“Fitness Made Simple” Star John Basedow To Speak at Long Island Sports Expo

July 22, 2008

(Long Island, N.Y.) John Basedow, a nationally recognized bodybuilder, fitness celebrity and infomercial star who grew up and lives on Long Island, will be among the speakers during the first annual Long Island Sports Expo that is set for Saturday-Sunday, September 6-7, 2008, at the Suffolk County Community College Sports & Exhibition Complex in Brentwood.

“With fitness, anything is possible, maintains Basedow, who is best known for his “Fitness Made Simple” workout and nutrition videos. “It creates a ripple effect and just makes everything better … physically, mentally, and emotionally.”

Basedow, who also is the author of Fitness Made Simple: The Power to Change Your Body and Life (McGraw-Hill), and has served as a spokesperson for the American Heart Association and led its annual Heart Walk, will speak and answer questions on Saturday.

“Fitness is not a game of how miserable you can make yourself,” says Basedow. You have to make it part of your lifestyle … not something you tolerate… but a part that you actually enjoy and look forward to.”

“Fitness Made Simple” is one of a wide array of seminars and demonstrations slated to take place during the Long Island Sports Expo. Targeted toward all sports and fitness enthusiasts; high school, college and youth athletes; coaches; athletic directors, and parents, the two-day event also will feature more than 100 exhibitors showcasing products and services.

Other 30-minute seminars will focus on sports performance training and conditioning, weight training, athletic injuries and rehabilitation, preventing burnout, mental preparation for athletic events, and coaching techniques. Hands-on demonstrations will focus on performance training and various sport-specific skills. In addition, Long Island’s Ultimate Athlete, a monthly high school sports magazine, will host a cyber-lounge filled with large-screen TV monitors with sports- and athletics-related video games. Professional athlete appearances also are being arranged.
