With the down economy affecting employee attitude and wellbeing, Flip Fitness offers an ideal fitness program for a healthful workplace 

BALA CYNWYD, Pa. (May 5, 2009) - When Flip Fitness won a year of free office space with American Executive Centers - the Delaware Valley's premier office business center with seven convenient locations - little did the American Executive Centers staff know that they would soon be introduced to a fitness program so creative that they would be able to get fit while they sit! Sweeping the east coast, Flip Fitness is the latest fitness phenomenon offering a 30-minute, total body workout program designed around a distinct deck of playing cards. No other equipment is required and the unique exercise program can be done in virtually any space. Each deck contains 52 cards, 2 water breaks, 3 workout cards (Levels ONE, TWO & THREE) and a description of how to play the game. Flip Fitness is designed to meet the needs of the beginner exerciser to the workout guru as well as anyone in between, as there are 3 progressive workouts. The first Flip Fitness program, Functional, can be done while sitting and is ideal for people with a desk job and for those who have limited mobility. As each level is mastered, anyone can continue to progress to more advanced exercise programs by purchasing new workout cards at the Flip Fitness website (www.flipfitness.com).

            "Fitness is so important for all of us - especially at a time when people are feeling anxious, stressed or depressed about the down economy...not to mention the fact that bathing suit season's approaching," says Susan McInerney, Flip Fitness co-owner. "We believe that exercise should be accessible to anyone no matter what limitations people face whether they relate to finances, time, or physical condition and mobility. An exercise program should also be one of convenience so it can be done anywhere at any time. That's why we developed a total body workout that allows people to get fit, inexpensively and without spending hours in the gym," continues McInerney.

            "Our staff is flipping over the Flip Fitness workout program!" stated G. Michael Howard, President of American Executive Centers. "Who knew you could get fit while sitting at your desk! That's exactly what the partners of Flip Fitness introduced to us when they took an office at our Bala Cynwyd Office Business Center after winning our Instant Office Contest that aired this past fall on NBC Channel 10 with Tracy Davidson. During breaks and occasional downtime, our staff has been working the Flip Fitness exercises into their work day - literally while they sit! Having always been active and physically fit, Flip Fitness is unlike any fitness program I've experienced...and while it may seem unusual as it centers on a deck of playing cards, it really does the job!" adds Howard.

            American Executive Centers is not the only corporate business flipping, others within the Philadelphia region include Deloitte, Amtrak, Independence Blue Cross, City of Philadelphia's Employee Health Fairs, State Representative Mike McGeehan's office, United States Coast Guard William Tate Ship, and all 100 of the City of Philadelphia's Recreation Centers' staff and After School Care students, to name a few.
