State Parks to host First Day Hikes on January 1, 2012.
?We thought that New Year?s Day was the perfect opportunity for people throughout the nation to start 2012 by connecting with nature, engaging in physical activity in our state parks and promoting healthy lifestyles all year long,? said Ruth Coleman, President of the National Association of State Park Directors (NASPD). ?We are thrilled with the turnout for this inaugural event and hope that these hikes have inspired our visitors to continue hiking and recreating in our state parks throughout the year.?
?Physical activity and getting out in nature is essential to our well being,? said Phil McKnelly, NASPD?s Executive Director. ?Our state parks are the perfect backdrop for exercising and having fun, as well as enjoying the diversity of the natural resources that are a hallmark of our country.?
The majority of hikes were moderate, appealing to a wide audience, yet some adventure seekers selected strenuous hikes to get their hearts pumping for the New Year! Nationwide, participants hiked over 30,000 miles, enjoying a diversity of landscapes and a variety of temperatures. Many spotted wildlife, experienced commanding views and learned some history of the parks they visited.
In Massachusetts, Governor Deval Patrick joined 84 hikers for a strenuous First Day Hike up Mount Greylock, the state’s first wilderness state park and the state’s highest peak. Across the state, at the Blue Hills Reservation, the Massachusetts state park where First Day Hikes originated 21 years ago, 1000 people joined ranger led hikes after signing a ?Naturally Healthy New Year? Resolution. Participants pledged to engage in outdoor recreation in state parks and to eat locally grown and produced food products to promote good health.
In California, over 500 visitors who hiked in 25 state parks were treated to some unique sights. Fittingly, 16 people greeted 2012 at A

Denville, NJ (PRWEB) January 01, 2012
According to the product?s developer Arnel Ricafranca, their 28-day weight loss program was designed to teach people clever little tips and tricks about their favorite foods, so they can eat them and not feel guilty about it.
?Now that the new year is here, I wrote the ?Fat Loss Ignition Food Swap Guide? to help everyone discover how to make healthy substitutes of the foods you love the most. This will help you preserve all the taste and flavor of the food you like, and ignite fat loss at the same time. You?ll get recipes that are based on our proprietary formula of what constitutes an FLI score for a meal,? said Ricafranca.
?Here?s the formula = 1 FLI score equals 12.5 grams of healthy carbohydrates (specifically selected carbohydrates to eliminate insulin spikes). It also contains 10 grams of delicious, flavorful proteins and 2.5 grams of rich, heart healthy fat,? he added.
However, he quickly noted that based on one?s gender, height, and weight, the user will know the maximum FLI score her or she can eat in a single meal and still lose weight. Besides, you?ll also know your daily FLI score.
Ricafranca also assured that users won?t have to worry about the intricacies of the junk food tricks? in the FLI Food Swap Guide, because he?ll be helping them figure it all out as he claimed to have more advanced calculators and recipes, including baking recipes for them to use in the members area. For more information, please visit http://www.fatlossignition.com.
Also, Ricafranca added that as persons reach their goals with the Fat Loss Ignition program, they will continue to eat delicious foods that balance healthy carbohydrates with lean proteins and heart healthy fats. ?For example, we have FLI 4 score and FLI 5 score versions of your favorite recipes like chocolate chip pancakes, quarter pound burgers, pepperoni pan fried pizza, cheesy chicken enchiladas, fish tacos, double chocolate milkshakes and much more,? he said.
Ricafranca also claimed that eating fresh, hot, delicious and healthy FLI foods every day (most of them take 10 minutes to prepare) and following the exercise guidelines in the ?Fat Loss Ignition Training Manual? will allow persons on the program to reset their body?s insulin levels and ignite fat loss, allowing you to lose 10 per cent of their unwanted body weight in in 28 days and continue losing weight till you reach your goals.
?Once you claim your personal copy of the Fat Loss Ignition manual, you?ll notice that FLI baked recipes taste the same (or better) than traditional recipes and make you feel full faster,? he added.

