Atlanta, GA (PRWEB)

Polaris Marketing Research Inc. announced today findings from its most recent suinc.rvey of 1,207 online Americans, supported by Research Now for data collection and analysis. Confirming media coverage and our widespread suspicions, in the past three years, 70 percent of online Americans have tried to lose weight. And although men and women report they have about the same number of pounds to lose (32.8 pounds for men vs. 32.0 pounds for women), women are significantly more likely to say they have tried to lose weight than men (76 percent for women and 62 percent for men).

?While both men and women have tried eating less (82 percent for men vs. 84 percent for women) and exercising more (82 percent for men and 79 percent for women), women are significantly more likely to try other methods for weight loss than are men, such as purchasing books or DVDs or doing Internet research (28 percent of women), eating pre-packaged meals from the grocery store (22 percent of women), joining Weight Watchers (13 percent of women) and purchasing a meal program (7 percent of women),? said Polaris Marketing Research President Jan Carlson.

?Men and women are also different in the obstacles they cite for their lack of ability to lose weight,? continued Carlson. Women are significantly more likely than men to say that ?too much stress? is an obstacle for weight loss (39 percent of women vs. 28 percent of men), while men were significantly more likely to note ?eating out in restaurants? (33 percent of men vs. 26 percent of women) and bigger portion sizes as the culprits (35 percent of men vs. 28 percent of women).

While comparable percentages of men and women reported being ?extremely successful? and ?moderately successful? in the weight loss game, men are significantly more likely than women to say they have been ?somewhat success in losing weight, but have not kept it off? (39 percent of men vs. 32 percent of women). However, women are much more fatalistic and likely to say they are ?not at all successful? and ?just can?t lose the weight? (18 percent of women vs. 9 percent of men).

Chino Hills, CA (PRWEB)

Part of being a successful business person in any field is forming partnerships with other successful entrepreneurs. Personal trainers can learn a lot about personal trainer marketing and securing more clients in 2012 by interacting with other industry leaders at masterminds, seminars and weekend workshops. Sam Bakhtiar is a self-made millionaire personal trainer and entrepreneur who sets up such meetings-of-the-minds to bring together industry powerhouses and share ?best practices.?

Experienced trainers and fitness business moguls who are interested in learning time-saving strategies, cost-cutting measures and revenue-increasing models can get started by texting ?7FIGURES? to 77453 to receive a free 15-minute business coaching call with Sam Bakhtiar to get a taste of his brand of personal trainer marketing. From there, industry professionals may then choose to attend a weekend mastermind workshop or continue business coaching by phone, if they desire.????

?One of the things you?ll learn at my personal trainer marketing workshop is that there are many paths to prosperity in this industry,? Sam explains. One strategy to secure more clients and earn greater returns is to focus on the luxury condo market, he says. ?Here is a targeted group of wealthy clients who are hungry for this convenient, on-site service, with no one there to fill the need!?

Referral personal trainer marketing is another path to fitness business prosperity, according to Sam Bakhtiar. ?Many a millionaire is made simply by understanding how to get your clients to do the vast majority of the marketing for you. This system is very low-cost to operate, even when you consider giving $ 200 kick-backs for every referral.?

Some personal trainer marketing millionaires broke into six and seven-figure income by partnering with healthcare professionals and getting referrals that way. ?This niche is not very well exploited across the country, but I expect it will grow considerably as the national healthcare focus shifts to preventative medicine.? He adds that it?s important to give healthcare professionals cash incentives for their referrals too.

Lastly, there are personal trainers who team up with private gyms like Gold?s, Powerhouse and Dolphin Fitness Clubs to have exclusive training rights there. Sam says, ?Short of owning your own studio, this is the best option because you can have freedom, a captive audience of prospects, and you can flex your sales chops at a solid home-base.?

Ultimately, the most successful trainers are the ones who have integrity and treat people well straight out of the package, but who also refine their processes and systems over time. Networking with important, powerful and successful trainers is the best education one can invest in. For more personal trainer marketing advice, visit http://www.super-trainer.com.

Denver, CO (PRWEB)

Dr. Oscar A. Aguirre of Aguirre Specialty Care in Denver has introduced a combination procedure called ASC Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck with Liposuction), that is quickly becoming popular among women who have experienced childbirth, lost or gained a considerable amount of weight or simply aged. The new ASC Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck with Liposuction) addresses unwanted abdominal fat, weakened muscles and loose, stretched out skin. The ASC Abdominoplasty is often part of the comprehensive Real Mommy Makeover which addresses a variety of symptoms and problems that arise from pregnancy and childbirth.

