Company Brings Expanded Selection of Fitness DVDs for Rental to the Internet

Saved to DVDs and Books by Administrator Tuesday October 25, 2005

FlicketyFit.com is a new site for online rental of speciality fitness DVDs.

Missoula, MT (PRWEB) — Flicketyfit.com, the nation’s first DVD video rental company exclusively featuring fitness DVDs, launched earlier this year. Founded by long-time group fitness instructor, Cathy Crane, flicketyfit.com offers a large selection of pilates, yoga, step & cycling videos as well as some of the newer trends like stripping for fitness and stability ball workouts.

For as little as a $11.99 monthly fee, members can order DVDs and keep them as long as they like. If a member decides to keep a dvd, Flicketyfit will charge their credit card and ship out the corresponding case. If a member is seeking something that currently isn’t in stock, Crane will specially order it. You can also buy some of the more popular titles, brand new, from the site. Shipping is always pre-paid and the customer does not have to worry about it.

Crane, who, like other instructors, pays thousands of dollars a year to attend conferences & workshops, needed a way to learn from top instructors when the workshops and conferences were cost prohibitive and offered at an inconvenient time. As the cost of travel and fitness education rose & as Crane found herself stuck with DVDs she viewed once & never used again, she looked for a way to offer fitness professionals the opportunity to cost-effectively keep current in new fitness trends.

“People at the club are always asking me to recommend videos for them to use while on vacation or when they can’t get to the gym, “ Crane states, “ Offering a fitness DVD rental service should satisfy fitness professionals and fitness seekers.” Flickety Fit is different than other generic rental services in that it stocks some of the rarer titles that only the most discriminating home workout client will know about. “Just because it is the dvd that sold the most copies doesn’t mean it is the best quality out there”, says Crane. “We strive to be the source for some of the great fitness dvds you might have never heard of.”

With gas prices on the rise and electricity close behind, people are staying home for their workouts more and more because a gym membership has become one of the luxuries people are cutting down on this year. “Exercise is not a luxury, though,” says Crane. “People need to do whatever it takes to make working out interesting enough so they will actually do it. Flickety Fit was created to fill that need.”

With the number of dvds on the market, someone seeking a workout dvd that features a compatible instructor, pace & music could spend hundreds of dollars finding that just-right fit. The site features descriptions and pictures of each of the DVDs.

About Flickety Fit
Now in it’s inaugural year, flicketyfit provides an assortment of fitness DVD for rental for a monthly subscription fee. Flicketyfit is a privately held company based in Missoula, Montana and is owned and operated by a long-time fitness instructor.

Anusaragate

2012 is only a month old and already there's been more drama in the yoga world than we usually see all year. First, there was that yoga injuries article in The New York Times, which prompted responses from many of yoga's leading teachers and much discussion both inside and outside of the yoga community. Now, another story seems poised to make waves: the possible fall from grace of Anusara yoga founder John Friend. Last week, blogger YogaDork published information from an anonymous website, alleging personal and professional misconduct by Friend (for all the details, see here). A response of sorts has now been posted on both YogaDork and Elephant Journal, in the form of a letter Friend sent to members of the Anusara community, acknowledging that there is some truth to the accusations. An interview with Friend by Elephant Journal editor Waylon Lewis is expected to be published this afternoon, and hopefully will begin to elucidate the direction Anusara will take in face of this scandal. Stay tuned...

[Update: Here is the interview, in which Friend admits to inappropriate, though consensual, sexual relationships with female students and employees and supplies documents relating to the discontinuation of the Anusara employee pension plan.]

The Book Behind The Article

The New York Times article that created so much buzz a few weeks ago ("How Yoga Can Wreck Your Body") is back in the news, as the book, entitled The Science of Yoga, behind the article has just been published. In addition to my review (which I'm sure you have already read), now you can read The New York Times' own review, listen to author William Broad on NPR's Fresh Air, and/or head to your nearest bookstore and pick up a copy.

Legs Up the Wall - Viparita Karani Is the Yoga Pose of the Week

I've been taking a break from shoulderstand lately due to a stiff neck, but I've been really enjoying substituting legs-up-the-wall pose instead. Try taking a block or bolster under your butt in this pose and playing around with different leg variations, like taking the legs wide, into a baddha konasana position with the soles of the feet touching, or even into lotus if that pose is part of your practice.