Spokane, WA (PRWEB) December 29, 2011
At the conclusion of a successful year that included winning the ITU Long Distance Triathlon World Championships for Men 30-34, top-ranked age-group triathlete Ben Greenfield has announced his goal of turning pro in 2012. A coach and author of several books on fitness, metabolism and diet, Ben specializes in nutrition, weight loss, and endurance athlete program design. Known for trying alternative methods of training, he incorporated the ElliptiGO into both training and daily life this past year, achieving stellar results.
As someone with a deep background in exercise science, Ben is very open to evaluating new and different ways of training, and is a big advocate of cross-training. ?I like to try alternative methods and see how my body responds,? states Greenfield. At the Coeur d?Alene Ironman triathlon in June of this year, he saw someone cruising around on an ElliptiGO and watching the race. ?I chased the guy down and asked him to let me ride it around for a while. I was surprised at how fun and fast it was, and it was immediately clear to me that this was the most awesome cross-training tool I?d ever come across. I had to have one.?
Designed by runners, the ElliptiGO is the first outdoor, low-impact, fitness device specifically engineered to emulate the running motion. It allows athletes of all levels to get a high-intensity workout without experiencing the repetitive impact of running. Healthy and injured athletes alike have found it the most effective way to get an outdoor running experience without the usual pounding on their bodies.
?I?ve always emphasized quality over quantity in both my own training and with my athletes.? states Greenfield. ?Your joints have a finite amount of pounding they can take before they start to break down, so you have to train smarter, not harder. To me that means lots of intervals, more cross-training and less running. The ElliptiGO is a great addition to my training because it has allowed me to take the low-impact elliptical machine workouts that I enjoy outside.?
As he notes on his blog, http://www.bengreenfieldfitness.com, the elliptical machine often gets a bad rap among ?hardcore? athletes as being a slightly subpar workout compared to running and cycling. ?But in reality, elliptical trainers can be more difficult, more effective, more time-saving, and offer a more full-body workout compared to other cardiovascular modes of exercise,? says Greenfield.
The ElliptiGO has also become much more than just a piece of equipment that Ben uses for training. ?I use the ElliptiGO very organically as a part of my everyday life, too. It?s not just a cross-training tool, but a mode of transportation that lets you sneak some extra activity into your day. I ride it a few miles to the gym or to play tennis. I can ride it to the store and bring home a few groceries. I?ll go hard for training, but the ElliptiGO is so versatile and fun, I?m not limited in how I use it.?
Greenfield?s success this past year has been proof of how effective his cross-training has become. ?I used the ElliptiGO twice a week and only ran once a week in my training leading up to my win at the ITU Long Course World Championships this year. Not only that, but I was faster than last year when I was running more often. It?s not hard to make the connection. The ElliptiGO is an effective, efficient way to cross-train.?
?Ben is a great example of someone who is using the ElliptiGO to its full potential,? said Bryan Pate, Co-Founder and Co-President of ElliptiGO. ?He?s using it as a powerful cross-training tool to build endurance and get faster; he?s replacing high-impact workouts to lessen the wear and tear on his body, plus he?s using the ElliptiGO as a fun way to get around town and run errands. Ben is getting the maximum benefit from this versatile tool and we?re looking forward to seeing him achieve his goal of racing as a professional triathlete next year.?
Looking forward to next year, Ben knows he?ll have to get serious with his training early on in order to get his Pro card from USAT. Right now he plans to start off 2012 at the TriStar Mallorca International Triathlon, and if all goes right he?ll finish out the year as a professional triathlete.
?I?m thrilled at how well I?ve been racing over the past year and I want to race strong for years to come. By taking away the impact of running, the ElliptiGO is allowing me to extend my career as a triathlete while making me faster at the same time. You can?t ask for more than that.?
The ElliptiGO is available for sale at http://www.elliptigo.com and at specialty bike or fitness stores in ElliptiGO?s national dealer network.
