Elizabethtown, KY (PRWEB) April 16, 2012

Fit Yummy Mummy, a fitness company devoted to exercises for moms, has just concluded its 12 week New Year?s ?Amazing You? Transformation Challenge. After months of challenging workouts, 7 finalists have been named. Voting is now open and runs through 8:00 am EST on Friday, April 20th.

The contest started on January 16th, with over 250 women joining the Transformation Challenge hosted by Fit Yummy Mummy?s Club FYM. The challenge brought about dozens of impressive physical transformations, and over 80 women submitted their results for consideration.

?These women made a commitment to do what it takes to kick off 2012 with a new outlook on life and achieve their healthy, fit and body shaping goals by participating in this 12 week challenge experience,? said Fit Yummy Mummy owner Holly Rigsby.

It can be difficult for new moms to lose weight, but Rigsby specializes in getting results for this particular subset of women. Ultimately, her decision came down to 7 finalists who demonstrated the willpower to overcome the challenges that come with fat loss.

?As all women know,? Rigsby said, ?it can be tough to lose fat after having a child. Cardio simply doesn?t work, so these women all used strategies available in Fit Yummy Mummy products and my blog posts to banish their mommy belly for good.?

Bekah, one finalist, lost eight and a half pounds and 3.75 inches off of her belly by participating in Rigsby?s busy mom workout routines. Another, Danielle, lost five inches of belly fat.

Other finalists include Cindy (18 pounds lost, 2.75 inches off belly, 3.5 inches off hips), Lila (18 pounds lost and 6 inches off hips), Emma (19 pounds lost), and Melissa (16 pounds lost).

The final finalist, Sara, dropped 24 pounds and achieved her goal of losing her mommy belly by taking off 6.5 inches of stomach and 5.5 inches off hips.

Proud of her results, Sara explained, ?I was at a point where I was mortified about my body. [But now] I love this new lifestyle, and I am excited to continue to progress through the workouts and further challenge myself.?

New moms can struggle to lose fat in specific problem areas, including the butt, thighs, and abdominal region, but Holly Rigsby thinks it is clear from the successes of these women that this doesn?t have to be the case for all new moms.

?Many women simply do not know how to lose that mommy belly or their butt and thighs after giving birth,? Rigsby continued. ?Fit Yummy Mummy?s workouts for moms help women achieve their goals.?

Voting is open now and runs through 8 AM EST on Friday, April 20th. The top three winners will be announced later on that Friday.

To vote, visit: http://www.clubfym.com/public/Transformation-Results–NYTC-12.cfm.

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 11 April 2012

The appeal of a motorhome is the freedom and the flexibility to choose your own holiday with your particular pastime, be it mountain biking, canoeing, walking, or just taking in the scenery.

There was much talk about ‘The Golden Age of Motorhome Hire’ at the Motorhome, Caravan and Camping Show in London in February 2012. Andrew Hughes of Cambridge based motorhome hire company Motorholme said:

“We termed right now as the beginning of ?The Golden Age of Motorhome Hire’ kicking off with the Euro 2012 UEFA Finals, which are in Poland and the Ukraine where you can use a motorhome to get to the different venues and games. Followed up nicely by the Olympics, which is in August, and then the Paralympics that runs on into September.”

There is certainly a trend these days towards keeping your accommodation versatile for these events with multiple venues and a motorhome is an ideal solution.

In addition to the above there is also a growing trend for people just wanting to get back to camping, but in a more luxurious way. Nick Lomas from ‘The Caravan Club’ said:

“In the last ten years our membership alone has gone up by about 50,000 households which means 100,000 new people coming into the pastime, so it definitely is growing. Motorhoming in particular is the biggest growing sector and that used to be about 20% of our membership and for new members now it?s about 30%, so it?s definitely the sector that?s seeing a growth at this current time…lots of people that previously thought about owning a home abroad are now thinking about motorhomes as a way to tour all over the UK and all over Europe as well.”

Nick’s words are so true, there are still plenty of people whose idea of getting away from it all is to hire a motorhome, put it on a cheap ferry to France and head off into Europe. At the Motorhome, Caravan and Camping Show, artist and relentless motorhomer Susan Clements said:

“Whether it?s your first motorhome trip abroad or you are an experienced motorhomer in Europe, the lure of the French Riviera as a holiday destination is undeniable. The resorts of Nice, Antibes and Cannes offer a wide variety of beautiful beaches to suit all tastes, a mild climate with many hours of sunshine plus fabulous food and wine. Yes, you can spend a lot of money in the south of France if you want to, but with a motorhome you don?t need to! If you can travel before the high season period you will be able to take advantage of lower prices on the campsites and avoid some of the crowds.”

So it does seem that this is indeed The Golden Age of Motorhome Hire and for those who fancy using a motorhome whenever they like, Andrew Hughes of Motorholme has come up with a new idea called ‘Options’, where he reveals that:

“You’ll soon know how to enjoy a brand new motorhome from less than ?3.55 per day!”.

The scheme will be unveiled at their open day on the 28th April 2012 and seems to be a closely guarded secret. But you can apply for the information in the form of a free downloadable guide. Andrew says:

“Motorhome Options has been created by the hire experts – and applies whether you?re thinking about buying a motorhome, never thought you could afford one, or even if you don’t have room on your driveway! You?ll find the free guide contains a wealth of information about how to enjoy a brand new motorhome without any of the hassle. No finance, credit checks or deposit, just one low, fixed monthly fee – it couldn’t be easier or cheaper to enjoy a brand new motorhome!”

(PRWEB) April 10, 2012

Best-selling NH author Barry James Dyke reports that Mitt Romney, Wall Street finance and wealthy politicians “have a steamy love affair with the for-profit education student loan academic-industrial-complex.” In his new book, The Pirates of Manhattan II: Highway to Serfdom http://www.thepiratesofmanhattan.com the author documents the oncoming $ 1 trillion student loan tsunami in both for-profit and not-for-profit schools. Dyke argues the interconnection of Wall Street private equity firms in monster ?club deals? which include Bain Capital, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, KKR, Carlyle and Providence Equity.

The author states, ?For-profit education companies revenue stream is almost entirely dependent on the federal government funded student loans. For-profit school enrollment has gone from 385,000 in 2000 to 1.8 million in 2010. The Government Accounting Office (GAO), in a 2010 report found that for-profit colleges engaged in deceptive practices, encouraged fraud to enroll students, saddled them with large debts and offered few solid job prospects to pay back loans. For-profit schools enroll 10% of the people into colleges, used up 25% of government financial aid and account for 44% of student loan defaults? The author continues, ?to make matters worse, much of for-profit education student loan academic complex capital/equity base is supplied by mutual funds, which get their funding from Main Street America?s 401(k)s. It?s another showcase for Wall Street greed, and when it implodes, the taxpayer will hold the bag.?

The author explains, “Mitt Romney?s Florida primary fundraising chairman was James ‘Bill’ Heavener, the CEO of Full Sail University, a for-profit college. Heavener contributed $ 85 thousand to a super PAC (Political Action Committee) Restore Our Future?supporting Romney which is run by former Romney aides.” (To see Romney?s endorsement of Full Sail and other for-profit schools, see this YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wF_9r6-DLTw )
