There is an renewed interest in staying fit and healthy and WorkOUT USA provides a unique business opportunity to take advantage of this trend in obtaining and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Tampa, FL (PRWEB) March 02, 2012

According to a recent survey by the Dept. of Health and Human Services, 1 in 3 American's are obese and 74% of men are overweight....64% of women are overweight and about one in three American kids and teens are overweight or obese, nearly triple the rate in 1963. With good reason, childhood obesity is now the No. 1 health concern among parents in the United States, topping drug abuse and smoking.

These statistics have to be reversed so in January, 2012 Max Cannon created the concept for WorkOUT USA to provide a low cost opportunity for those interested in getting and staying fit so they could spread the word about the benefits of a healthy lifestyle.

WorkOUT USA provides an opportunity to promote local gyms, personal trainers, cross fit, yoga, pilates, weight loss and other fitness related business goods and services. Spread the word and assist others in making a lifestyle change so they can enjoy the benefits of exercising, eating right and feeling good.

Individual city licenses maybe purchased for as low as $199 which includes a custom web site and complete business plan.

WorkOUT USA is partnering with several well know affiliate programs including Schwaggle, Spartan Races and OnLine Sports to provide addition benefits to Licensees.

Let's say you have been working in your career for 20 or more years and are well compensated, but now you are having second thoughts about continuing down this path. Here are some signs that early retirement might be right for you:

[See 10 Important Ages for Retirement Planning.]

1. People with less seniority are doing a similar job to you. It's natural to take on more and more responsibilities as you gain seniority and get promoted. As you get paid more, your boss expects more productivity. If you take a look around your team meeting and see that you are the most senior member and getting paid the most, then it might be time to either take on even more responsibilities or perhaps move on.

2. Each Monday it is getting more difficult to come to work. You don't enjoy your job anymore and don't really like your co-workers. You are stressed all the time, which is affecting your mental and physical health. If this describes your situation, then it's time to search for an alternative.

[See 15 Ways to Tell if You Are Ready to Retire.]

3. You hit a plateau. Your career has hit the proverbial brick wall. Perhaps the next promotion requires something that you don't have, such as an extreme time commitment or stellar leadership skills. In today's corporate environment, all employees must keep evolving and grow. If you hit a plateau, other people will catch up and pass you by.

4. You want a career change. You are bored with your job and want to focus on other interests. We all know the grass is always greener on the other side, but sometimes we have to find out if it's true or not. If you have the knowledge, skills, and abilities to start your own business or if you want to simply try out another career, then it may be time to go it alone.

5. You have enough side income to cover your monthly expenses. If you have enough side income to pay the bills without the salary from your full-time job, then early retirement becomes a real possibility. Diligent investing in dividend stocks, rental real estate, bonds, and other income producing assets can give you this option in the long run. Even if the investment income does not fully cover the bills, you can freelance or work part time to make up the rest of it.

[See 5 Alternatives to Traditional Retirement.]

If you are miserable all the time at your job, and you feel as though you are unable to advance in your career or achieve work-life balance, perhaps it is time for a change. If your job fails to excite you and you have a significant amount of savings and investments, you should start to think seriously about your exit strategy.

13-03-2011 23:35 Learn Piano FREE only 1 more day! bit.ly In this video, Mahalo expert Gene Shaw explains the various settings and options in the Performance tab under Preferences. Performance Preferences --------------------------------------------------------------------- Photoshop has several options that can be changed to optimize its performance. These can be changed in the Performance tab of the Preferences panel. 1. Open the Preferences menu by pressing Ctrl+K (Command+K for Mac) and click on the tab Performance.2. One thing you'll want to focus on here is Memory Usage. Photoshop helps you out by giving you an ideal range. This number is based on what Photoshop thinks is the amount of RAM that the rest of your computer needs to operate effectively without crashing or without slowing down Photoshop. 70% is the default. It might be a good idea to change this if Photoshop is the only program you're using or going to use (which is most likely a rarity), in which case 80% is a good increase. Otherwise, if you're using several programs at once, a decrease to 60% or even 50% is a good idea. It all depends on your personal computing habits. Basically, if you're switching back and forth between multiple programs, it's a good idea to keep in mind how much memory each program is using so your computer can run as efficiently as possible. 3. If you don't know a good setting for the History & Cache, then Default is probably your best option. The other two options are Tall & Thin or Big & Flat ...

HOUSTON, Feb. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Kraton Performance Polymers, Inc. (NYSE: KRA - News), a leading global producer of styrenic block copolymers, announces financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

2011 FOURTH QUARTER HIGHLIGHTS

"Despite significant volatility in raw material prices throughout 2011 and the uncertain global economic environment in the second half of the year, Kraton reported full-year 2011 Adjusted EBITDA of $194 million, the second highest in the company's history," said Kevin M. Fogarty, Kraton's President and Chief Executive Officer. "Although 2011 sales volumes were essentially flat with the prior year, reflecting the impact of customer destocking and competitive price dynamics in certain markets, we experienced volume growth in our more differentiated Cariflex and HSBC products. Furthermore, we were able to defend unit margins through continued implementation of our Price Right strategy as butadiene prices rose throughout much of the year, reaching record levels in the third quarter. Regarding our innovation results, in 2011 we proudly achieved a Vitality Index, reflecting the percentage of sales directly attributable to innovation sales commercialized in the prior 5 years, of 14.3%, a 137 basis point improvement from 2010," said Fogarty.

EAST LANSING -- Michigan State University will not release police video of state Rep. Bob Genetski performing roadside sobriety tests because it constitutes an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy, a university official says.

The refusal comes after the video was played in its entirety including the sobriety tests during a public hearing Monday related to the Saugatuck Republicans arrest for drunken driving.

The copy released by the university one day later, a month after MLive Media Group requested it through the Freedom of Information Act, is edited to remove Genetskis performance on the tests.

The deletions include his responses when the MSU police officer asks him to recite the alphabet, count backwards and walk in a straight line.

See how Michigan State University's Freedom of Information Office redacted details from police reports on state Rep. Robert Genetski's roadside sobriety tests.

The video is also edited to remove Genetski telling the officer he had consumed two beers, the last of which he said occurred half an hour before the traffic stop.

To me it is something of a personal nature, intimate and embarrassing, said Ellen Armentrout, MSUs Freedom of Information Act officer.

She said she knew the tape had been played in full in a drivers license suspension hearing which MLive attended but said just because something is public in one venue does not mean it is public in all venues.

The edited video does show the exchange between Genetski and the officer when Genetski declines to take a breath test at the scene:

Genetski: Im not taking the test. I want to see the reading that shows I was going 44 mph.