?This new body sculpting technique allows me to help transform patients? bodies. This procedure can be an excellent choice after childbirth or dramatic weight loss,? says Dr. Aguirre of Aguirre Specialty Care. Dr. Aguirre continues, ?I am pleased to offer this procedure because many of my clients are mothers who may work out and eat well, but still find that they are unable to be rid of loose skin. The ASC Abdominoplasty (Tummy Tuck with Liposuction) provides an excellent solution to this common problem. Patients experience vastly improved results due to the combination of liposuction and tummy tuck.?

Traditionally, physicians never offered liposuction at the time of abdominoplasty for fear of additional complications such as poor healing and skin necrosis. This concern has since been allayed. Tumescent anesthesia makes it possible to safely combine these two procedures for even better cosmetic results. Women don?t just want a flat tummy; they also want to draw in their waist line by reducing their ?muffin top? through liposuction, enhancing their curves for a more hour glass figure.

Using a modified Avelar technique, Dr. Aguirre is able to do the ASC Abdominoplasty safely, in the comfort of his in-office surgical suite. This method has proven to be associated with fewer complications than traditional Abdominoplasty which is performed in a hospital setting under general anesthesia.

Many patients undergo the ASC Abdominoplasty a few days before pelvic surgery to correct childbirth-related vaginal issues. Dr. Aguirre adds, ?I?m proud to more completely address the concerns of my patients as they undergo reconstructive or cosmetic vaginal surgery by adding ASC Abdominoplasty. Patients are elated to learn we can refine a number of areas with just one recovery period. This full transformation is the essence of the Real Mommy Makeover!?

About Oscar A. Aguirre, MD

Dr. Aguirre is a fellowship-trained urogynecologist who has dedicated his entire surgical career to the evaluation and management of vaginal relaxation and bladder/bowel disorders. Since early in his career, Dr. Aguirre has performed cosmetic gynecological procedures at the request of his urogynecologic patients. In 2006, he formally pursued his interest in the field of Female Genital Cosmetic Surgery (FGCS) under the supervision of world-renowned gynecologist, Dr. David Matlock of Beverly Hills. Dr. Matlock is the pioneer and developer of Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation? (LVR?) and Laser Reduction Labiaplasty. With this additional training, Dr. Aguirre became the third urogynecologist in the country to perform these aesthetic vaginal procedures and implement them at the time of urogynecological procedures to restore anatomical pelvic floor defects. He recently presented at The World Congress on Female and Male Cosmetic Genital Surgery attended by cosmetic vaginal surgeons from all over the world.

In May of 2011, Dr. Aguirre completed Hi Def Liposculpture body sculpting training, becoming the third surgeon in Denver to offer this procedure to his patients. He trained under Colorado?s own Dr. John Millard, president of the Advanced Body Sculpting Institute and a double-board certified plastic surgeon, internationally known for his expertise in leading-edge body sculpting procedures, and Dr. David Broadway, founder of the Broadway Center for plastic surgery and a triple-board certified plastic surgeon. Hi Def Liposculpture enables physicians who have already achieved advanced liposuction skill to further refine their skills and attain the highest level of body sculpting techniques. This includes fat grafting and transfer to various areas of the body that are depleted of volume, such as the buttocks and labia majora. This allows Dr. Aguirre to both sculpt and augment simultaneously, so as to perform the popular Brazilian Butt Augmentation. Hi Def Lipsculpture takes into consideration the patient?s anatomy and underlying musculature, focusing on the whole anatomy to create a work of art.

In November of 2011, Dr. Aguirre had the privilege of receiving training for minimally-invasive abdominoplasty with liposuction with the highly-esteemed, gynecologist and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Marco Pelosi II, who has been a prominent figure in women?s health since 1975. With this training, Dr. Aguirre has become a master of the specialized, highly-sought-after technique and is able to offer yet another important service to his patients.

Dr. Aguirre is a preeminent pelvic surgeon who has been providing urogynecologic care for 15 years and is an expert in addressing both women’s functional and aesthetic concerns. Women who have concerns with the appearance of their vulvar or vaginal function should seek out the care of an experienced urogynecologic specialist, best suited to identify and treat the underlying problem. Dr. Aguirre has two extra years of training in vaginal and pelvic floor surgery compared to most other gynecologists who perform vaginal rejuvenation. Likewise, most plastic surgeons have had little, if any, vaginal surgery training. As an associate of the Laser Vaginal Rejuvenation Institute of America, Dr. Aguirre is trained to perform his procedures with the same techniques and skills pioneered by Dr. David Matlock, with his own touch based on his broad background in pelvic reconstructive surgery.

ASC is a center of excellence for women, providing everything from urogynecologic procedures to aesthetic body contouring.
