Early Setbacks: Piracy Hurts

The Power 90 group has suffered some early setbacks. Because piracy hurts, we were not able to successfully copy and distribute the Power 90 DVDs*. In order to start our total body transformation today we would have needed to all get together, which proved impossible. I'm choosing to look on the bright side: Thanksgiving. Enough said.

For purposes of encouragement, I'm providing an inspirational quote from Tony Horton: "If you're ready to lose up to 92 pounds of fat and trim up to 10 inches off your waistline, just click YES below now!"

And from his bio: "Tony Horton wasn't always a Beachbody. Born in Westley, RI, and raised in Trumbull, CT, Tony preferred fast food to his mother's healthy home cooking. As a kid, he hated exercising and didn't particularly like sports. He describes himself then as the 'quintessential 98-pound weakling,' and had all the insecurities that go along with it." And there's more where that came from!

We'll reconvene next week.



*In 2005 the motion picture industry lost 18.2 million dollars because of piracy. Specifically, those impacted were foreign and domestic producers, distributors, theaters, video stores and pay-per-view operators. Many "A-list" actors make 20 million per film--the same amount that producers, distributors, theaters, ... etc., lost. Seems like we'd all be happy with a little reallocation.

Hey Tony,
Let us know when your hitting the gym again at South Shore Fitness in Westerly!!! We'd hope you can do a session there! Do you surf?

Peacefully,
