Beth Chamberlin Launches New Site Tonight
Beth Chamberlin, long-time leading lady on the legendary daytime drama, “Guiding Light” has adapted her cutting edge fitness program to create a high-quality home workout, using common household items as equipment.
New York, NY (PRWEB) April 28, 2011 – When Beth Chamberlin viewed Michele Obama’s video commemorating the first anniversary of her “Let’s Move” initiative to end childhood obesity, she was moved by the First Lady’s call to action. Beth realized that her television fame and her reputation and expertise in the fitness world placed her in a unique position to contribute in a meaningful way to this effort. So she dove into the task of creating a home fitness program for everyone.
“I believe that most children learn their important life lessons from their parents,” said Chamberlin. “And the best way for parents to encourage children to become more physically active is by setting the example.” Her first goal then was to create a fitness program that was safe, effective and could be done in the home so that children could see their parents exercising and even take part.
From her experiences in operating an online health and fitness business, Beth knew that the people trying to start a fitness program often find it difficult to find the time to go to the gym. Many are intimidated by the idea of exercising or don’t know where to start. Still others cannot afford the cost of trainers, gyms memberships or home equipment in these difficult economic times.
“I wanted to make the journey to fitness and vitality accessible and affordable for everyone. So the workout I created is designed to use products that people already have in their home or can be purchased in any supermarket for less ten dollars. I also made the workout available on my website “Beth Chamberlin Beauty, Health and Fitness,” as a gift for all those interested in taking this important step.”
Anyone interested in using this program can go to www.bcbhf.com, download a complimentary copy of the “First Lady Fitness Workout” and begin changing their lives and those of their children today. An introduction to this new workout can be seen on YouTube or at www.bcbhf.com.
“By offering this exercise program as a gift, I am hoping to reach those people who have not had access to home fitness before. I believe that this program makes it possible. I have no connection to Michele Obama nor did she endorse this program. But, I was inspired by her initiative and I dedicate this to her. I hope she doesn’t mind.”
Beth Chamberlin played the part of Beth Raines, on Guiding Light for 15 years. For the past three years she has been promoting the metabolic approach to strength and fitness training using kettlebells as the primary tool. She will be hosting a virtual launch party to celebrate the release of the First Lady Fitness Workout on April 28, 2011 from 7:00 to 9:00 PM eastern time. Those interested in participating may call (646) 200-0147 or log on to: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/indie_intertube/2011/04/28/bethchamberlincom-launch-party. An introduction for the first video can be seen at: http://youtube.com/watch?v=rveDCUPd8VA.

With "Guiding Light's Last Breath, New Life is Born
It is May 1, 2010 and in just about four minutes, at 11:00 am, they will be selling off the last of “Guiding Light”. At the Navy Yard in Brooklyn, “Guiding Light” will take its last breath. Painful to many of us who worked on and watched the show.
“Guiding Light” had something special. It brought people together, not just those of us that worked there, but families, friends. Mothers, daughters, granddaughters watched and then talked about this show. It represented a tradition and opened conversation between generations. Friends were made by a common interest in a particular storyline. Relationships were formed across the miles. People who would never have met became the best of friends; relationships that had suffered a rift, were mended. Yes, there was something special that was lost in the new world in which soaps and television in general finds itself.
But take heart, hope does exist. There is a new light that is trying to break through. This light is in the form of a production company called 9 After 7. I am a part of this group and what we are attempting to do is create a ‘new kind of light’. We want to give the fans what they lost. We want to give them the people, the couples and the type of stories they loved.
Today, May 1, 2010, at 12:01 am we launched our website www.newkindoflight.com and announced our first project. The fact that we commenced our new venture on the day that the last of “Guiding Light” was auctioned off to the highest bidder was not planned, not by us. I believe there is something in the stars. I believe we are all, cast, crew and fans alike being given a second chance.
Our first project is a full-length, direct-to-dvd feature. Its title is “La Lumiere”, which many of you know is French for light. I created it and coincidentally it is about a place, an inn where magic happens; a place where stars align and love and life are found. . .or lost. It is a place where past and present often mingle as one.
That is sort of what 9 After 7 was formed to do. Take the best of the past, those wonderful stories that brought us together and offer them through the new forms of media, technology and marketing that are available.
It will be a new kind of light. It will come in the form of DVD’s that fans can buy and have shipped to their homes. But, the most wonderful thing about this new venture is that it can never be canceled or auctioned off as long as there is interest. In this venture, the fan is the boss, the fans are ‘The Powers That Be”.
It is May 1, 2010, it is a new world and we have embraced it. We are creating a new paradigm of consumer driven entertainment tailored to the soap fan. We don’t know exactly where this new road will take us, but we do know it is worth traveling.
9 After 7 is offering a pre-release Limited Edition Director’s Cut of the movie, “La Lumiere”. Our company’s website is www.newkindoflight.com.
