January’s PRO Bootcamp, The Healthy Writer, is coming up fast! We begin

January 4th, so don't delay, get signed up today!

The first bootcamp of 2010 is a three-week long course, chock full of new

and fun information designed to get your new year off to a fantastic start!

We have an amazing SEVEN instructors presenting for three days each over

the three-week period. They’ll be right there ON the PRO-Class loop with

you, so their answers to your follow-up questions will appear more quickly. Of

course, you don't have to participate in every topic we're offering in

January, but we think you'll want to.

Check out this line-up:

WEEK 1

January 4–6, 2010

EXERCISE with KERI STEVENS. Are you ready to sweat? Keri’s ready to tell

you all you need to keep that body in shape and fight against that “trucker

rear” from long periods of sitting.

January 7–9, 2010

ERGONOMICS with DALE MAYER & RR (Ronna) SMYTHE. If you've ever endured the

agony of neck strain or overuse of your mouse hand (and who hasn't?),

don't miss this topic that combines Ronna’s medical expertise and Dale’s

intensive research and first-hand experience.

WEEK 2

January 11–13, 2010

your writing stress or other negative emotions? Healthy Writer Blogger

more than 30 pounds in 2009.

January 21–23, 2010
