Everyone Has Time for Fitness

Think you don't have time for fitness? Kevin Gianni and Annmarie Colameo beg to differ.

A certified personal trainer and a certified athletic trainer, respectively, the husband and wife team are the owners of Lifestyle Fitness In-Home Personal Training.

Kevin and Annmarie recently published "The Busy Person's Fitness Solution," a new book outlining a wellness system that promises to "get you motivated, skyrocket your energy levels and boost your productivity" in just a few hours a week.

"Our approach is holistic. It's about taking everything you know, throwing it out and learning some new things, considering some new possibilities and enjoying the process."

In the book, Kevin and Annmarie start out by debunking what they call the "Seven Biggest Health and Fitness Lies," including such myths as "no pain, no gain," and the notion that health and fitness gadgets and gizmos ever live up to their promises.
